Hi, help me please... are the free directory listings guaranteed to improve my SE ranks and SERPS? hope to get fast replies tnx!!
Not all, since some have the nofollow attribute which makes them not count as backlinks. I have a blogpost about getting backlinks here in case you're interested. Link: http://forums.digitalpoint.com/showthread.php?t=341686 I hope you like it.
Wow thanks for the fastreply... Im checking that... now i understand not all are guaranted backlinks tnx!!!
There are no guarantees unfortunately.. I would say there are a significant amount of links that are not even noticed by the search engine bots..
free submissions usually have no guarantees ....... ! Most of the High PR sites make cash from the backlinks. But some help u to build backlinks.
Depends on the directories, they are right if that directory has nofollow attribute the link juice will not pass.... but continue submitting to free directories 'coz this is a one ways links that is excellent for link building...
It can help but there's no garantee. Link exchange with related sites is also an effective way to improved site SERP.
I think that every link helps except no follows which are such a pain. I try not to link to sites that have no follows as it defeats the purpose of the link. i have even had a paid directory put a no follow link on my site once.
every link will help you to get better serp result but you must take care on two thinks * nofollow: if there is nofollow, it will not help you * some of the directory are full of spam. do not use these directories to submit
