I've been focusing on increasing my backlinks lately. I used to think I got 90% of my traffic from google, I was wrong, 90% of my SE traffic is from google but that only accounts for maybe 1% of my traffic. What an eye opener that was. That got me thinking; backlinks are great and if done properly can send LOTS of traffic to your site besides the SERP benefits. However in order for a SE to pull your page and deliver it to a searcher preferably on the first page you have to have the page indexed right?? Lately we've had all sorts of threads like this so I'm curious on this one. Google is the main player so I'm curious: How many pages does your directory have indexed in google??? Bloggeries has 14,200 at the time of this posting; a massive increase in the last month or two.
Mine is very new, www.zorg-links.com around 60 i think. A good point you mentioned, and is a good incentive if you want to sell sitewide links. However, each compliment each other. Backlinks bring more SE robots, which means more spidering, which means more indexed pages....
indexed pages with good positions at serps! not all indexed pages ranks well in the SERPs, though wiki is an exception! friends cyber club has about 1,950 pages indexed! though i guess with the fast option selected in the webmaster central, more pages can get indexed in the comming months! anyways! cheers
Indexed pages are preety important I agree. And that's why I always recommend to use some script/mods which effectively help with that. My LinkForever.net actually has 22.600 indexed page. Was even over 30.000. Smart keywords on many indexed pages gives more google visitors and this of course gives more chances for submissions.
Overdrive Directory has over 2,000 and increasing rapidly, but the visitors are growing even more than that!
Backlinks are Cool but Indexed Pages Bring SE Traffic... Not if they're in the Supplemental index. Supplemental pages bring little, if any traffic.
Backlinks are mother of SE traffic Only indexed pages don't bring SET indeed 'high ranked' pages bring you traffic and this high rank comes from backlinks
Supplemental Index? Didn't quite get this part.... in short whats the difference between Supplemental Index and the REAL Index... would be greatful if you could share some thoughts on this!
