What is AVIVA Directory? For DP Newbies!

Discussion in 'Directories' started by Blogspotter, Sep 18, 2006.

    What is this Aviva Directory? First I thought it was owned by some DP member, then i saw it in the signature of most old DP members. Didn't see affiliate or referral code on the signature either.

    What exactly is this Aviva directory?
    I know what a directory is. I mean, why is AVIVA in many signatures. Just a Newbie question.

    A heavily marketed directory

    Increase traffic. You can also see Alive Powerful Directory is in many signatures as well. Creates backlinks aswell.

    I must say that I never belived paying for directory links gives some results, but 3 weeks after listing my site www.legalforms.name in aviva directory, I saw first traffic from Google. I also get Yahoo love now.

    Ah forgot to mention Alive Directory..
    Are you doing the paid/featured listing or the free reciprocal ones. Or is it like you add ur site and give back a link from the signature?

    If you ask me I do paid listings. I also did list my site in alive directory since I saw results with aviva.
    I don't belive you can get a link for link in your sig and recip. links are also not free.

    Listing from very strong directories gives better SEO, but such a directories charge for listings, which is normal.

    What's weird though is that I've only heard of this directory since I've been here. But DP is a GREAT resource. So I believe you guys! ;)

    Hah, aviva directory gives the same results as any other directory. It is just better advertised.
    This is could be happening for a milion other reasons, as well as for submitting to aviva.

    If the main thing that it's got going for it is that it's "better advertised" then there isn't much for me... I just want the backlinks hehe. Not like people really surf thru the directory to get to me. I'm in quite a saturated category.

    Absolutely, you can spend 100 hours a week submitting to the free ones and get the same effect as spending a couple of hundred bucks on being listed in the few good ones. Time is money, spend both wisely :)
