    Hi there ,

    I have a pr2 web directory that currently holds 12k link submissions.

    my questions are :

    -does the quantity of submitted links affect my PR?

    -If i edit every link meta keywords submitted in directory and add my
    url www.flysounds.com - can it improve my PR?

    -how come there are so many submissions per day that are not human ?
    (i do not approve them).

    -though my keywords are totally different - goggle has allocated my top keywords (in webmaster tools) with a site that has nothing to do with my content - why?

    -last but not least - whats the best way in your opinion to monetize a web directory ?

    THanks a bunch for evey one who answers!!
    :)

    No, but the quality will.
    No, but you could edit your listing descriptions.
    Auto submitters, try some sort of captcha on your submission page.
    ??
    Actually edit submissions and list quality sites, the core $$ for a directory are in paid review of submissions. Offer a quality directory and you will get the submissions. Non intrusive adverts is another source of income.

    I actually filter most of the submissions I get . (if i had not i would have twice the links by now).

    about auto submitters - i do have captcha! and this is the weird part!

    avg. time on site is 4 min .

    another thing a lot of the links on my directory are with
    reciprocal . hence about 4K links to my directory that i have checked personally
    but still google tools dont display them

    any idea why?
    :cool:

    Active Links: 11710 it looks like you maybe do approve the non human submissions, thats a lot of listings that you have there.

    Not sure how old your directory is but that would take an age to review all of them.

    all the link that came from the previous owner were not reviewed .
    BUT when i bought it there were only 1K links .
    since then i reviewed every link i have approved .
    and it took about 7 months .

    I am not sure what are human or non humans cause i have a recip linkback law .
    a captcha and a valid e-mail . when the links i get have all the right info ..i approve them.
