Directory owners paid links marketplace open

    Over the weekend i finished my new site, which is a marketplace for permanent paid links.

    The marketplace is primary intended for directory owners who like to increase their paid link sales. You can add your directories here anonym into several categories, add your own prices and set conditions for your links (no adult, gambling, pharma or whatever you like).

    People, interested in buying permanent links can then browse the marketplace by page rank, price or by topic and order them directly from here.

    The directory owner then will be notified about the link puchase, can setup the link and send the buyer a confirmation email.

    The advantage for the buyer is, that he does not need to go to each directory and submit his link details. With only a few clicks he is able to buy links in several directories at once.

    Directory owners who like to add their directories can drop me a pm here with a list of their directories and i will check them quickly, as there are some conditions to get listed.

    Here are some of them:

    - Only permanent links without time limit will get listed
    - Purchased links may not "move" from one page to another (this happens e.g. with the standard esyndicat configuration, newest links at the top)
    - Link prices must be the same or a bit lower than on your submission page
    - For each directory you must list the categories separately,
    e.g. links for yourdirectory.com/business/ into the business category
    e.g. yourdirectory.com/shopping/ into the shopping category, etc.

    Further i will accept only serious directory owners with established directories who are interested in a long term partnership.

    Listing on the marketplace is absolutely free, only with each link purchase there is a 25% comission.

    The marketplace

    Google is not going to like that site imo - "buy and sell one way permanent text link ads" in big and bold.

    All they need to do is see the directories listed there and start dishing out the penalties.... This site is not good for the directory industry.

    Good luck with it though ;)

    Swedal is right! Wait till google finds you and see that "bulk" penalties that he will spread among directories listed in your site...

    First: directories are not listed with url.

    Second: google don´t need any site to find a directory which is selling links, near each directory is selling links, so thats not a big secret.

    First - I did see that the urls are supposedly hidden for directories. Maybe they are.

    I also read Matt Cutts blog and have seen him demonstrate how easy it is to detect the supposedly "undetectable" text link ads and contextual links.

    It is not quite the same thing, but if the directory links are there in any way the google bots can probably find them.

    Second - All the directory industry needs is a site that lists a bunch of "generic web directories" in it with banners all over saying links for sale. :rolleyes:

    Not all directories are link sellers. This marketplace where even the domain says buynselltextlinks.com/store is a black eye and an insult to legitimate directories. It just gives search engines one more reason to make it harder for the industry.

    The point is that this marketplace damages the industry even if you actually can protect the identity of the directories listed. Your site is falsly affirming that directories are paid links. It gives search engines a site to hold up and say see - look at this.

    This would be an easy way for Google to find the link sellers. Google could open up their own link marketplace and see who signs up.

    Sorry I want no part of your "links for sale" site. Wish you the best, but that is my feelings on your site.

    Those lists are public since a long time. So all lists like Dans paid directory list, Directory critics paid directory lists and some other thousand directories which list paid directories, all of them are damaging the directory industrie ?

    By the way you self are listing them in your directory, so whats the problem ?

    A fee for a review and a paid link are two entirely different things.
