A new problem confuse me recently. I submited many bussiness directories and build reciporal links in my site link exchanege page, And the bussiness directory sites 'says' : "they would add my site soon, and will email me " when I submitting my site. but more than a month lapsed. still, I can't find the links in those bussiness directories and no email recieved. what the problem? can your guys tell me some experience? and is submitting directories an greate way to site ranking? thank you ...........
i also having the same problem with my site but you have to wait for the owner reply you. The word 'soon' can be one day or a year, it depends..
They sometimes makes you fool by extending the word "soon" to a life. I not got approval since 1year in some directory
its not a problem actually.. some directories have a thousands of pending links.. and most of them are checked manually.. so all you can do is just wait.. or find another..
I suggest don't reciprocate links with web directories. They were very slow to reply and sometimes no reply. There's lot of free directories where you can submit your site.
yeah exactly Specially when you are submitting to lot of directories, always submit your site To Total free directories or paid directories , don't use reciprocate directories, because paid directories owner surely accept your site as soon as they get your site, and free site owner will accept your site as they get time but if they don't get time then you'll lost nothing,
It depends on how professional and responsive the webmasters and directory owners are actually. Sometimes you may get replies within hours.
it takes time to review your submission usually, if you can't get email notification within several days, just forget it. your problem always happen on free web directories, consider spend some bucks on paid web directories, pm me if you still have any question.
I'm having the same issue. Glad I read through this thread, as I was really wondering what was going on and why I couldn't see mine yet.
