Alive directory is very well know and reputable directory in DP forum. So many DP members has it in their signature, some of them advertise it as PR 7 directory. But what is actual PR for Alive Directory? My toolbar is showing PR 4 but when I checked in http://www.iwebtool.com , most of the data center showing PR 2. http://www.iwebtool.com/pagerank_checker?domain=alivedirectory.com PR 7 and PR4/PR2 is big difference. What is actual PR for Alive directory? If indeed they have lower then PR 7, is it not cheating? What does DP editors/ DP owner think about this? Since DP does not allow any spam/cheating, how come this is allowed? I don’t know who own this directory and it is nothing personal. There so much buzz about this directory I wonder what is story behind this.
As maldives said,it's a strong PR7 directory! You can check the PR here:http://livepr.raketforskning.com/?u=www.alivedirectory.com Why it's PR4 on some dc's? I guess they are dead already..
I think with respect the story is something like this http://www.marketleap.com/publinkpop/ alivedirectory.com Total Back Links 935,804 Google/ AOL/ HotBot 13,200 MSN 146,756 Yahoo!/ FAST/ AltaVista 775,848 Its a 900lb Gorilla How do you become a Gorilla you get to :- The Top Of The Pile
alive is a strong PR7 directory and Chris invests a lot in building links and releases many templates. Alive is the most promoted directory here and it is definitely worth your money submitting your good sites to alive directory google link 13,200 yahoo 771,643 msn 146.721
lol funny thread let me explain the datacenters which show pr 4 and pr 2 ... are the old ones which never got updated .... Alive Directory is a Strong PR 7, and remained seven for the past 2 updates, so we know its stable. With the amount of backlinks i am 100% sure chris is not cheating.
Hmm, i wonder how long this directory exits? How long to get to pr 7. I bet probably had use alot of money
You think? I mean Aviva really seems to be very strong competition for Alive, in fact id go as far as to say Aviva is promoting just as much...
So WWW make all the difference. I was checking without www ...but it also showing PR 4 with www in my toolbar. I guess the data center did not get the update yet. Sorry Chris (I think he is the owner), I did not mean to criticize your directory. I was just wondering why PR is so off. Thanks everyone for the clarification.
Agreed, there are really 2 powerful directories. Aviva went back down to a PR6 but inner pages are WAY higher it would seem To essential directories
Agreed-- Aviva seems to be catching up with Alive. They are the most promoted Directories. But there are some other who are trying to catch up like romow and linksjuice though still quite some distance to go. I don't know if Scott will read this--but v7n seems to have got stagnant. Alive is storng PR7 so--too some others. That is why I say not to go just with PR which does not reflect the actual strength of a site as actual/up-to-date PR is never revealed by Google to stop sites from taking advantage of it. The PR we see is always two updates behind the actual PR. That is why I advocate to consider Page Stregth as well along with the PR we see.
what is actual PR for Alive Directory? exactly it is PR7 , you see on your bar is PR4 because last update Alive Directory PR4
V7N directory is the most selective directory i know. They wont include anything but quality sites, ive had a few sites rejected which deserved to be but they where accepted everywhere else including yahoo. I think that says good things about them.
