Can I get a good PR with only free directories?

Discussion in 'Link Development' started by Jontish, Jul 22, 2009.

    I'm opening up a few sites at once now and I wonder if I can follow a certain method to receive PR 2-3.

    So my question is if I can get that PR just by submitting to a lot of (100) free link directories?

    Thanks!

    I would not suggest submitting to directories. Their value has decreased in the eyes of Google.

    You can still get PR depending if the directory is high quality and the categories have a PR. Finding a free directory like that is VERY hard.

    I would suggest other methods like blog commenting, social bookmarking and article submission. All three give good link juice if the site has a decent PR.

    PR2/3 are quite easy to achieve. Just follow basic link building strategies (article distribution, blog comments, internal linking etc etc) and you should get PR2/3.

    Again, you are too concerned about Pagerank. Get Concerned about relevance instead of chasing a number.

    Apart from the usual 'chasing' the number stuff, I can tell from my experience that PR 1 with only directory submissions is DEFINITELY achievable. Most of the times I manage PR 2 after 4-5 months (from only directory submission). Earlier PR4 and PR3 were easy target.

    Exactly!! Why are you concerned about your pr, unless it is because you are selling links as this seems to be the only benefit of high pr, you can charge more because everybody thinks it's so important.

    Content, content and more content, make your site the best site in your business, think of the users and not the SE

    I think its possible to get a good pr by just submitting to free directories. you would need to submit your butt off. But im sure submitting to directories isn't the only thing your doing is it?

    You all are some how right. Beside the traffic is more important then PR. If you have a professional and decent website then PR is not matter. Because traffic do many things for you. :)

    Alright thanks for the sharings. What I want with one of my sites is just receive PR 2-3, if I had that PR, I would be beating many of my competitors that only have PR 0-3.

    if that really work, I think it is easy to get pr4 just by paying people to make directory submission.
    I already pay someone in dp forum to submit my blog to 1000 directory just for $12..
    so if this methods really work, I will use the service for my other blog..
    it is just nice to have pr 4 blog for just $12 :)

    Hi there.. I did that and nothing happened.. Well, I did get some backlinks but only a few.. For about 10 submissions I did, only one or two have given backlinks or were approved in a few days.. If you want to wait for months, then there's nothing wrong with free directory submission.. Post to those with high PR only so that you will not be wasting your time.. :)

    Depends on the Page rank of the directories where you are submitting your site, I think..you can get good page rank if the directories have the page rank greater than 4.
