    Question about directories.

    I have always assumed in SEO that your link is valued on the "strength" of the page (PR or PS or whatever) and the length of time it was there (for example, your site was listed in a blogroll for 1 year compared to it being listed in a site in less than a month).

    Anyway, assuming that the above statement is right in some way, does it mean that a non-featured link in a directory gets devalued because the directory listings in (some) directories changes.

    For example, one directory lists sites by PR, so that means if some higher PR sites gets listed your site might go down to another page. If by hits, the same thing. If alphabetical then even if your site starts with an A, there might still be sites that will push your site down.

    So if the first page is indexed and the next is not (since it is new), at least for some days, then the link gets devalued in some way right? And that is a bad thing right? Because, I think there are only few people who really markets a very deep page of a directory...

    The only thing you really have to worry about is how deep the spider is spidering. But yes the fewer the sites a directory lists the better it is for you. Forget about PR and PS. Neither of them are really relevent.

    hehe, no I don't really mean PR/PS, I just meant the way the search engines see the page strength.

    I am really more worried about the dynamic listing. One day you might be on the first page then when enough submissions come, you will be on the second page, then the third, and so on and so forth..

    They dont. Yes Google will add weight to governmental, other recognised bodies and authority sites (dare I use the word) but they dont micro manage these things down to level we would like to believe. Maybe they should but they dont as yet.
    Exactly. Why do directory owners insist on filling their categories with junk submissions. Who do they think they are fooling? Look for a genuine directory owner who can offer you a nice empty category that that is indexed and who charges a reasonable fee to review your site.
