Directory Contest is now on!!!

Could be that you have accessed his site a few days ago and that it´s still showing the same thing. On my end it doesn´t. (refresh it)

 

Humm, thats not what you told me about mine directory. Somehow i'm confused-i put the same link up as romow directory in the footer but i put it up on the header. Explain what a backlink means to you?

 

It has been removed-mostly cause he got the top positon. Thats should be grounds for illumation.

 

Please reread my post: what you have just said does not show up on my screen when I am looking at www.romow.com

You have read my post before about sitewides and so on, and you had a link on top of your directory. I appreciate giving the contest the extra publicity by adding it to the top of your site but since it is onsite seo, it´s against the regulations. Sorry, I thought I was being more than clear about it.

LOL I have given everyone a week a few days ago.

 

O.K. I put the link at the top only to ask if this was O.K. Anyways, glad to know your flexable. Lore

 

No worries. Good luck moving up in the SERPS!

 

I do not think it matters if the directory is free or paid, if it is in first place and has followed all of the rules I do not see what difference it would make.

 

I agree. A directory is a directory, free or paid. Being paid or free does not make a directory any less benefit to the listings within it.

 

Well im gonna try...

U better get started soon, it would be difficult to beat the SERPs in the end...

 

Right, both are judged the same way. I want to find the best directories regardless of whether they charge or not. If people want to submit to them, it will be up to them to decide whether the fee to get listed is justified or not

 

Hi Mike can I just check, what your saying is that you can't have an internal site-wide link to your entry? Is it O.K. to put a link to my entry in my blogroll on my blog and link it to my directorycontest entry? or is that not aloud?

 

That is fine, I am ok with you linking from your other sites, just not from the directory which has entered the contest

 

Blogmaster on your site it says something about a free directory listing for Dir's in the top 50, I don't know where to click on the blog though to get it, please could you tell me what I need to do?

 

It's all on this post, Dave

I was just thinking that all the SEO by the directory owners are kind of messing up the true purpose of this contest for the sake of winning.

A directory basically lists any entry without the extras (thousands upon thousands of inbound links hitting the details page) unless this is a regular service you do for all submissions. On category pages, it is a different story because other sites listed on the same page get the same benefits as the listing directorycontest.com

What I am saying is that there needs to be some rules for disqualifications based on over search engine optimization because the winner may not be a true strong directory but someone who can do a lot of inbound linking from their network of sites.

If category A (with directorycontest.com) gets 1000 inbounds, and random category B on the same directory (without directorycontest.com) gets 5 inbounds then there maybe some grounds to get it disqualified.

If details page A (with directorycontest.com) gets 1000 inbounds, and random details page B on the same directory (without directorycontest.com) gets 5 inbounds then there maybe some grounds to get it disqualified.

When this happens, the directory contest cheapens to nothing more than any other link building contest. Just my two cents.

 

I agree with you, but I also know that directory owners do need support to get a directory to the point where it gets credibility. If you own a great directory, you will be able to use your resources to win this easily.

 

You know that I have always respected your opinion, Sarah. Whether I like to hear it or not
