about the submission to the directory, does anyone here knows the different between the free links submission and paid link or featured link submission (which is charged certain amount of fees)? I mean in the aspect of SEO of course... let say If I submitted my URL to a web directory, usually there are options of featured, regular, free and free with reciprocal links. If I choose featured link which cost of $5 for unlimited length of time, or I choose regular links which cost $1 for unlimited length of time but the link would be in the second depth of the directory, what would be the difference in the SEO perspective, or let's just say in the google's perspective? thanks.
Firstly thanks for the list... Now the answer of your question is that never opt to go for the paid directories as nowadays Google is penalizing all these types of Directories and Websites which are placed in them as per the Google Quality Guidelines you can study them at google.com/support/webmasters/bin/answer.py?answer=66356 And google.com/support/webmasters/bin/answer.py?answer=66736 Now you must have got the answer as buying and selling should be avoided as can harm any site avoiding the Google Rules.
^so.. I think I just stay as natural as I could in building backlinks right?... ok then.. I'll try my best doing that .. indeed google really "hates" everything entitled "paid something" ... however, I once read on a blog that in the end, every online marketer would not going too far from money, and even google himself advises any website to use what so called adwords. And he really has the power to make that kind of policy... just my 2 cents.
You are absolutely right it's really to be on a safer side. As you said above Google himself advises websites to place adds it's right but Google only penalize the sites which pay to alter the search results by buying links and not for those where you are placing your advertisement with nofollow attribute.. of Anchor tag.
yeah.. guess I have to lurk around DP in the next few months to fill my head with various SEO stuffs.. Thanks Amits, I think it's enough for me at the moment, I'll come back again later at night (here, in my place, is still noon at the moment)
does google penalise paid links only? what about the free directory submissions? how google can tell the deference between paid and not paid? this is really interesting, because yahoo has a paid directory listing. costs something like $300 +/ year. and i have notice that google will trust your site, once it find your link in yahoo business directory. also, what about yellow pages, they are a paid directory too!! any way, i get a headic everytime i read about link exchanges and paid links, etc. so i just don't bother with it. great list though
Do you care to explain what do you mean? Article directories give food to ezines and ezines are sent to millions of people every day. How can that be classified as "don't work"?
Great tips. Commenting on Blogs is an excellent one especially if you have 15 mins a day. Most importantly, you can build a relationship with the blogger, and people always link out to their friends!
