Directory editing: do you accept pr0 sites?

Discussion in 'Directories' started by Kdblue, Aug 6, 2007.

    I wonder if other directory owners accepting pr0 or no-pagerank sites?
    I accept them if the quality is good but can't stop worrying if these sites may hurt my directory' rankings.
    Thanks for the input.

    certainly, PR is no indicator of quality

    I have no problem accepting pr0 or new websites, The fact that the owner is submitting leads me to believe that the owner is serious about the site.

    I probably reject as many sites with pr as I do without.

    Thanks Brian

    Why not?
    Every website starts with a PR0.

    as Ask said PR have nothing to do with quality content.

    You can have a PR 5 and still get rejected.

    Yes. Quality, Quality, Quality and Quality is the biggest inclusion factor for any directory

    I look at the site and determines it quality. If I think the site is good and the owner is serious, then they'll be accepted. Simple as that. PR isn't a factor for me these days.

    PR is not the problem, but only the quality content.

    You could try turning off your toolbar when editing. ;)

    I definately wouldn't turn away a site for lack of PR, none of my directories have PR yet at the moment, but i thank anyone who has purchased in them.

    I look to the future potential of a site and im glad that many do the same.

    Its frustrating to know that some people base everything around pr. As previously said pr is no indication of quality. Usually just means its a new site. Take a little longer to look at the site and consider the work thats been put in instead.

    I do not think any problem in accepting PR0 links as long as content on site is good.

    What's PR got to do with a good site? Anyone who turns away a site based purely on PR is either incredibly naive or just plain stupid. Mind you, the site does have to contain quality content.

    PR has no relevance during editing a site.

    What matters is quality of the site and its contents.:cool:

    Why not if it is a quality website? Every website was PR0 once upon a time. Maybe except Google. :)

    I also list the websites by submission dates, not PR and hence a PR0 website do not have to go to the end of the list after the submission.
