    Submitting to Directories and their Inside Page Ranks.

    A lot of Directories have inside page rank of 0. Often the main page has a PR of 4,5, or 6 but the pages in the categories often have PR-0.

    So seems like you can spend a lot time and $ submitting to directoris without much benefits.

    What do you think?
    Thanks

    Most of them are new directories with old domain names or expired domain names. :)
    I never buy links from such directories

    I never submit to those dirs who have no PR on inner pages.
    All my dirs have good PR on inner's (sig.)

    It takes time to build up PR on inner pages... especially when a directory does not require payment or even a reciprocal link!

    That is true and many people do not take this into consideration. With my directory I list new submissions on the front page. It takes a while to get PR on all pages so established directories are going to gve you more SE benefits.

    It is true that most of directories inner page page rank is less than
    top page of directory . After approval of site your site is list on that page
    which PR is less than top page of directory and which back link are not good for
    directory owner . so submission of site in in inner page is which page rank less
    top page not beneficial.

    When paying for a link you should focus on the PR of the actual page of where your link will be placed and the number of outbound and even to a lesser extent inbound links.

    That is if you're shooting for PR. If it's shooting for keywords then look for keyword density, meta tags, like sites, etc.

    I agree with this statement. When submitting to directories you should have a goal in mind and whatever that goal is that is what you should go for. If you do it that way then you will have some well rounded links pointing at your site and therefore you will good results either way.

    people don't realize some things... that even when the PR is 1 - 4 on inner pages ... you are getting a permenant link there....


    mostly those PR goes up ... sometimes it does come down ... but thats not the case...

    i try to look at the over all page strength because that reveals the strength of the directory and what is the possibility of it getting a good PR on its inner pages.

    Even though Romow has a low home page PR, but if you look at its inner pages it reveals that it is a very quality directory, so you need to consider alot of stuff.

    Google does make mistakes often, so it is not good to judge the directories if their inner pages are 0.

    most of the strong directories

    as Aviva, Alive, Forplex, Romow, Ask, Links Arena, Link factory etc. does have inner PR which is lower than their home page...

    the reason their prices are high because their home page PR is high ... and when google pick up the sites for the search index they do go for the highest home PR.. thats why .edu links are worthy... (aside the fact that they are most likely to be true and more reliable.)


    so those websites will most likely be the ones on the top for the keywords... so there are benefits..

    Yes.. As said Most directories having Index page lower PR and inner pages higher PR... I can give you examples. like this one..

    But people like their websites listed on high PR pages always...

    We working hard on that target and achieved that in our Directory . Our directory got most inner pages PR3. But we not satisfied on our goal. We worked for PR5 on index page and atleast PR4 of our inner pages.

    Will get it on next google update working on that..

    My personal suggestion is
    • We must not look on what PR the page where our url will be, but we must look whether that page is indexed by google.
    • How far that page is from the home page.
    • And the other urls on that page. If something is redirecting url or spam url.. that page will be droped by google soon..

    You have to be carefull because there are some which are on old domains but there are also new ones that just don't have PR in the toolbar on their inner pages. I only pay for links if I see PR on inner pages but I will submit free links to any with or without PR.

    You got me there. I use that tool too when I pay for a listing. Some Directories have PR6 on the index page but --sadly PR2/3 on inner pages whereas really strong directories have PR5 inner pages.

    But there are some strong directories which has no space on PR5 innerpages--but still they offer strong page strength value.
