    I'm wondering if you have more then one link from one directory to your site is seen as spam? Would 2-3 links be seen as spam or not a problem? Or is only if you have alot links from one directory?
    Also the links from the directory go to different pages on the site.

    How could it be considered as spam?

    Its not spam. Imagine I make 3 links of my competitors' sites to one directory, I will ruin them just by doing that.

    Can you give a more specific example?

    Are you saying you have different URLS that all point to one site?

    Ha haa,
    Agree with Nadal, If it were spamming, then almost every single person here should be banned from google for having backlinks to their own blogs each time they make a post!

    No, you can link to all your pages but remember that the more links there are on the page, the less weight Google gives to them ;)

    So don't make it too much, and remember that putting your link on a website with too much outbounding links is never good ;)

    Well, some people make own directorys with in every category a link to their other site. I read on different blogs/sites it could be seen as spam by google.

    No, but what's the point of a link from a directory?
    Directories are so 1995.

    No, just like you would not treat site-wide link as spam.

    As you know that there are several deep link submission directories and they allow to submit more than 1 link at same directory. even some time it may be in same category.

    This is no spam. :)

    no multiple links from directories, blogs or Forums are not spamming but this should look like natural. If you have more links from a directory, blog or forum than back links have less importance.:)

    I don't think it is a spam. There are many people doing these, it is a form of deep linking on quality directories.

    Links from directories are still worth something and are good as part of your backlinking strategy.

    Links from directiries are actually almost worthless now, I submitted one of my sites to over 500 directories and the effect was zero, while for my other site I exchanged links with relevant sites, the effect was definately seen.

    Im not talking about mass submitting to directories, cause that doesn't work anyway. Just a few directorys with some nice page rank, nothing more nothing less:)

    True, but make sure they won't have a few hundred outgoing links on their homepage. It makes the links worthless if it is ;)
