hi guys i have been working on seo projects from three months i was given a link building task so first i start directories submission although most of the free directories axepted my submission on the very first month but only 2 out of aproximatly 500 those who have indexed me ,apeare as back links. i still don,t understand how could this be happen?
It depends... Nowadays there are just *too* many directories around and some of them don't even have any ranking yet. Similar like websites, not all pages on the sub-directories were indexed if let's say SEO is not done properly so that's why your submitted url won't appear as backlink.
Yes, Google will not consider backlinks from the directories which contains a lot of links... Submit your website to directories which has very few links...
Google is never going to consider link from a directory which has a lot of links. Google is that much dumb as we think it is.
A year ago I added to a lot of directories, most of which had a great deal of links. I knew then that the value of directories back links would be iffy. Sure enough the vast majority don't show up and while I am not certain I would say that directory submission has to be done with a jaundiced eye, carefully and not without doing all the other link building options that offer greater back linking potential.
LMAO at the jaundice eye. Well for one, directories still are powerful enough to show up as backlinks to you in the webmaster tools. it's just the public Google doesn't show them out much too often. Go to Yahoo and page 6-10 of your inlinks or incoming links; if you've done directory submissions from the past will all be directory entries
i disagree. Google consider every directory link as backlink but they reduce their value in their algo for directory.
I Disagree ..... Google do not consider every directory link as back link ..... Especially if it is from any kind of link spam
way over half the directorys ive seen out there arent even fully indexed by google, id search and see if the actuall page your link will be on is even indexed in google before submitting to it..
Well it is a backlink...but google only show important once of the one who got a PR.....u can see all the links in yahoo
This is true, even some Yahoo sub catergories are not indexed. I recently went on a directory frenzy. After a couple of months only around 20% are showing in webmaster tools.
google consider the link directory as backlink but only if the directory page where you put the link is google indexed...
I was pretty careful submitting my sites to indexed directories with a nice pr , but then not all of them count! no idea how google decides which link to accept and which to deny ..
