Well, there is a pool of directories which help you to grab the quality number of backlinks some of them are .org directory sites. Or do search country wise. I am sharing some examples with you : http://www.directory8.org/submit.php?c=656 http://justlink.org/submit.php?c=2423 http://ask-dir.org/submit.php?c=2423 http://www.smartseolink.org/submit.php?c=656 http://freeweblink.org/submit.php?c=74 http://www.freeseolink.org/submit.php?c=656 http://ad-links.org/submit.php?c=2423 http://link-man.org/submit.php?c=656 http://www.link-boy.org/submit.php?c=656
Well, if you have low quality website, I doubt God would be able to help you, never mind directories Can you tell us more about "this time", then and now and what was at other time? What does it mean? What directories are build for? Talk to me, brighten me up. But what if social networks look at the garbage you have to offer and tell you to get lost and never come back? Whereas directories would add link to your garbage web site cause directories job is not to be judgmental but to list web resources. Who da hell is dmiz? Wrong... YOU can't but others can, just ask our users. Did you yourself ever tried? I don't think so or you wouldn't suggest the most useless "advice" Where are you coming from people? I know some of you are citizens of Trollsylvania, others would teach dog how to bark but some of you have no sense of self-respect what-so-ever which makes me want to know: what is your freaking problem and why do you think you have something to say? fastreplies
Did any of you guys have negative experience with any directory? If you did, can you please explain how and which ones?
I have never had one backlink, and that was the only source for quality traffic. since google has devalued directories, then I would not reply on them as a single source of traffic, even if you found the best one. You can use directories as link diversity, but I would not over do it thinking any directory is going to bring you a windfall of quality traffic, and doubtful it will ever even happen. What you need is an ongoing collection of authority backlinks, even though you may get traffic from these sources; the main purpose is to give your website a vote, and this your site will start moving up the ranks in google, and other engines....
Why don't check for these article directories- 1. Ehow . com 2. ezinearticles . com 3. hubpages . com These will give you required result. Try them
Now Dmoz and Yahoo have shutdown. You may use Directorycritic, botw, jasminedirectory, dirjournal, and leading link directory. These all are paid directories but their quality is very good.
