For submitters (non spam ) what do you need to see on a web directory to make you want to suggest a site? And is there any good guidelines and tips from any established directory owners. Please divulge your secrets
Good quality sites listed where I'll be listed. Preferably the directory is a niche directory that is well edited, has interesting sites, and of course must be indexed by Google.
Before anything else you must make sure that directory is Site Owners Friendly (SOF). All links must point to your site and not to internal pages First you need to do is check latest link page and look at editorial integrity. Quality directory will never allow description whereas words like “flowers†or “gifts†etc. repeated more than once. You ca also run search for mentioned words to get better picture. Second check if there are utilities pages like: Details, Rate, Review. Quality directory will give site owners backlink from these pages as well, which combined with link page will generate total of 4 backlinks to your site. And the rest you will find in The Best “cream of the crop†Directories! fastreplies
I like free directories with: 1. Clean design. 2. Empty of spam. 3. Quality content highly organized. 4. Comprehensive submission guide. 5. Easy submission process with out unnecessary complications. 6. Active editors which review submissions in responsible time.
I thought Canada deported all wannabies SEOs to North Pole to shepherd White Bears but apparently they forgot about you my little Canuck. LOL, thanks to Molson Canadian not everybody in Canada knows as little as you do fastreplies
Great directories, both paid and free, have to possess certain qualities: 1. Strict moderation. 2. Limited number of listings per page (usually up to 10). 3. Good indexing of all pages by search engines. 4. Easy search and navigation. 5. The directory must have a high SEO performance (Alexa, PR) 6. High attendance.
Thanks for the advice fellas. Please keep the good tips coming if you have any. I also think what fast replies said holds allot of merit. Its a great way to check to see if there is spam in a directory. 10 listings per page as MGwebmaster said is enough. Thanks. But what about the amount of outbound links on your homepage. Doesn't it work like this, the more outbound links you have on your homepage the more the pagerank gets diluted.
Are you saying if directory with thousands of links to review takes it time to do good job then that directory is not a quality directory? And what PR has to do with anything? To me if PR0 directory editors doing their job and keeping freaking spammers away by rejecting garbage submissions says that this directory is going to be around for a long time, long after every instant inclusion cesspool directories will be gone to land of oblivious. fastreplies
Here is a list of Directory I was emailed from a submission service I tried to copy and paste it but it needs editing to show the url PR and Alexa So here is the link http://www.articlessubmissionservice.com/allmanualdirectories.php
Regularly a very good indicator of whether a directory is a valuable one and will serve your search engine optimization purposes is whether or not it has an effective and enforced submissions policy which ensures that listings are exactly what they pertain to be. And a directory with an useful editorial policy is unlikely to offer free directory submissions for the reason that of the man hours involved in ensuring that the SEO submissions made are relevant and authentic.
Rubbish... Rubbish... Rubbish... Who told you that or you just made your own uneducated guess? And how SEO submissions is fit in what you just said and what it has to do with editing? AMRAY has been paying editors and yet inclusion is FREE. Just in case you doubt their editorial integrity and before you post another "jewel of abstract thinking" visit http://www.amray.com/searches/new/ and learn thing or two from the Best fastreplies
It Is my Opinion, Everybody have an opinion. you have other opinion about this matter, OK, But why Other opinion is Rubbish!!!?
Well, because opinions based on known facts but what you are offering is based on hearsay. I provided you with a fact and if your "opinion" is not rubbish, then you can easily to prove me wrong. Would you like to try it? fastreplies
