It is for example. DirectoryDump <--- would be the title for a regular listing 'in-directory' DirectoryDump Web Directory Resource <-- would be acceptable for 'in-directory' as a featured listing. Now, because not everyone's budget can accommodate for a feature listing, so, what I have done it allow alternative anchor on the details page. What this means is if you would like your desired anchor, you may submit that for any listing to be shown on the details page Do while 'in-directory' you would see DirectoryDump, on the details you would be allowed to use DirectoryDump Web Directory Resource. Follow?
I have three directories accepting free link submissions: suggest-link.us add-link.us linkdirectory.org.in You are welcome to submit here. It is free to submit to the sites. Regards, Daniel
I accept any anchor text, as long as it complies with guidelines. that way the details page will have more related text = more SE traffic.
That's the only way to have the listing continue to make sense to a visitor. Otherwise you get listings like "keyword, keyword, keyword", followed by "keyword, blah, keyword", all the way down the category page. And there's no indication of where the link will lead to, so it looks a mess. What isn't so clear is why linking using the title should be set in stone. Anchor text could be taken from the description, or as a set of keywords under the title, etc. Although it makes sense to link with the title, it isn't the only way that could look right.
1.I'm pretty sure that no one expects too many visitors from dirs. 2.I don't think a dir owner will accept an unrelated title. Many domain names have nothing in common with the site(yahoo, google, etc) 3.I, for example, submit to directories more for serps and less for PR. Isn't an anchor text going to help a lot with that? It helped me..
People do use directories, you may think this is stretching credulity, but it's true. It's especially true of niche directories. As for unrelated titles, some do, most don't. The problem isn't that the titles people submit are unrelated to their website, it's that a string of keywords doesn't explain the brand or site title that distinguishes one website from another. When there are 80 different mobile phone ringtones websites in a category, you need some way to indicate which is which.
Yeah, that's true, too, for the ringtone websites at least. But, for example, I list my website under home & garden; now, let's say it doesn't have "sinks" in the url; there are many kinds of websites under h&g(blinds, cabinets etc); I think it would be easier for the person searching for sinks if the title is "kitchen sinks"; and, of course, easier for me to get traffic "When there are 80 different mobile phone ringtones websites in a category, you need some way to indicate which is which." I don't thik this matters for somebody looking for ringtones. It's like searching in Google.
You can have a keyword rich title and the deep links can be the same at Overdrive Directory if you pay for a submission as long as it is not spammed with crap keywords, like some people always try.
You can have your title different than the domain at all my directories plus deeplinks LinksDirec UPYG.com LinkDirec
