Is there a risk from too much interlinknig among directories

Discussion in 'Directories' started by billybw, Jul 2, 2007.

    I noticed that many directories interlink with each other either through ads or listings.

    Is there a danger that the Google algo could mis-interpret this as a "link exchange network" and devalue all of these links, or even penalize the sites?

    also, many of these links are reciprocated, which could devalue them anyway

    Is there a danger of two much mutual interlinking?

    i dont think so. interlinking is to grab buyers aswell. you buy a link on 1 site and spot the link, so go buy another from there too:)

    I agree with Rob on this one.
    You can definitely go too far with too many links (especially if they are located on the homepage)

    too much interlinking ad too many categories will get you rocked!.

    I made a directory with over 2.635 million categories. google banned it.

    I showed mystik what the serps were showing. 2,8000,000 indexed pages
    and even he nearly shit himself. The domain was later on banned though.

    It didnt matter to me though, as my testing phase on that was complete, and i took the knowledge i had gained form it and have been able to implemented it elsewhere, and extremely restrictive guidelines(my own) so as to not let it happen again.

    oh, and here is the site that is still standing. (wonder why david can say phpLD supports over 2,000,000 categories? yea, I'm sure you do now. I've done too much free shit for this script.)
    www.fsbohomerealestate.com

    my www.realestatecitysearch.com got it from google last month. google is a playa hater! but always too slow! :evil grin:

    I give/gave links for free. I don't QBC. :)

    Here, goto www.bigweblinks.com and see which category ranks the highest on PR ;)
    (hint: http://www.bigweblinks.com/Real-Estate/ hahaha )

    Hell, i even tried to make my www.linkdirectory.ws (pr 6) a reciprocal only web directory, and people fk'd that up too.

    Lol--maan
    You are advising someone to become QBC who has been fighting them all his life:rolleyes:

    You know Rob will do no such things.

    By the way --do your know he has some other very high PR directories except Directory Dump Web Directory and Bidding Web Directory ?

    He owns some other PR6 and 5 directories:cool:

    Agree, I won't link to any directories unless it is a normal directory review.

    of course he has more. why stop at 2

    and i was joking about the QBC. i post here every day with him, and am well aware of that. thats why i wrote a :D and rofl :p

    i heard about the reciprocal.

    why point out the real estate category? its PR6 and the rest are PR5. anything special about that? am i missing something???

    Mike :)

    Read what I wrote. He was linked, for free(hence me saying' i give/gave/ free links, i do) of course, and look at the resulting PR :)

    I try to give back just in general. I'm not a greedy person. I don't claim I'm the best, I just do what I do, and try to help others along, ya know. ;)

    Just sad when people ruin it for everyone, and you're trying to help out. Everyone else around her would immediately try to charge 25-35 for sitewides if they had a PR6 to spare, but not me, and still, people will call me arrogant? lol oooook

    I get it :D so you deep linked to his real estate category. That was nice of you.

    Plus you both make each other very rich with your intensive spending on each others bidding directories.

    By the way rob, WHEN (not if :D) i win the lottery, i will bid $10,000 on big web links, see if you rise to the challenge then :p can you afford to match the power of zorg hehe

    Well, I am already 1/5 of the way there, and if Big Web Links becomes an authority and a PR 9, prepare to spend your lottery winnings!

    If i went to the bank and asked for a £10,000 loan, with the option to spend $10k on promoting my bidding directory and $10k on showing rob who is boss, i wonder if they would accept it.

    I'm pretty sure a would hit the front page on all social bookmark sites, gain mega backlinks and traffic, make shed loads of sales, paid the bank back within a few week, and taught Rob how to spend wisely :D

    You know, when I bid on it, Chris was even surprised.

    Doesn't matter to me though. I am here to stay, and I will promote with all I have. My haters and the QBC's who cry foul against me can suck it.

    :)

    A lot. I even have people sending PMs to other members talking crap. Somebody call the waaaahhhhhmbulance!

    Example:

    This was the MOST hypocritical post as of lately.
    http://forums.digitalpoint.com/showpost.php?p=3629358&postcount=35

    Congratulate me?... maybe he should stop talking sh*t about me via PMs, instead of being two-faced.

    hahaha, people truly think I don't know. ahhh well. sux 2 b them, i guess.

    w/e
