Although your 'dream' may be destroyed, I just wanted to ask you *why* have you removed the credits to the designer and sponsor of this template? Would it be safe to say 'what comes around goes around'? naughty naughty!
My directory (opendirectorio.com) has dropped from pr4 to pr3 after the google update, I think the cause we I had too many outgoing links on the main page. (pay attention to this), interesting I have the same traffic coming from google. Hey friend, keep working on the good SEO and you'll see the results.
I am very happy to reading your posts.Thanks for the time and effort.I make a general reply, if something overlooked, please forgive me my dear friends. Thanks my friend, you'r ok.I hope i really do this again. thanks my friend.First of all i like your blog and directory, and read your mods on phpld.you are really good.And thanks again.When i search free directory my site comes 7. on your site's tool.I became really happy.Make a search and aCotm.com is on 13. on google.(12. with "free directory")This is really good i think.I spend lots of my time and now see this. Thanks my friend.this is a different thing.It is a dream, a want, a gift for me.I do not know why but really want a pr5.I look up some dropped pr5 domains but it is really different.Think that you have a baby and you grow up her to 5 years old.Funny i know.) I hope to pick up again. Penalize.Yes, i think this is the point i have.I hate this. Thanks Robert.I am really happy for you.I hope i can reach a pr5 too.I really want and spend time for this. I think so.Google changed something on algoritm.I dont believe prays but i we can try it also.) Hyper yes, google is not the One but it is really big.Lots of people come from there and buy featured link via your pagerank. I like "cnn Search is bigger than msn" , agree my friend. Thanks for your long reply, helpful my friend.You are right.Always quality wins.But i am not a really really good webmaster i know.My site is an ordinary directory.I spend time, get backlinks, my own mods and some design from me.But i know "this is not the best directory" .I really love it, and want a pr5 for making my dream real.Yes, i want some money, i want to earn money but the main issue is, i love this baby.One day, i hope i can make more quality sites and do not worry about google pr. You are right and good idea.But i spent lots of time and now see a pr0 site.It is really bad.Also, yes i am working on some other projects.
I do not delete links! I buy this from a Turkish webmaster with money.(and i make a website for him) . I search this and pm you again.I hate link deleters and do not need this.Also, this is a directory, i have 10.000 out going links, why i delete 1/2 links? This is really comic.But i look up for this. You are right but , before writing 'what comes around goes around'? you can pm me for this.I am a good man my friend.If i were bad, i believe i reach pr6/pr5 but i do not prefer this. thanks for reply.
Malatya since you have asked, here is my advice which may or may not help you. Where you have gone wrong is caring more about Google than the visitors to your site. Quit worrying so much about your pr and how google is being unfair and squashing your dreams. Life is unfair so just focus on building a site worthy of the traffic you want. You can only control what goes on in house. You can't control Google and they will do what they want to do. Oh and pr predictors are a joke and should only be used if you understand it is for humor. I hope this helps you....
I try this after your post, thanks again phpld guru. Thanks for your long reply.Yes, you are right my friend, totally right.When i am reading this replies i became more happy, thanks all my friends. I had 2 plans.First reach pr5 because i really love this.The Second thing is I was planing to sell some featured links and make some money.Also this not all about money.I give lots of years to Internet and i have to make some money.This is not a must, i know and i enjoy my job but if you earn some bucks with you creation then you feel you upgrade yourself. Now, i am more hopeful even i started this topic.Thanks my friends, i love the net because it gives you wonderful friends
I'd like offer an apology for my response. I too am just like you with regards to those who modify designer's links. So in all, I wish you to a speedy recovery. Rob
Dang maaaaan, stop giving away trade secrets, next thing we know, we'll have a farm of "niche directories" in Solicitations and Announcements
We already do! Hahaha. However, yes, I agree - ssshhh Niche directories are on the increase, though. Not much any niche directory owner can do to stop this now.
maybe you can learn something that happened to Aviva directory. (they were different coz they were deindexed and lower the PR as well.) google for their blog that said how could they come back to the business. maybe that would help your directory. wish you best luck. and come back to tell me if their methods are useful. here http://www.avivadirectory.com/downloadblog/?p=338 and here http://www.bidilicious.com/blog/2008/02/26/aviva-directory-a-little-premature/
Thanks my dear friend.I read them now, and helpful.Bu i am careful about most of them.Still can understand google.The main reason is my site is a "directory" ,i think . Anyway, google gives me a pr2 with this update.) What a wonderful gift.
