Press Release on ILQ rating and TOP WEB DIRECTORIES List

I send a Press Release concerning ILQ rating to PRWEB and PRNEWSWIRE.

Innovative System Rates Websites by Their Quality of Inbound Links

Marketing expert Bob Mutch has developed a new system to rate Websites based on the number of inbound links a site has from Educational and Government Websites and from the Open Project Directory (DMOZ). This new rating system, called ILQ (Inbound Link Quality), is not easily manipulated or artificially inflated through purchased links, and it provides a better matrix to evaluate the ranking weight search engines give inbound links.

Aylmer, ON (PRWEB) April 12, 2006 -- Website marketing expert Bob Mutch ofSEO Companyhas announced the development of a new and innovative Website rating system. This rating system, called ILQ (Inbound Link Quality), is based on the quality of a Website inbound links.

Unlike Google's PageRank rating system, which can be easily manipulated and artificially inflated by purchased links, the ILQ rating system is determined by the a Website’s number of inbound DMOZ, EDU, and GOV links a Website has. These types of links are not purchased but are created because of the important and quality of a Website’s resources and content.

High ILQ-rated Websites are trusted by search engines. This trust is transferred to other sites that receive inbound links from these high ILQ sites. As a results gaining links from sites that boast high ILQ is going to be very helpful in acquiring higher rankings for targeted keywords.


SEO Company has provided a list of the top 40 rated by ILQ. This list will help in your selection of what Directories you should add your Website to.

Because of the huge increase in the buying and selling of text link ads, search engines are giving more ranking weight to trusted sites. This is why it is important for Websites to gain links from high ILQ-rated sites and makes the ILQ rating system an important gauge when considering link placements.

SEO Company is owned by Bob and Susan Mutch and employs 4 full time employees and a number of consultants on contract. SEO Company provides directory submission services, an article submission service, and SEO SEM services.

So you're saying these rankings are based solely on .gov, .edu, and inbound DMOZ links?

Interestings idea since these cannot be manipulated I suppose, but I fail to see the validity to soley base credibility on these standards.

 

bbott:

Well I think the validity is laid out quite clearly in the press release. The high ILQ directories have links from sites that search engines trust. The directories give out links to submitted sites and attenuated trust is passed to those site.

Due to the selling of text link ads an increased share of the link weight pie is being given to trusted links and less ranking weight given to links that are not trusted. Therefore links from high ILQ sites are going provide more ranking weight.

We very well may see the same thing happen as did with Pagerank. Pagerank ranking weight got devalued because it was bought and resold until now most SEO experts hold that it has very little or no ranking weight.

As a rule you can't buy a DMOZ, EDU or GOV links. They are based on quality content. A site that has 5 or 10 or 100 of these type of links has a very high is change that that site has very high quality contact.

Hope this makes things clearer for you.

 

1/ Having a backlink from DMOZ isn't synonym of quality
2/ There is many quality sites not listed in DMOZ
3/ There is many quality sites which doesn't have bakclinks from .deu or .gov

 

turulillo:

>>>1/ Having a backlink from DMOZ isn't synonym of quality

I agree with that but it is an indication of quality and DMOZ is a trusted site.

>>>2/ There is many quality sites not listed in DMOZ

Common sense tells us this. I have yet to hear anyone argue that there are no quality sites that are not listed in DMOZ : )

>>>3/ There is many quality sites which doesn't have backlinks from .edu or .gov

I don't think you will find any one that disagrees with that.

What is your point if I may ask.

You statements are stating the obvious.

 

My point is that the criteria on which relies your tool aren't significant or maybe I'm missing something ?

 

turulillo:

>>>My point is that the criteria on which relies your tool aren't significant or maybe I'm missing something ?

Well if DMOZ, EDU and GOV links are not significant to indicate trust and quality of links I would sure like to know what you consider more significant.

While the subject of significance is open to some debate, besides domain age, site relevancy, and link position what do you consider more significant than getting links from DMOZ, EDU, and GOV sites.

 

Can you gimme one good reason why we should consider a DMOZ link as important? So many spam websites are listed there.
Also if you really think that buying links is a big NO-NO what is the textlinkbrokers.com doing in your SIG

 

max pain:

>>>Can you gimme one good reason why we should consider a DMOZ link as important?

DMOZ links are not for sale and for the most part you get those links based on the quality of your content. When you start getting more than 5 or 10 DMOZ links that really says some thing about the quality of your site.

I like many SEO expert hold that Google considers DMOZ links to be trusted. Show me a Website that has 10 plus DMOZ links that is not a quality site. You will be hard done as you go down the list to find many. The list is somewhere but I couldn't seem to Google it up.

I think Hutcheson’s (DMOZ Meta) comment has merit. "Their ODP status reflects pre-existing success, not the other way 'round. And that's generally true of the ODP -- it doesn't confer success, it only recognizes it."

>>>Also if you really think that buying links is a big NO-NO… what is the textlinkbrokers.com doing in your SIG

I don't see where I said that buying links is a big no no, and that is not an opinion of mine. I do however think it is best to get links that the search engines give the most ranking to and that will bring convertible traffic to your site.

I hold for the most part that links that are obtained naturally are the best in the long run. That is why I now employee 5 programmers full time and am spending my money developing resources on my sites and on the meirt of those resources that is where my links for the most part have come from.

Having said that I am all for buying quality relevant one-way links. And one of the places to start is Web directories. Hence the ILQ system that helps people decide which sites are going to be better as far as the quality of the inbound links the directories have.

>>>…what is the textlinkbrokers.com doing in your SIG

I think that Rob and Jarrod are great people and they took time and helped me some when I started out. I also used to blog for them before I got to busy. They asked me to put there link in my SIG so I did. They do favors for me I do favors for them.

 

Atleast Age of link is counted for quality of directory after Jagger 3, i think,
Here is review by Aaron wall >>http://www.seobook.com/archives/001583.shtml
Nice work bob

 

montux:

Thanks!

I am adding a number of things to it slowly. Yesterday I did notes showing the directories that had less that 1000 pages in the Google index and the directories that Google deemed there pages all the same.

I am planning on doing a review on things like which sites that give sidewide links that are not in a nofollow tag, which ones allow keyword title stuffing, which ones have x number of dead links, and which ones that have poor editorial quality.

I am also consider doing up a script that put a number of pages and check the cached dates on them. Perhaps even a PR column.

 

Agree, few directories are now another link farms.. just submit and Approved without any editing, NO Rules and regulations at all. something like spamming is easily possible.
isn't it possible to review by visitor's experince bob?

Well link farms are general a farm of sites that interlink so I wouldn't say directories are that but I would say that the links from most of the new direcrtories that we see appearing daily offer little or no ranking weight.

>>>...isn't it possible to review by visitor's experince bob?

Well seeing Google has done such a good job not many people use directories for searching. Most people getting into directories are doing it for the ranking weight. So I guess the visitor's experience may not matter alot for my study.

I have been thinking of some kind of script that drills down to the bottom category and checks to see if the pages are in Google index.
