Skimming thru this part of the forums you can get a rather hugh list of free and seo friendly directories. Up until now I mostly used LazySeo to submit to directories. But I only today found out that in SeoElite I have the option to add linkdirectories and linkpages of myself so I want to use it that way but I was wondering what will be approxiamently the maximum number of directories to submit I do realize it's almost impossible to answer as links get approved in different timescedules but just a ballpark number....50-100 100-200 200 or even more a day? Nice tool btw that I picked up in my searches abonding auto submission is http://www.shortkeys.com/lite.htm it will allow you to put upto 15 phrases in new shortkeys and that makes submitting manually a lot easier
Theres really not an accurate answer to this as Links dont appear instantly but still I believe submitting to 100-200 is fine . Again , the links dont appear instantly so you may submit to more .
this question has been asked many times, some of them will aprove your link immediately, others in 1-3 days, others in few weeks, or months. You will get continuously backlinks from directories.
I realize that but the list grew to about 900 directories and I started to get a bit afraid it will blow my site of the Google radar
Submit as many as is humanly possible, manually. That's probably no more than 100 a day. That kind of link building is unlikely to register as unnatural, because even in the unlikely event that you get listed by 100%, Google will only spider a few of those links at a time, and they get added fairly gradually.
What if it were a large submission service with many submitters able to submit to around 1-1.5k+ in a day.. ?
Yeah there are no limits on how many to submit to due to the fact that there is no chance you will have all your links authorised in the same day or that google will crawl all of the directories you submit to in the same day. I usually find it easier to just have a few hours off work and submit to everything I can.
I don't think you can get penalized by getting 1000 backlinks. My new PR0 site gets over 3000 backlinks from last update (as shown by Yahoo) and I'm curious what pr will get after next update .
In our experience it is a tedious time consuming process that you have to do continuously 365/24/7 One of the necessities if you want to build a well established Directory Just keep submitting as you have no idea when your submittal will be approved or in some circumstances depending on the submittal rejected
One of our users offered widesite links for our site instead of paying for our service. I think it was very good offer. Plus some hundreds from free directories.
