Advantage Content Directory Static HTML pages Deep links - more

Introducing Advantage Content Directory

This directory does not use a script! Instead, all pages are 'hard coded' static HTML.

Currently standard listings are free. Featured listings are also available and have the following bonus features:

In content link. Instead of having the title be the anchor text you may select words within the description itself for the link.

Featured listings will appear in the chosen category at the beginning of the listings as well as on the main category. For example if you choose a featured listing in the General Directories category your featured listing will also appear on the main Interent category.

You also get to write your own Meta Title and Meta keywords for the details page.

Details page with up to 1000 character description with anchor text "in content" with the description and 5 extra deep links to your site.

Example of details page - http://www.advantagecontent.com/family/craft/beboes.php

Check out http://www.advantagecontent.com and submit your links

Thanks!

 

You have some nice ideas going on, I submitted Ask Directory and suggested a paid directory category.

 

I have been searching and searching for directories that have extra features like this and there arent many. So I thought I would start one. This directory is new but I have already spent a lot (to me anyway) on getting some good quality PR inbound links and will continue to do so. I honestly think that the extra added value with the featured listing is well worth the price.

Thanks everyone for your submissions. I will work on them very soon

 

The big problem with static html directories is that they are so much hard to maintain, in the end I don’t know if there is big advantage on SEO terms to be static.
At my directory I changed the phpld script so I also have the links inside the descriptions.
You should put the featured price visible I didn’t found it.
Best of luck

 

The featured listing price is 4.00 and is listed under "Featured Listing" near the top of the submit page. But I do see what you mean, I will make it more prominent

 

but you said the directory was code with hardcore html but it would brevery difficult to maintain how it is possible

 

They sure are. I tried to keep http://www.qualitativesites.com free for as long as possible, but I was spending too long adding and editing submissions.

It's really good though to see more directories like this, especially offering deep links as well. I'll submit something tomorrow, I'm sure.

 

I have noticed that, as I look at directories, I have never seen a listing page with a PR higher than "0" unless it was the first page. What I mean is that, for example, if you go to a main category in a directory the PR on the first page of results is often above "0" but whenever you click "next" the PR is always "0". So my thought is that with a script those additional pages do not get PR. With static HTML I believe this will not be the case.

When I see a directory with a good PR on the home page and the main category pages but a "0" on all the "next" pages of results I do not feel that it is a good value to pay a premium to have my site listed on page 2+ of the results.

Now, anyone correct me if I am wrong about this, as I said this has just been my observation and my thoughts on the matter.

NOTE: Free submissions will be limited to the first 100 approved links. After that the price will only be $1.00. As most of you are well aware this type of directory can be very time consuming. When the price goes in place I will also add the "in content" anchor text linking to the standard listing

 

Your observation of PR flow is not accurate, lots of directory with scripts have good internal PR, I think the big problem is with phpld v2 for example site-sift script as a very good PR flow.
You are right what really matters is the PR on the page and not the PR of the homepage.
MY honest opinion you will not gain very nothing but work using static pages, if you use site-sift you are guaranteed to have a excellent PR flow, I can not confirm with Phpld v3 because is very new.
Other things that will improve your internal PR are deep linking, good internal linking and unique content.
At my Ask Premium Directory I use 80% deep links, unique content and phpld v3 let’s see how it goes on the PR update.

 

Thanks for your reply. Could you give me any examples of where a directory has any secondary category page with a PR ? I have honestly searched quite a lot for an example of that but so far I have never found one. Even directories with PR as high as 6 have not shown a PR for a secondary page. To be sure that you understand what I mean I am not talking about just internal pages - I am talking about "page 2" page 3" etc of actual category listings.

Thanks again for your time on this matter

Do you whant me to go on?

(I think i deserve some reputation and possible a featured listing in your directory )

 

Dang! Ask beat me to it, but here are some:

http://www.alivedirectory.com/
http://www.earthlook.com/
http://www.webdirectory.com/
http://botw.org/
And on and on and on.... I can name 100 that have PR on secondary and deeper pages.

 

I dont think you understand what I am saying. I have seen tons of pages with PR like you have given but none of the ones you listed seem to be for "page 2" "page 3" etc of the category results. Even with Earthlook when you go to the bottom of, say the General Directories category and click "page 2" the PR is "0"

 

OK, look
http://www.octopedia.com/Internet-and-Computers/Directories/3 Pr4

Pushing PR to internal pages is always a problem even on static pages
the best i seen is Site-Sift, i think you should try it.

 

2 things you can do, is put the 2 and 3 pages on the sitemap or other page with pr, more difficult do external deeplinking to 2 and 3 pages

(Thank you to the person that gave me the red points )

 

OK thats the first example I have seen. Do you know what script does this site use?

Also keep in mind that I said "Now, anyone correct me if I am wrong about this, as I said this has just been my observation and my thoughts on the matter."

I am not trying to argue and I never said that I knew this for a fact. It has just been my observation from looking at many many directories.

 

I think is site-sift altered but I am not sure.

 

I noticed that your Ask directory is phpLD yet you are recommending that I use Site Sift. So in your opinion Site Sift would be better suited for this? By the way I do appreciate all the time you have taken with this thread and I will give you a free featured listing once I get all this sorted out.

 

One static directory I know that as good internal pr is http://www.index-it.net/ the owner is banless.

I use phpld because I am not expecting on having more than 1 to 2 pages on each category, and I hope v3 will be better than v2 and I will do external deep linking to 2 pages if they exist.

If you are going for a paid directory with low listings maybe HTML pages is ok link index-it.net, on free directories just forget it to much adding and cutting.

 

This is a great idea and I definitely think the value in submitting to "hard-coded" directories such as these could be the equivalent of submitting to dozens of traditional php directories.
