Couple sites I have advertised with in the past notified me today that my directory sites are no longer welcome due to the fact they will now only link to "related sites" ... undoubtedly related to the PR update, etc. Just curious if anyone else got the same?
I canceled 50 links today. New strategies. I guess Google got what it wanted.. for nobody to profit exact Google themselves... It is going to get worse before it gets better. I am focusing on Yahoo a little more. I am seeing more and more traffic from Yahoo these days which gives me a bit of relief.
I've done a little of this over the last 6 weeks. Our aim is high quality traffic relevant to our location and visitors. If the site has PR then great. Overall, search engine results, optimisation and content will be our key focus.
i have received some cancellations and have also cancelled alot of links from my own sites.some of my sites are high income producers so the small amount of link money is not worth the risk in the long term.
I haven't had any cancellations but this bring up an interesting point (slightly off topic maybe). When we talk about relevance, it seems to me a directory can be relevant to most websites. I may be wrong and just looking for justification. My case in point. I had a link to a popular web design site and a friend asked if I'm sure about the link since it really isn't relevant. My response was yes since I have a web design category I would consider it to be relevant. There are many examples of similar instances I'm sure. I'm just curious how other look at this.
i think because of all the catagories the links are related ie:finance sites submit to finance catagories.
I've canceled some advertising after reviewing my statistics and seeing that traffic was not sufficient for what I would like it to be. No offense to anyone who've i have canceled on, just looking for better traffic. I'm sure you all understand p.s. - if you have a heavy traffic site let me know
i would like to start out somewhere around the 12-15,000 uniques a month. oh, and I could care less about what alexa has to say. I like people!, people!!, people!!!
I can sell you links on min 1000 uniques a day sites. Since you are reputed, I can send you cpanel info you can check the stats. 5 directories of that caliber (send you your offer) Note: I do not check regularly so, can conforum if you need..
