Hello... UPDATE: Thank you for getting this issue behind us now as all my sites were once again re-added to www.infinitywebdirectory.com & www.directorytube.com as per our arrangement. I think you will agree that its better to do good business rather then bad business. Unfortunitly in our industry their are a few that cant be trusted and only wish to collect then a month or 2 later remove links. Thier is No room for individuals like this who do these type of acts as they were payed for a service that should be honored and respected as any contract binding. No this does not pertain to you and i did not call you anything that resembles a scammer... and you have kept your word as a man should. Thank you for keeping your word and re-adding as per our agreement. thx malcolm
Give me $3000 and I will get you a PR7 by the next update. just kidding of course, I rather do that for my own directories.
Honestly? 8 bucks was my initial budget, and it's what I started with. I submitted to directories like hell, did as much free advertising as I could, and built up some money with featured links. I sold some cheap sitewides, ran some featured link sales, and made a couple hundred. With that money, I paid for submissions, paid for directories like Alive and Aviva (and BOTW which I got rejected too because I was a noob and didn't know they hated directories).
I have 7 months old site and I get PR4 on first update so I was very happy and work more to get PR5-6 on next update. But I get PR3. I was realy not happy at all!
Hmm, I don't seem to do anything quickly... Anyway, I finally made it to a pr 5 on Grokodile. I think it is mostly due to backlinks from blog sites that have added themselves. The backlinks are not mandatory, but I sure do appreciate them!
Mine didn't move (voisd), although its predicted a PR6 in the next update. My new one (unleashed) is predicted to go from PR0 to PR5 which isn't bad... although im never put that much faith in the prediction machine!!!
I'll hook anybody here up with a sitewide link for $20/mo, image ad for $30/mo. Just cause directory people are sweet.
I think investing money is a must to get PR5 in 100 days (Google update cycle). I managed to get PR5 with $0, but it took 6 months with over 10hrs/day... I had to do that in my case. Started with few bux just for domain registration and hosting fee Never considered to buy a link back then. But after making some money with it, I could start to invest some. This time, I am also getting a directory PR5 from PR0, just like someone said. It's so easy now, but it wasn't back then...
Yes--it can be done with a lower budget and over a certain period of time--ideally if I had the money--I would have taken 6 months forr all the required links to build.
