    Very nice interview indeed -although I didn't agree on one particular point that (Site Wide links harm PR- nobody knows how Google awards PR and Dave should not have such pre-conceived notions when I could give him good examples of directories with no Sitewide getting weakened and other directories with site-wides getting stronger)- But now I know how HUMBLE a human being David is:cool: He is right on my thinking that getting same PR as Aviva & Alive is still far away from them and it will still need few yuears to be compared with them. That is 100% of what I also think and appoaching with my directory.

    Thanks Chetan for another splendid interview and best of luck to Dave.

    Nice review sizzler your true talents are visable as well as Dave Es as an SEO
    though i tend to agree with Jhnrang that sitewides aren't harmful an actually i see them
    still being very helpful and i don't think google has implemented anything just yet let
    along hurt a site because it offers it.
    Dave has bought many Reviews from us for his customers and we appreciate
    and will continue to support and help him in any way that we can as he showed hes
    humble and also a generous man..

    thx

    Thanks all :)

    Jhnrang and malcomn, i dont want to disagree, but i would say what Dave said is also not wrong, as i have experience with that thing... Selling sitewides decreased quality of my previous directory!

    Anyways cant argue much, as my other directory, in which i have sold a a couple of sitewides.. i haven't seen any bad effects in its rankings till now.

    Hi Chetan--as you say one of your directory got effected and the other didn't --and that is my POINT. Nobody knows how G awards PR - so its inappropriate to say anything definitively.

    Elegant Directory --was a PR6 directory with innerpages PR4 before last update. Now its still PR6 --but most of its innerpages have become PR5. And it always had many homepage OBLs:cool:

    Yes i agree that theirs hardly any proof of such but google is always changing its algo so what you think is affecting this could be affecting that tomarrow kinda thing..
    So who really knows ... just try to get to the top and stay thier and be happy :D

    thx

    The site-wide thing might have been a bit of a gut reaction because I would be to paranoid to sell em on myne, I don't think they will affect a directories PR and I submit to quality directories with site-wides are not, Malcolm - Biz-King and Sleek are looking quality that new mod with the deep link descriptions and all of the little add on's make em stand out from the crowd, I gave em both a digg yesterday and will have more submissions soon.

    I have exactly the same stance as you on sitewide links, but I do not submit to directories with too many sitewide links, unless the price is much lower.
    I don't think that sitewides can affect directory PR, but I am pretty sure that they do affect PR juice that is passed to listed sites.

    Thanks Dave for clearing out the point.:) Yes -Biz-King and Sleek are Malcolm1's BIG-Bullys:D

    I am also preparing one -but it will need whole of June for it to finish. Perhaps you still are not aware of it my BULL-DOG;)
