Just about to buy some links with a few directories but have a couple of questions please: 1. High PR directories right? Should the category page also be high PR since most seem to be PR0? 2. Was about to buy a link when I noticed that there were hundreds of pending submissions for this particular human edited directory! Is this normal? 3. Silly question this but what would be the best directories to submit my site to? Thanks
1. High PR directories right? Should the category page also be high PR since most seem to be PR0? Yes, the pr0 categories are on expired domains 2. Was about to buy a link when I noticed that there were hundreds of pending submissions for this particular human edited directory! Is this normal? If you submit in directory it will be approved in few hours (Paid Directory0 3. Silly question this but what would be the best directories to submit my site to? http://www.linksarena.com All PR4 categories except 1 which is PR5 .Aviva.com, Alive.com DirectoryDump.com etc Saad
Don't waste your time on the free ones even though some of those will turn out to be good and beneficial. I agree with Saad, there are a few good paid ones which you should get your site in first. That will help you gain credibility with Google. From there you can get more links. Link building is an ongoing process.
yeah you should take into the consideration that PR on the page from where you get the link. for paid submissions site will approve in short time. Those pending numbers are for free submissions. few really good. http://www.avivadirectory.com http://www.alivedirectory.com http://www.gii.in http://www.forplex.com http://ask-dir.com http://www.site-sift.com
1. Yes the higher PR, the better. Check inner page PR also. 2. It could be normal if the directory is free as I have seen many free directories with hundreds of pendings. And I haven't seen that in a paid directory. 3. Either general directory or directory of directories. Certainly not in a niche directory that is very different from yours. For example, shouldn't be in finance directory. Hope this helps.
You missed a few more.... http://www.directorydump.com http://www.ewebpages.org http://www.romow.com http://www.bigweblinks.com http://www.dirspace.com http://www.elegantdirectory.com http://www.index-it.net http://2yi.net http://www.dirsensei.com/ http://www.dirsurfer.com/ http://www.linksholder.com/ http://www.web1directory.com/ http://www.mingleon.com/ http://www.emillie.net/ http://www.trincas.org/
think if it is a paid directory with hundreds of pending submissions, it cld mean 1 of 2 things: 1. its is SO popular that the webmaster is overwhelmed with submissions, then the question to ask is why is it so popular. But i think this is more unlikely 2. the webmaster is not very proactive in maintaining the site, which means that the PR of the site may not maintain at that level for very long IMHO.... =)
Cool. Thanks for the advice and suggestions - without DP I'd be totally lost! I'd shortlisted about 6 before reading the last few posts so I'll have to do some more research now lol.
