Help me with my research on effectiveness of submission to free directories...

Hi

Aim: I want to find the effectiveness of submitting a site to free directories.

Pre assumption: If submission is effective it must appear in yahoo and msn search engines - link indexing -

Method: I find some volunteer here who claim to have submitted to tens of sites - the more and during the longest time the better- Then I check their domain in msn and yahoo to find out how many of free directories have been indexed for their site.


1. Firstly I would like to hear your ideas and suggestions and criticize on the method.
2. If you have submitted a site to a large number of free directories please mention it and the time that you started submitting.


Thanks.

 

Wouldn't it make more sense to start it with a site of your own and track all the submissions and listings accurately?

 

I think Only 10/4 chance whenever you put your links in free directories. Firstly they See that your site is commercial or simple? Then many free directories not be indexed by Google or Many directories are Paid Listings.

Plz check my Recent Blog. I think you find your all answers.

 

How about not asking any questions in any forum and finding it for ourselves? I just need one million more year - low IQ problem -

and even if they are indexed they have very little value, isn't this true?

so if we trust what sagbee said we can reach to a quick result and say "submitting to free directories generally is a waste of time"

Any idea?


sagbee, you didn't put you "recent blog"'s url there.

 

Worked for me. I submitted to as many free directories as I could over the past year. #1 in MSN and Yahoo, #5 in G.

 

I like those chances!

 

I use my tool ( in my sig ) to keep track of directory sumissions

 

This would be a very good case for the research. Are you talking about the site in your signature?

 

You can look at the aquarium site in my signature. All my links have been from free directories and some reciprocal link exchanges.

 

Yep check the sites in my signature all freedirectories over the past 8 weeks or so

 

The tool in my sig automatically checks which dirctories accepted your site, just by the click of a button.

 

check my links
i started submitting to free directories a couple of weeks ago
i have been submitting to directories in my directory list http://www.ranktips.com/directoy-list
and have just finished the D category

 

Thanks for suggesting your sites. I am going to work on them.

 

Nope. Thats brand new.

I will PM you the url.

 

Yeahh because I worked from eight months for free directories submission and i know How They React . We manually worked for submission free directories and check them when and where they put our links.

 

ROFL! I'll back that horse any day hehehe.

Free directories don't work, I'm only #1 in Google, Yahoo and MSN for 2 search terms, what a waste of time

 

How are you sure that it was the result of directories submissions? How many backlinks you have and how many of them are from free directories?

If you don't have the time to find it I would be very happy to find it out. Could you mention the site?

 

Because I eat, sleep and drink directories.

Also I did my own research, and I came to the conclusion. They work. Backlinks has nothing to do with it, its the saturation of the LINK ANCHOR in the link, not the number of backlinks, that is getting me the top spot. I have thousands of backlinks, but most of them link to internal pages, and most of them have NO link anchor. It's the targeted ones that I have gained that have done all the work.

 

Can anyone tell me, one person and two Login with in same signature

Keep it up.
