There was a time when people spent big money on bid directories. I remember that most of those directories with high bids used to be very strong (PR5,6,7) and popular. BTW I don't own them, that's just a link to a directory list I provided. As for inflated bids...I really can't answer so it's probably better to ask the owners...from "thinking" that some bids might be inflated to actually "proving" that some bids are fake...it's a long, long way, and personally I wouldn't talk garbage unless I can prove something. @ alistair80 - there are lots of stories around..heard them too...but it doesn't mean all the stories are real. I know most of the owners of those HB directories, they also own other respectable sites and they used to come on these forums to give advice to newbies, to help people building quality directories. They are respected members of this community and you shouldn't make any sort of accusations unless you can prove somehow. Hope this helps Dan
Niether would I. And all the directories listed there are not his either. He's a good guy and has created a good directory (zyas) that has witnessed constant updates and feature enhancements since its launch. I dont know why people here cant accept a simple statement without being susceptible... It was a simple statement about a fact that's well known by many. It didnt refer to any particular directory nor did I refer to any particular person
"I won't spend more than 5 bucks on any PR 5-10 directory unless it has PR4+" How does the above sentence look like, I would spend only $5 for an inner PR4+ directory, to you????
So I quoted the wrong one, but this is where I should have quoted.. Then I saw where I originally quoted that says with "inner PR4" where you site needs to be placed and I said good luck. Any how, good luck finding the PR4 + deeplinks for $5 to $10 bucks. You get what you pay for as they say.
Friends Thanks a lot to all those who responded ! To those who PM'ed me, please dont PM me. Please post your links here in this thread only. Thanks
I would be careful, now what I know with some directories. Must look at their site ranking, and web traffic for your particular niche. Yes, gives added link juice, but have never had much success with added business for the cost. I'll be a cold day in hell before I spend $100+ dollars per mo. in another directory...$75...$50.00
J There are actually a handfool of them that I know of. Just now I checked one of them ---- PR6 homepage --Computer & Internet PR4 - Web Directories PR3 -Page2 PR2 -Page3 PR2 - 18,742 Alexa Featured - $6.95/year Regular -- Free They are really there - but very few. And the directory domain is 100% related to directories - so not a CRAP one too. This particular network has some of them with same profiles
I remember running into that, but I now can't remember where at...I dint say there wasn't a place, I just said "good luck" One in a few.
