I submitted my web to BOTW, EZILON, Business.com and so on

two weeks ago, all directories have been accepted my link and I can see it there.
However, when I check my own backs from Google ( I use a special programm) I cannnot see any of them. Why?

 

Google doesn't show all of your backlinks, it doesn't matter how special your software is.

Try checking in the Yahoo site explorer.

 

See if you can find the links in Yahoo or use Google Webmaster Tools.
Google don't show many of the links for some reason or another.

 

Them are excellent directories. You should use them directories with a combination of contextual link building. Have you tried any contextual link building?

 

Google shows but a fraction of the actual backlinks you have. In my case google shows .5% of my total links. Check out yahoo site explorer and they will likely show up there.

 

Yes, I do articles. Thanks

 

If your doing article submissions out of all honesty your probably wasting your time. Most article directories are duplicated with content only quality article directories your going to find is placed like ezine and etc. There is only like 10-15 quality article directories out there.

Contextual Linking is another unique strategy used for various sites. Which is totally different then article linking and 100 times better.

 

Yes, my Friend. You are right again. I submit only unique article and one article per directory. I use only two directories including ezinearticles.com.

 

"Contextual Linking is another unique strategy used for various sites. Which is totally different then article linking and 100 times better"
If I understand you correctly these are links which are in a text. What is different from article?

 

Contextual Linking should means in-content links from related sites. Article marketing is much or less the same.

Thanks Zexy

 

Zexy,

Your wrong. If your are submitting articles you are wasting your time. We have clients ranking on highly competitive keywords and I will tell you this article directories are junk. You can ask any reputable SEO firm that including us.

Article directories do nothing. Let me ask you this how many people do you know ranking on competitive keywords using article directories? None...

Most of the content submitted to article directories is duplicated therefore the directories carry no value with any of the search engines what so ever.

 

I do SEO many years and have a company. Aticles are the best way to promote your website nowadays.

 

Wrong about what contextual linking is? Isn't it in-content links from related sites? Because that's all I said.
I wasn't talking about the impact of article submission on SEO so I couldn't be wrong about that

By the way people submit to article directories because of the direct traffic, not just for SEO.

It's entirely up to you what content do you submit to the article directories

 

OK; people, someone say: What exactly someone got from article submission?

So, like: "My page ranked #... and after this article submission it ranked #... in ? days".

 

Submitting to article directories don't hurt, so if you have the time you might as well do it. For the best results, articles (to each directory) should be unique.

 

Google devalues the links submitted to directory lists..
None of my links submitted to directories are indexed by Google.

 

Rademel has it right. Most websites and such have recently felt a reduction in PR due to Google no longer counting article submission links, spammy directory links and some link schemes (they will be focusing more and more on these link schemes in the future). Basically what Google wants is a natural, quality page and site that are written for the reader - not for the serps. They want natural links that provide value and substance. If you don't do this then you will eventually lose PR and find your traffic and rankings going down. It's that simple. If you cheat you will get caught - either Google will catch you with its filters or a competing website will turn you in with a spam or paid links report.

 

Friends, article and directories submission are very important and bring good traffic with customers NOT VISIRORS. I am not bother about PR I an bother about customers. Feel diffirence between customers and visitors.
To get a good result you have to
1. Submit one article only to one article directory
2. There are only 5-7 valuable article directories. Google loves them. ASll other directories RUBBISH. Google hates them
In terms of directory submission
1. Only payable directories have a value!!!!
2. There are only 10-15 directories which worth to submit. Google desires them
Not 100-not 500 ONLY 15!!!!
Try and you will see perfect results
