No one is submitting to Bid Your Links

I had submitted to tons of bid directories, but recently I have to give up because google devalued the bid links

 

Do you have a link to that article?

 

What do you mean? As far as I know, there no such position by Google. A bid directory should not be any different than any other directory. The only difference is the method used to sort the listings. That would be like saying that directories alphabetical sorted are devalued.

 

so there is no value in traffic or ppl seeing your link somewhere else?link buying and submitting means more to me than just pr..its also having your name out there as a player in the field

 

Definitely. Some of the bid directories are working as much on traffic as PR, if not more.

 

Just a thought, but is it possible that the "bid-for-links" directories are a fad that will prove to have a quick birth and a quick death?

Realistically, what real, substantial value do they offer other than passing PR to the submitter?

 

if the owner of the site promotes it hard,then it can prove to be a great asset to have your link in the site.regardless of the pr issue,if i have 2k BL pointing to my site,and get a few hundred to a thousand uniques a day,then isnt that worth a dollar or two to have your site listed?

 

I think they are the same as any other directory. The ones that are well-managed, promoted, etc. will be successful. Many will not. One of the big benefits of bid directories compared to other types is the homepage and top links placements, which tend to yield that much more traffic and link value.

 

see,thats how i see it as well..sites that get promoted well and stay on top of the new mods and stuff will be a great benefit to the industry

 

Exactly and we know your promoting means 365/24/7 sustainable

 

Very likely true. However, for the little-guy "man on the street" like most of us, the likelihood of a home page link is between slim and none.

I jumped into a few bid directories early on. I'm going to watch it for a while and see what comes of it. My gut feeling is, per my first post here, that bid directories will be a short-lived fad.

 

This can happen if a bad rumor spreads and those directories get reported to G.

But as far as G and its algo concern, well maintained bidding directories should do fine.

I think 99% of the bidding directories are new. People will start submitting to them once PR is achived. I'm just being patient now till get PR5 in the next update

 

One problem to keep in mind is that some, not necessarily all, bidding directories have nice PR on the home page and the first page of each letter category, but zero PR on the second and later pages. Once you are outbid and bumped down to the second or later pages, you will be getting zero PR benefit.

Some directory owners are working to correct this. But in those directories that don't fix this, as the directories grow, you will either have to keep bidding to stay on the first pages, or you will basically fall out of sight (and out of PR).

Bid directory owners, please correct my thinking if I am in error on this. But is it not usually true that in the typical bid directory the good PR is only on the home page and the first pages of each letter?

 

http://www.dollarlinking.com/ dropped from pr5 to pr0 although it has more than 2k backlinks

 

Yea, I'm not sure what happened there. I imagine the site was doing something it was not suppose to be. You can't say bid directories are penalized just because something happened with one site, though. Again, that would be like saying all blogs are penalized because one blog went to PR0.

 

I have to agree with mystik, it does look like they have been penalized for something. All I am getting from the toolbar is greybar for the whole site.

I know Google is showing a grey bar for pages which it doesn't have any information for, but they still have a cache of the homepage.

But then again, it could mean nothing at all, what with the recent PR update they could still be tinkering, it took them two weeks last time and they made more changes, this could just be that.

 

congrt bukan, the submitter are coming!

 

Well, I offer PR5 on home page, PR4 on top donors page, PR4 on latest donations page, PR2 on categories and webmasters can submit their website details also with their RSS feed.

Also all money will be spend only on improving our planet health which is important for our future.

And all this from $0.50.

So the webmasters can promote their products for a very low price knowing that they also help protect our environment.

Give them a good reason to submit and both sides will be happy.

 

if you submit and pay to get in directories that offer deeplinking like i have,and use deeplinking for your inner pages,they should get a little juice eh?

 

I submitted one url to help you out..Good Luck!
