Any one who have a new site is disappointed in the early days to see that stats indicate that you are the only visitor to your site. Directories listing is one way of increasing visitors to your site, this have two major advantages first by direct visitors and secondly by increase in pagerank. therefore its very important to know first the pagerank of a directory before even thinking either its free or paid. For those who dont know how to check the page rank , you can download google tool bar and choose pagerank from the advance items. My site also have a list of directories i think could be of importance. http://seojiffy.com
Cheers and thanks for the list Man. its really useful and comprehensive one hope i will use it to submit some of my blogs and get higher arnking in search engines too.
I disagree strongly. More important IMO is whether the directory looks like something serious (good cat structure, editorial control, template, etc.) or "QBC". I'm happy to submit to a PR0 directory if it looks like the owner has taken the time to build something quality and will be promoting/developing it over time. Those don't stay PR0 very long.
If this is aimed specifically at directory marketing thats total crap - a new web directory can generate hundreds even thousands of uniques within a few days! Directory listings on a whole (although i agree in some cases they can increase traffic) don't increase traffic, they do however increase PR and SERPs. X number of directories that are already (in some way important). Stating that DMOZ is apparently important is pretty obvious... this ulimately feels like a post to attract people to your website and then click on your google ad to download the google toolbar and hence make you money...
Here's an even more useful and comprehensive one http://www.avivadirectory.com/strongest-directories/
Your list is small Any one way link counts so submiting to 500 free webdirectorys bringing 400 one way links is a good ideea Plus Dmoz is sheet accepts very hard sites
Buy some well placed feature links to improve your PR and maybe get a bit of traffic. Submitting to free directories can help you with keyword in your serps but it is almost impossible to get on a page with PR in most free directories.
A free PR0 directory today can be a paid PR 5 directory in the next months or year. So it is always a good idea to submit your site to new directories IMO.
- By the time it is a PR5 paid directory all or most of the free listings will be gone or on the 14 page of listings.
That just looks like a scraper site to me, at least get it to work on all browsers. And 18 directories, that the best you got?
will i increase my page rank if i submit to all these sites? what if i ask for links from guys without even 1 page rank? will it help?
I don't know more about directory. I am confused about this. Your post may some helpful for me. But I want to know more.
