I am looking to submit my shop to a high strength directory at affordable price and with a good site screening. and also need a good strength of a shopping category page. any suggestions?
If interested you can check out the site in my signature. Over 2,000 listed links. PR 2, Close to 10,000 impressions this month. $10.00 Lifetime link.
Here is a list of directories that are a good price. It calculates the value rating based on PR and Alexa. You can sort the list by PR, traffic, price, etc. Use the search on the site if you want to narrow it to a specific niche, etc.
You can try my both web directories i am contuniously improving both Super Links Directory Great Web Links Directory or you can try few submission services at Search Engine and Directory Submission
HI Check out my Directory www.linkdirectory.com paid and free options.. it also now has a pr 5 was a 4... and I am still growing my backlinks and google spider comes to it 2-3 times a day.... Tom
Most paid directories I know suck when the quality is concerned from a web surfer point of view. From a Seo Standpoint I think they are worthless too, as the mainpage may have a lot of PR, but not the Subsubsubsub category where your site will get listed. There might be exceptions...
I've not got into directory submission and wonder if I should if what you say is true. How does Google view paid directories when valuing backlinks?
