After reading this discussion Rand and the Quick Buck Crew i am just confused why the awesome Page strength of Aviva 7.5 went down to 0.5 Is Rand really angry with jeff's post and has manually reduced the page strength to 0.5? Iam sure Jeff has got seomoz a lot of traffic, advertising for his tool, backlinks and branding from the strongest directories list Though i support both rand & jeff from both the sides which you can read from my comment at aviva blog
He is definitely biased! My site www.jeffbrowninc.com jumped from 2.5 to 3.5 While Aviva is down to 0.5? How could this happen? I have decided to come out with my new PD tool to end this PS! How mmany customers they can dupe?
Lol --Joke of the year 2007 How can Rand be so Childish and hot-headed? (if he really banned Aviva as I told ya -that he did) Aviva has been the pioneering force to popularise the tool --more than ever Rand could have promotted it. And if he did really ban Aviva (not a single data being pulled) --then I see no person in my memory online who could be that ungrateful
The PS tool has not worked smoothly after the new version released. It is not strange to show .5 for aviva, as it shows 1 to me for my directory, in fact it is 5.5
I'm sure that it's just a problem with the tool - it's no big deal. In a couple of days, everything will be fine again.
how about we ban seomoz ??? and not use it ... i bet if he really ban aviva ... jeff will go on and get his own tool which actually works... i will visit aviva's website 18 times a day rather than 10 times a day
It's just problems with the tool, I have tested a number of sites and they are all over the place with various data missing.
But I have waited couple of months to update my phpld list. At last I have to give it up, find a new way to sort.
gather the specification which would constitute a websites' strength and let me know. you can always get some good stats here: http://www.directorydump.com/bls.php There just isn't any 'algo' to decipher a websites strength, but once one is added, at least a consistent stream of data/info can always be grabbed.
Agreed its all facter included though it will be tough with any new data but like anything its a move forward in the right directiron.. thx malcolm

You know what I DO find funny? Say if seomoz DID ban aviva... well, for humor's sake, even being banned produces a .05 PS ... E.G. the tool still isn't working properly even on a banned site hahaha ok.. i have work to do. see ya guys later
lol rob go work ... u joke too much lmao ... so its never really 0 ... and aviva is so strong it passed the ban and got a 0.5
I have been using that tool you mentioned for the last few weeks now. Don't know who coded it(hahaha -kiddin) -- its quick --gives me all the data/info that I require before buying a link (this tool helps me determine about QBCs as their PR5/6 domains often do not show any data and they come claiming my site is this and that). Excellent tool --Rob--never fails me about any site. Now make your own metric by summing up those data.
It’s a “Las Vegas†style Page Strength we can even make bets. And looks like the Quick Buck Crew site as outranked Aviva with PS 2 with only 14 days of life , just mobody hit the refresh! please LOL
The real point is iam sure aviva delivers the highest traffic to this page strength tool, so may be they can have some different option like pay some xx$/lifetime/domain name for giving it a real time update option (or) a lower fees just for this tool so everyone would love to use it and make the seomoz gain more traffic too.
I think you are very near and have captured all the factors. You just need an algorithm that will calculate certain index # on a scale of 10. Let us know, if you want any help in developing the algo.
Well for starters the pagestrenght to is a shame and I would be willing to bet that 97% of the people that use that toole are either directory owners or someone wanting to know the strength of a directory. Someone on this forum own's a site called directorystrength but I am sure they do not want to give it up. It has always been my opion that the factors that should be included in order to determine the strength of a directory should be the following: 1: Age of domain 2: Yahoo backlinks 3: Google backlinks 4: Page Rank 5: Domain name visibility (often over looked by many) 6: Yahoo Directory Listings (only because google recommends that you get listed there) 7: DMOZ Listings (same reason as above) I think these are the most important factors, everything else such as .edu, .gov, alexa, wikipedia and technorati links are just a waste of resources and too easy to manipulate. I guess one could argue a dmoz listing but either way it is still alot harder to get one and therefore should be included. If you can put together a tool that pulls the above data and then grant a score it would be a soild and more accurate resource.
heheheh @an0n ... hadnt checked in a bit looks good http://www.directorydump.com/bls.php @amitpatal_3001 ... i agree that its still a nice tool and belive that thiers always ways around things issues like reducing the fee involved to were all can afford to know whats going on with thier sites and make a reasonable guess at where they stand.. or even maybe an affilaite method were they offer the tool at lower cost or somthing thx malcolm
