Problems solved with Rob's help!! Just 10 secs was all he need!! heahehaeh.. He was brilliant!! Fab!!! So i changed the featured link font and colors, define submission period according to price, got the statistics right. Anything else you guys can think of? What really is short of are your free links i guess. ehaehhaehae..
Trying to figure out why some of your listings are nofollowed, I started to submit a few until I noticed that one of our existing listings is nofollowed. You might also want to rebuild your category cache.
Hi CReed, What will rebuild category cache do? At the same time, i dun quite get your nofollow description... tell me which links are no followed.
http://www.add-url-directory.com/detail/link-2097.html the category row is empty,right? rebuild the category cache and refresh the page,you'll notice the changes
Here's a tutorial for rebuilding your category cache: http://forums.digitalpoint.com/showthread.php?t=175149 And a few of your lsitings have the nofollow attribute. For example http://www.add-url-directory.com/Health/Health-Directories/ The listing for eHealthSites Health Directory is nofollowed
Oh yea thanks Richie. My apologies, i do not know why is that happening. Will a free link make you feel better?

No apology needed. Removing the nofollow attribute would make me feel better. Thanks for the generous offer. Will submit shortly.
I learnt it all from you Rob... Kindness and generosity... And morever, its Easter!! Approved your submission already.. Hope you like it.
Gracias. I submitted Dirsensei and it is a very generous offer from your side. Good Luck and More Power to Your Directory. Thanks
I think the color scheme and layout are good. Visually, the site is very appealing. Also, your URL structure is very good, which should lead to easy crawling for spiders. I think the directory is a bit light on inbound links and could really use a few *.edu and/or *.gov BLs. If you look at the most successful directories they tend to have a good handful of these. Also, I think you could use a lot of additional categories. Before I purchase a link, I always check the page that my site would be located on. If the directory is very vertical (lots of listings in a small number of categories) I usually move on. A very horizontal structure is one with a large number of categories no more than 2 clicks from home with a small number of listings per category. Those are the ones I like. /*tom*/
Hi Tom, your points are valid, and i will definitely look into that. But I m not too sure if edu and gov will be that much of help in the future, to be honest. edu and gov backlinks used to have a very high weight on PR and backlink strength, they maybe still are, but to my knowledge, they are not as "authority" as they were in years b4 2006. Authority sites now can be just a .com site with lots of backlinks and "expert" in their subject matters. Why i am saying that is becos i have sites that outranks my competitors in certain keywords phrases in google, that keyword phrases are what we both are targetting and done SEO on, and this competitor is actually a big player with probably 10-100 employees versus me, one-man operation. And this site has got like 10 edu and gov links, with 2 dmoz listings and 12 wikipedia listings. Got a page strength of 5 according to Seomoz.org while i got 0 edu and gov links, 0 dmoz, and just 1 wikipedia link and a PS of 3. Guess what, i was still ranked higher in the SERPs for a few keywords.. why??? relevancy i guess and some nice SEO that my competitor is not doing... ehahehaehaeh... top secret!! I dunno about you but maybe we can ask the rest of the directories owners if they see edu and gov links as important as you think are.. I shall post that question on the forum in a while.. Maybe you can also share yout thought on that.. I appreciate your feedback though, hence will honor you with a free link.. submit and pm me.. Thanks Tom. No problem Jude, and definitely will get more power to Add-Url-Directory. I will make sure your link at our dir will be shine. No problem CReed. Hey Rob... he meant well, besides its good to hear from a submitter 's point of view..
