Hi Guys, i am running a career site with PR7 and good traffic. I would like to buy 40 directory links from top direectories like 1. sbd.bcentral.com 2. dir.yahoo.com 3. joeant.com 4. avivadirectory.com 5. alivedirectory.com 6. incrawler.com..... 40............................ Tell me is there any negative impact if i buy links from top 40 web directories as google is penalizing paid links ?
There appears to be have been no negative impact in the last G update although some PR7 directories relaxed a point to PR6 but the directory market is still very robust and as you know excellent for getting indexed pages in the SE's, while at the same time providing strong back links
Paid listings work great. I have a paid listing campaign which gets an automatic PR5 every time and dozens of relevaent trustworthy keyword link. It a great method for those client who can afford the investment, both initial and on going. BTW Microsoft small business directory is changing this month and you can not submit to it at this time, I am hoping they will continue to allow several keyword links for a low price
It will definitly not hurt you. You might gain a higher PR although I doubt it since you have a very high PR already. You might also get more traffic from these directories although it might not account much for the % of traffic you get. You could also get a link from this Premium Web Directory.
