For a long time, Google has had an official general web directory located at http://directory.google.com. This directory has the same listings as DMOZ. Now Google has another directory on its servers. It is located at http://freewebdir.appspot.com. This is an instant approval directory. The whois information for its address shows that it is hosted on Google's servers at its corporate headquarters in Mountain View, California.
Never heard about it, seems a little weird that Google would do something like this, but added my site anyway. Thanks! EDIT: Just noticed they use nofollow though..
It cant be google authorised directory. Its just hosted in google apps. There are many application hosted by users on google apps.
An interesting directory. Seems to have some smarts to it - maybe some type of an advanced wiki. It chose the correct category for my site automatically.
this is not google directory guys. Run your web applications on Google's infrastructure. If you'd like to sign in to Google App Engine with your Google Apps account, use the following URL: https://appengine.google.com/a/<YOURDOMAIN.COM>/ So, someone created crap directory on google infrastructure, and may be trying to promote it as google new dir . nice try
Usually Google sites have their log, footer, terms and conditions. Who says that freewebdir.appspot.com is google directory? Just visit http://appspot.com and read what is that. You can create your own application and host on Google HW. - to me sounds like it is. May be not directly Anyway, just to make it clear that this is nothing to do with Google, except it resided on they server. And you can see all apps there: http://appgallery.appspot.com/results?recentapps=true&start=0&num=10
er.... have you read the OP post? If you don't think that counts as someone trying to 'promote it as a google directory'.... what WOULD?
I am the OP. This is not my directory. I had nothing to do with its creation. I am not try ing to promote it. I just made the original post because I thought it was funny that there would be an instant approval directory on Google's servers. I did not encourage anyone to submit to it. It doesn't matter to me if anyone submits or not.
i think the members site is instant approval because i just added my site and searched for it and it was in the search
Your paying out on someone using google infrastructure - yet YOU try to promote your directory as: "from Google SEO Directory." How do you claim that your directory is "Google SEO Directory"..........????? The directory run on Google infrastructure does not in any way say it is by, from, for Google - unlike YOU
It is a directory application hosted in Google App Engine. www.appspot.com is redirecting to https://www.google.com/accounts/Ser...ltmpl=ae&sig=c24697718eec1be75b7ab8f8a0c02416
Slowdraw, are you dreaming? First of all there is no place on my website stating that this is Google SEO directory and never claim that my directory somehow related to google! What you found is Twitter user, and it just using keywords that help to be found on twitter using different keywords, and this technique called SEO. Since you very limited on Twitter, you put most effective keywords. Google SEO = Google Search Engine Optimization And it definitely not
Fake 100%. Not what they say it is. Its not a google SEO directory...... This is a real SEO directory - directory.xind.ca. I highly doubt google would run an SEO dir.
I think the fact that they are nofollow directories basically kills the point of using them. As a consultant for an SEO business, I have found that nofollow sites have been effective at times, but they aren't nearly as powerful as dofollow sites.
