Bluefind Directory

what is more important, related content or high PR?

 

I'd say both. I don't think either could ever hurt!

Why? Are you offering

 

There's no update to see the effects of PR on listed sites as yet - but, personally, I would place primary concern on the quality of the listing. John and co are doing a good job of keeping the directory clean and link bombing free, which can only be a sign of a quality link.

 

Bluefind recently raised their price from $30 to $49.95.

 

Hi, younghistorians.
Yes, I just noticed the same thing. I was going to submit and saw the increase in price. Darn.

 

It was $40 when I submit. Wasn't the $30 thng a short lived special promotion of some kind?

 

Anyone seen there link on this directory included in Google yet?

I have a PR6 link on one category, that's been there for three months, and it's not appeared on my latest BL's on Google.

Anyone having the same problem?

 

Same here, not coming up in backlinks, yet.

 

Yeah it was...sorry!

 

I've seen mine - I did Add URL in google (since the PR on the directory page is already there anyway) and it added the page with the link

 

Sorry Schlottke, not with you.

Do you mean you manually submitted the directory page to Google?

Should you have to do this?

Please explain.


Thanks,
A Thicko

 

None of my submissions (3) show as links yet, they just show in the "contains the term" search. One is on PR7 page so it will be interesting to see how long it takes it to show as a link.

 

Surely 3 months is long enough to get credited for the link?

How does one tell that PR is being transferred?
Even if your HomePage PR goes up to 6 - how do you tell that it is due to a particular link to your site?

So it doesn't seem that that Bluefind is "transfering" PR?

 

I'm not saying that - it's just weird that I haven't seen a BL yet from my PR7 and PR6 links on the directory. There could well be a reason for it, and thus the reason for my question

If everyone else is having the same problem, then yes, it might well not be transferring PR or is in some type of link sandbox theory that I've heard bandered around recently.

I wouldnt be to worried about it at the moment, with the way the PR updates it might just need one more update to change PR.

 

I've seen backlinks showing from this directory so don't worry about it.

 

Thankyou for confirming this Dominic, I also starting to get a few hits from bluefind so looks like it is starting to generate traffic, anyone else see this?

 

I'm getting some traffic from BlueFind, but it never has shown up as a backlink even though I was one of the first to sign up and the listing page has a PR7. This could be related to the last G backlink update that wiped out all of the directory listings from my backlinks.

 

I'm not seeing it as a link as such but when I do allinurl:www.mydomain.com it appears in the list - usually if its in this list and not displaying on the link: then I assume its lower than PR4 but since we've had changes to how links are being displayed AND no changes to PR (toolbar) for a while this might be why.
