Do you ever get authority sites submissions?

I was wondering, do you ever get authority sites submitted to your directories.
I have received a few submissions that I thought that someone might be joking with me, but their emails were valid. I am talking about sites that probably most of us have visited with high PRs and high rankings and great brand recognition.

 

You will be waiting for quite some time to get authority sites submitted to your directory. I add them myself manually in order to populate my directories with some high-quality listings.

 

I just denied Google, DMOZ, Yahoo, ASK, AltaVista, DogPile, and quite a few others yet AGAIN, about 10 minutes ago. Damn Spammers!

 

Yes, I add them manually as well but I have gotten a couple submitted and I was really surprised.

Yeah I know what you mean, they must be using an automated software or something.

PS: Whoever submitted Google to my directory is not funny

 

I have gotten a few that caught my attention...companies you'd never think would be doing directory submission.

 

A couple of recent paid submissons caught me by surprise.

 

Exactly the same, the funny part is that they used the free option
Not that I mind, I am happy to receive quality submissions.

 

Yes, I too have got submissions from some big companies with renowned brands in the corporate arena.

 

i have received some from companies who make nice softwares and as chris said, companies you'd never think would be doing directory submission.

 

I'm just wondering what's the % of the bigwig companies submission type?
Free submissions or featured submission... dun dun dun

 

A SEO of a big company will probably choose the free submission (if he has that option) most of the times. Why? because he has to report weekly or biweekly and justify the expenses, and a directory submission is difficult to explain in terms of ROI especially to people that don't understand much about internet marketing.

 

I have got many regular listing from citibank and their associates, still i think they are genuine

 

Yes i have gotten sites that are authority sites who have paid the amount asked for in the listing fee

 

Yes, occasionally. What surprises me is when I get a submission for the site of a well-known company, and the SEO obviously hasn't got a clue about directory submission. I mean, how many of you guys actually welcome descriptions full of promotional language?

But getting these submissions shouldn't be a surprise: authority sites don't get to be that way without having some ongoing SEO strategy.

 

We provide Directory submission service and recieve orders from clients from some big companies with renowned brands in the corporate arena, So if they are paying us to get their site submitted obviously the directory owners will be getting the submissions.
