Hi all, For all of you that running after directories with PR - here is something that may change your mind: loladir.com is a PR0 at the moment. But any keyword that I submit (it is my directory after all) does extremely well with Google. Examples: Cyan Was no-where in Google 2 weeks ago. Now it ranks 91. Yes, I know it is not first page, but it is a good start for very competitive keyword. Company Intranet ranked 540 a week ago. Now it is 73. there are many other examples. Also the directory itself ranks quite well with Google: foot directory 7 keyword directory 6 iphone directory 2 dating directory italy 2 feet directory 10 lincolnshire forex 1 top10 livescore 18 stock photod 1 lymph node sites 5 myspace unblock -proxy 9 forex directory 38 cool voice messages 4 now for the best part. Most of the keywords are very cheap, some of them are even free. The most expensive one is $9.99. New keywords are just $5... So PR is not everything...
the reason for the suprising results is probably the fact that your directory is PR5+, just hasnt had a toolbar PR update
'scuse my ignorance - just wondering how/where you checked to see the loladir.com as a PR5 - I've just checked a couple of PR checker tools and they're showing PR0. Not being funny - just want to know if the services I'm using are duff. Cheers Mike
I think what he meant is that Google has alreasy allocated this directory a PR5 ot more, but it doesn't show on the toolbar yet.
