LOL From head I'd say: Alive, Aviva, Forplex, Gii, Ask, Romow, Sevenseek - and none is mine If you want mine... well... look around.
Yeah, there are many biased people around here So just do your own research. Compare PR and prices and a few other things. PR is PR. I don't think it really matters if it comes from Alive, Aviva, or or any other directory with the same PR. And do not expect any traffic, unless you are submitting a directory.
Yes it is definitely worth more than what others say If a directory sends some quality visitors to your site then it is worth more than anyother thing!
No I do not have a listing there But I have found out these from link details http://www.alivedirectory.com/aviva-links-directory-link-611.html Outof 252 visitors alteast 50 would have payed aviva for a listing on it
the web consists of more than just directories you know. Is it worth it for this one who is placed featured in the first spot of the hosting category and getting 0 hits? http://www.alivedirectory.com/greenlush-cheap-web-hosting-link-4631.html
At some point he added my site. And he submitted to my site. http://forums.digitalpoint.com/showthread.php?t=326942 here is his link http://www.ayhu.com/computers/web-directories/Aviva-Web-Directory-l11876.html
yes thats the point I wished to say There are not many people browsing directories nowdays those who are browsing are webmasters like us I think they are more useful for PR for non directory sites! I would rather spend on my servers for Bigoole rather than paying for a link on directory (as it is important to me)
Sure, submit a listing to alive! It will give your website mass exposure, I submitted some time ago http://www.alivedirectory.com/internet-promotion-directory-link-131.html and already have over 184 visits from alive.
If they send you traffic that is good news. No dought Alive Directory is the leader Just check the page rank where your site is listed. And the pr of the link you posted. http://www.alivedirectory.com/Internet/Directories/ No dought Alive Directory is the leader My comment is to just find the real worth - Just in line with the topic. Thanks
Is this true? Is PR from Alive which is an authority site more valuable from the same PR from a regular directory? I would have thought it is.
AliveDirectory is definitely worth the $$$, Chris promotes his directory more than those damn late night infomercials by SMC.
Maybe we should make an unbiased list with the top directories and include as many factors as possible. BTW- I have a feeling that we are going for a big surprised by the end of this year.
Thats the best idea ive heard in a while.... unbiased is the key word I know a few i mine crush a few PR6s without a doubt... If it were based on many factors then the tide would change.. thx malcolm
I will soon prepare a list that will not be based upon PR! It will be based on PD, no of visitors that the site may get because of the listing Also now only it came into my mind Chris is only promoting the directory and not the innerpages that it is he has only links to www.alivedirectory.com and not www.alivedirectory.com/Internet/Webhosting so only Greenlushwebhosting has no hits ! we should tell him to promote his inner pages also!
Thats kinda were my issue with paying for directories lies. I suppose the argument I keep asking myself is, if I submit to the top lets say 6 directories and pay roughly $99 each is there really going to be a ROI on that if the internal deep links within the directory are dormant. Pondering this
Lol-- I am really speechless -at your suggestion of telling Chris how to promote his directory If he didn't know --Alive Directory would not been an AUTHORITY SITE. It is very hard to earn the AUTHORITY TAG from Google and he has really earned it. And now he has to learn how to promote it from you I'll show you one such directory which has PR7 & PR6 links specially for an innerpage --but nothing improved beyond normal. By nature, surfers are mostly impatient ( how many people go to Page5/6/7 to find a related site on Google? --Do you?) and tend to look for only first couple of pages. As I said in my earlier post --5/6 directories will not give you huge number of traffic. Infact if you list on the top 6 directories (DMOZ/Yahoo/BOTW/business.com/Alive/Aviva) --they could not give you hundreds of traffic per day. But if you get listed in those directories --your SERPs will get improved beyond your imaginations and you will get organic traffic from SEs. As I told earlier--one has to understand the role of directories (no matter which)--no directory can send enough direct traffic -- but if you have listing in 50 of the top web directories --your ranking will be high and you will get traffic.
