Directory special - Please Read

Lift time listing at index-it.net for only $10. Look guys I have tried everything to gain your support, so I am making this offer as a final attempt. I have more $5,000 invested into this directory. We went from pr 0 to 5 on the last update, although not recorded yet there are more than 300 pr 5 google backlinks now pointing at this site, as well as 3 pr7's and about 12 pr 6's and countless pr4's plus adding more as we find them. These backlinks missed the last update by a week or so.

The page rank of this directory will go beyound a 6, signing up will only help your site that is why we built it. Does it still need work sure it does, which is why we added some new categories for you. I can not speak for other directories but we are in this for the long run and will only get better as time goes on.


Do not wait to see what our next pr is going to be before you sign up. This $10 special will not stay this way.


If nothing else at lest post a comment as to why you would not sign up.

Just because you do not see us in every directory on the planet it does not mean we are no good. We just have a different style.

go to this page to sign up: http://www.index-it.net/special-offer.html

It's only $10 bucks.

 

Looking for feed back

 

8 views no feed back. You guys are tough.

 

I noticed something curious in the directory. There are links for 46 pages without content in the contractors section. Why would you set them up today instead of waiting for submissions to create new pages?

You should spend some time and make more categories.

 

The purpose of this is get those pages indexed ahead of time and to pass pr off to those pages as well, this way when someone comes to the directory a pr 3,4,5,6 whatever it may be will already be waiting for them.

 

I respect that reply. In order to get back to the first page all you need to do is click on the link that says at this time fourms (thanks for pointing that out I fix it right now).

Not sure what you mean when you say you cant see the submisson order. But I'll say this, I do not favor any site over the next it is first come first serve, which why there is no feature listing.

As far as how much has been spent, again just because we are not listed in every directory out there does not mean that money has not been spent. When buying links for this site we buy them for months at a time and sometimes years and it is not cheap to do that. This so that we do not loose the links, which why a lot of sites have lost their pr, I want to make sure that does not happen, because if we loose pr then so does those have signed up.

any other questions.

 

But you're still charing $20.00 USD for each year. Are you kidding? I gave up payment when it showed such an amount.

Oops, I'm so sorry. Didn't notice the page at special-offer.html

 

I'm reluctant to submit regardless of PR or cost as I feel the directory is likely to end up with most of its pages in the Supplemental index by having all of those duplicate pages. I find little value in having a listing on a page that is in the Supplemental index.

Having 46 pages for each category ready and waiting is a bit over optimistic. Are you really expecting to receive that many submissions in categories such a Children's Health or Pet Products?

I don't agree with your idea that just having different title tags and hr tags(?) as well as alt tags to say something different makes duplication a non-issue and a viable method. I'm not seeing any difference other than the page number in the titles. Your description and keywords tags are the same for each category page.

I'd hate to see you find out differently with your investment into this project.

I'd quit worrying about PR so much - wasn't it you that commented about the flood of submissions directories with little or no PR are receiving compared to yours?

 

I understand your point. I've been doing seo for years and I can tell you that this tatic works, all of these pages have been indexed and cached by google with the expection of a few. Duplicate content only applies to pages that are 100% duplicate. I see dozens of sites that have backlinks from duplicate title tags and keywords, this is really not an issue, if I really wanted to I could just go in and put one link on each of those pages just to make sure, but why it does'nt matter anyway.

And from what I can see the only reason that other directories are getting more submissions is because it is free, and no can compete with that. If I made this directory free I would get 100's of submissions a day and no one would complain about it. But lets face it, every one wants everything for free, but true success comes at a price, mainly on the internet.

 

I guess all there really is for me to add to this is to wish you luck with promoting your directory project.

 

Thanks Dragonguy. Your site has been added to the directory. View your listing here: http://www.index-it.net/electronics/electronics.html

Thanks again.

 

I know alot of work went into that directory. I have also seen some good links pointing in while surfing around.... The only thing is that I agree with the possibility of the empty indexed pages getting dumped sometime soon....

I was also wondering about that when I first saw it and figured it was for PR...

 

Those pages that are empty have been indexed for awhile and show no sign of dropping. And although the site does foucus alot on pr that is not it's only purpose.

Have you check your backlinks lately. Go to page 6 of your backlinks and you will find a link to your site from this page http://www.index-it.net/online-business/online-business.html for longislandexchange, verify here: http://www.google.com/search?q=link...=&rls=GGLG,GGLG:2006-23,GGLG:en&start=50&sa=N

 

There is no question to me that the site itself is good, I was only commenting on the concept of the empty pages..... I have noticed the backlinks and I remember finding your site some time ago and forget what it was but there was something I did like about it, just those empty pages are not ethical....

You always have to build a site expecting it to be looked at by Google, in the event that it ever does.. If you think of why you created the empty pages, does it make good sence? What would google think if they looked at it? What do you think they would think the empty pages were there for?

That is how I tend to think of things.

 

You have made a good point. So I will reveal this, the true purpose of all those pages is produce backlinks within the site. As long as some form of backlinks point to these pages then everything is fine and again helping avoid the duplicate content, I have over 1,000 pages indexed and cached by Google in this site.

here is an example of a page that is empty and has been empty for awhile yet has good page rank and backlinks http://www.incrawler.com/dir/Kids_and_Teens/ the only information on this page is internal links to other pages.

As I said I've been doing seo for awhile, I would not be doing it this way if I thought it would not work. True this is my first directory, and I am confident in what I am doing, I do not have money to burn, I will only invest if I think that I can benifit from it.

Honestly I think some people just really do not understand what I am trying to do which why I am explaining this. A listing in this directory will benifit those that sign up. But I quess if it is not free then it is no good. I'm just like every one else here, I'm trying to make a living as well, and will do what ever it takes to make that happen. I just thought dp would be a little more supportative. After all I'm only trying to help other sites as well as myself.

Maybe I should just build a directory run off phplb script or what ever you call it then maybe people would think I was the truth.

 

There is nothing wrong with your directory, I just don't pay for any directories. I am cheap.

I will make one comment, I don't care for the slight fade in/out function on your site. It slows navigation down too much. It is not the worst fading I have ever seen, but it is just a pet peeve of mine. Anyway, best of luck with it, I hope you do well.

 

One comment I would add is the Google search form doesn't look very professional. Just my 2 cents. Best of luck with your directory.

 

I've been meaning to remove that, just have not gotten around to it yet.

 

I think the site looks nice, the fading is a bit much especially for the crowd you are looking to attract (webmasters).

The reason you are having trouble getting links is value, your directory is simply too expensive for what it is currently offering. When it hits PR6 or 7 you will get more submissions.

good luck
