(This makes no sense.) Alexa will inform what back links they have. I am not after any thing in this directory It's not mine. I took one link on it and got worn to refund and you know me not that kind to do that after I paid. and I did with some tools which gave PR 8 Mia ( The PR is fake. ) You ( valid PR8 domain ) (Originally Posted by Mia ) In my eyes directories like the flusy one are damaging the legitimate directory industry and owners. To me, its misleading and dishonest I will not agree with this.. If they will run it and do the good back link for it will work.
I will try to write this in an easy way for you The problem is that you are basing the quality of a directory on it's Google toolbar pagerank. Toolbar pagerank and real-time pagerank are not the same. Toolbar pagerank only gets updated on average 4 times per year, you should never base the quality of a link on toolbar pagerank. Alexa does not list all links to a site, your best choice would be to try yahoo: http://siteexplorer.search.yahoo.com/search?p=www.fluser.com&bwmf=s&bwmo=d&bwm=i and see that fluser has 1934 links. What are you trying to accomplish by purchasing general directory links?
I never regret to a link more than this one. The issue is not the PR or Alexa .Is it worthing or not. General directories links will never die and not all bad .
There's no doubt that purchasing a dropped or expiring domain can be a valid way to build a directory or any other site. Many folks are using these domains as a way to commit fraud. They know they are selling something that will, in time, have no value. Take the fellow who purchased a dropped domain that was the official site for a medical study on some disease hardly anyone ever heard of. Sure, some of the medical schools and medical journals were never going to go back and update their articles to remove the links. But all of the links that led to the high PR score were related to that disease, not to a link directory. The initial PR wasn't fake - the domain did have high value backlinks. But, it should be expected that a number of those links would disappear in time. It was being advertised as a high PR directory, when in fact, it was a site with a single high ranking page - the rest of it wasn't even indexed, much less had PR. Many are throwing up a directory on these domains, selling them as high PR and then taking people's money until the original backlinks finally dry up and the PR falls. It's simply the latest incarnation of snake oil. Just like the snake oil of old, the buyers think they are getting something of value when they're not. Timor, it sounds like you think that you've figured out a way to take these domains and build something of lasting value on them. That's great, really, I'd love to learn how you do it. But, if you are being honest, you would have to admit that most oddly named directories that are launched with high PR on the homepage are not going to last much past two or three PR updates and are offered with the sole purpose of taking advantage of newbs. Google's created a bit of a mess for themselves with this PR stuff. If I purchase a well-ranking site and continue building it, it should be none of their business. If I purchase a well-ranking site and remove all of the existing content and put something totally different on that domain, it seems like it should be considered a new site. The problem is even if I remove all of the existing content, the content could still match the original topic of the site. Seems to me with the new, high page rank directories, it wouldn't be that hard for Google to determine which is which. And besides, how exactly does one brand a directory named after some rare tropical disease? Oh, yes, I named my directory Strongyloidiasis.org because I thought it sounded catchy.
( The initial PR wasn't fake - the domain did have high value backlinks. ) Do the value backlinks will hold the update of the PR ? Many dropped domain names well maintained it became a quality directory.
(Do the value backlinks hold?) Well, first you've gotta figure that the doctor from the Mayo Clinic who links to that disease website will eventually drop the link to a study/organization that no longer exists. The other issue is relevance. Google says one thing and is apparently doing something else. They claim they place little value on irrelevant links but my research often tells a different story. As to whether or not the 'value' remains, your guess is as good as mine.
Sure will be many backlinks drop from any dropped name I don't think they can handle the lake on the PR And seems they are badly involve in the irrelevant links and content
You are being deceived here. That person is clever enough to raise their backlinks from 0 to 1461 in one months time. When the thread was opened all I saw was 0 backlinks and I didnt purchase it. If you carefully analyze the backlinks you will see most of the backlinks come from PR 0 - PR 2 directories that has same template. May be the owner of fluser has a network of directories and he was able to sky rocket the number of backlinks to make people like you believe that the PR is valid. I see they you have purchased a listing. Bad luck i guess. It's PR will fall for sure in the next update. I guess so. Michelle, that's the sad part. Few folks spoil the reputation of the old domains they invest on. Mostly these folks are after quick win in terms of money. Invest $x and get away with $2x before the next PR update and run away. Do this over again and again till you earn $50x. Who cares for reputation huh? Who cares for value and who cares for people who invested money in buying listing on their site? All they are after is money, money and money. I wouldn't accept it fully. Can you guarantee PR of your site? Can you guarantee backlinks of your site? I bet on that. No one can guarantee it. Backlinks has to be built over and over again to maintain PR. I had a PR 4 website 2 years back. Genuine website that was started from scratch. I built natural links - I mean I didn't buy links. 2 years I didn't do anything and the PR became 2 in last update. When I checked the backlinks, most of them were in tact. It is for some reason, some links were devalued and the PR dropped. No one understands this phenomenon and Google camouflages this under the name of Algorithm. As I said earlier, if a person is building a directory by acquiring (I am not calling it as dropped or expiring domain, coz it has a different meaning altogether) an old domain, maintaining the quality, maintaining the PR by building new directory related links, I don't see a problem in it. It's a valid approach. Michelle, we can not expect every one to start a directory from scratch and wait for 2 to 3 years to attraction PR and crowd right? Few people want to take off right from day 1 and if they can invest - In this case I don't see a problem. If the person is just building a directory and is after short win, I will support Mia and your complaints. If the person is building genuine directory on a decent name on an acquired domain, things will go fine for him in the days to come. All these dropped domain, inner page PR talks will be washed away in due course of time. This is what I think and you should point out if I am wrong - I am always open to constructive talk.

100% agreeing with you. I am not an expert, but from what you folks say and what I saw in this limited time, directories are considered to be quick rich programs by many folks. But you will have to realize that not every one are like that. Few people are still around thinking that they can build something of good value. Nope. I referred 'thread' to the sales thread that was opened on Sep 19. Not this thread. The domain wasn't having any backlinks before Sep 19. My best wishes.
Just as I said, the directory that you mentioned dropped from PR 8 to PR 6. Fortunate for you that it didn't drop much below that.
PageRank may fluctuate while the data is being synchronization over different Google DCs. You can also check PR from multiple Data Centers if its a same or not using this multi DC PageRank Checker tool.
