Hi I have been doing link building of my site for last 2 months and submitted my web site more than 100 Free Directories but still 0 inbound links at Google. Its really disappointing . Plz give me some "DoFollow" Free Web Directories links if any one have, please share it with me or mail me on my id nida_ruhi2005@yahoo.ca Regards Nida
the backlinks in google update every 2-3 months just before the PR update, so you might need to wait for the next PR update to see results.
And i think you should submit few content in social sites too , if you submit only in directories than your link don't get so importance .
Free directories do not tend to be promoted too much. Very often, the owner approves everything that is submitted- so there is nothing like quality, and your link can get buried in some deep inner page that may never be crawled.
To find out backlinks, use Yahoo SiteExplorer. Google is a bit secretive of divulging to the public what links that point to a particular website.
If you are using Google Webmasters it should be showing all the backlinks that you have. Webmasters takes a few weeks to update sometimes though. Before the last PR update one of my sites lost a lot of backlinks in google Webmasters perhaps because a lot of directory pages were removed from the index.
I definitely agree with the above posts. Don't waste your time on directories, find other better ways to get backlinks. Articles, social-bookmarking, link exchange.
I suggest you only submit your site to the top or high PR directories only. I submitted my site to 1000+ directories, and even after 1 year, I only see 10 or so backlink only, that are coming from directories. So now I only submit to the top directories.
Find relavant blogs with hight pr, to post quality comments (with a backlink) on try dofollowblogs.com
Really? Website directories don't help much anymore? I spent part of yesterday submitting a site to a few directories, was that a bad idea? Does Google ignore these backlinks or devalue your site for them?
Loads of do follow blogs Check this blog article out, really useful http://niche-traffic-sale.blogspot.com/2008/07/how-to-find-niche-do-follow-websites.html
I don't have those info but this might give you some help if you need to build a dofollow backlinks. Check out BUMPzee.com community.
directories can be useful for traffic but generally i find that as backlinks they are very poor. I prfer to post on social bookmarking sites, do follow blogs and forums and engage in link exchanges
