What paid directories do you use?

cmeinck · #1 Jul 15th 2005, 11:17 am

I've submitted to a few paid directories after reading about them here. Just curious what paid directories everyone prefers here at DP. Here are the one's I'm using:
Seekon
Seoma
Sevenseek
bCentral Small Business
SOCengine
Uncover the Net

I'm sure there are a few others that I've paid and forgotten.

MSN's Small Business Directory and Joeant both gave me
several backlinks.

I plan on Bigall. Just sent them an suggestion for a category before submitting. Ableseek looks like a nice directory, but their About Us section is pretty "cold".

For $40, I think I'd like to be able to ask about the status. Before even considering them, I need them to add a relevant category. We'll see if they get back to me...

I think it is very important to look at the PageRank of the page your link will appear, as well as make sure the pagerank is being passed.

Can you explain further? Right now, I'm using Firefox to check PR. I just submitted to Bigall which is a PR 6 homepage -- but my category was just a PR3. However, I found that to be with a few directories that I've paid for.. SevenSeek is another example. The page I'm on is a PR0. I'm guessing it's because there was absolutely nothing on it before me.

I would recommend http://www.site-sift.com/ web directory, had a pr8 homepage and passes pr from category pages.

You can check some of the sites currently already in the directory and check to see if the directory is accounted for in the backlinks of the various major SEs.

this one: Site Sift

cmeinck · #11 Jul 15th 2005, 7:22 pm

The category I'd submit to at SiteSift would be a PR0?

It is listed in Google...

I see a PR4 on that page.

Blogmaster · #13 Jul 15th 2005, 8:02 pm

same here, and it only has 6 OBLs on it.

My Firefox PR tool for Mac is being flaky.

I'm going to submit to this site too.

Thank to the previous posters..submitted to bigall.com and greenstalk. Both directories were very responsive and greenstalk added a category!

Still waiting to hear back from Ableseek.

This forum rocks. Thanks.

I always check the pr of the page with a tool like future pagerank on seochat or a host of others just to make sure. Also check the outbound links on the page to ensure they are not javascript onclick's...

Cheers

Site-Sift
BigALL
UTN
BOTW

site-sift.com/ looks good. Thanks guys had not seen that one before.

QUESTION: What about paid directories that have enough traffic so you actually get some visitors and not just PR from the link. site-sift.com does not look like it gets much traffic which ones do? If site-sift had more traffic I would buy a partner link on the front page.

If you care PR of the listing page, this directory give PR4 for most subcategory.

5starAffiliates · #19 Jul 20th 2005, 9:22 am

Hey just found a VERY cool tool that should help everyone a ton!

Lists ALL the directories and you can sort by Alexa ranking or PR and it tells you the prices. VERY comprehensive!
