Help me spend my $500 backlinks budget

Discussion in 'Directories' started by Sherif Omar, Aug 18, 2010.

    Hi all, I've allocated $500 to spend on paid directories to get backlinks to my online dating / online marriage site. I've already submitted to about 40 free/reciprocal sites but I'm starting to think it's better to go for quality backlinks as opposed to quantity.

    What I would like to know is - would i be better off just spending my money on Yahoo and BOTW, or should I spend it on, say 10 directories at $50 each ? If you could recommend a list of directories I should consider that would be great.

    regards
    Sherif

    If you want to boost your PR you can find plenty free dirs.
    If you want to get traffic and improve your keywords rank, try to get backlinks from related websites. That option will cost you money.
    If you interested in last option, pm me.

    Spend the money on directories in your niche first. Then look at BOTW and other higher ranked general directories. Here's a list of good value directories that might help you get started.

    $500 on blog directories would be a waste

    It's better for you to find simular site (dating) and buy link, even if it will cost you 2x as paid directory link ($100) or more.

    You should submit to http://botw.org/, one of the best around. It's kinda pricey, but well worth it.

    So what are you looking to buy backlinks on blogs? Or just doing directory submission?

    Actually I have a blog associated with my dating site, so anything related to blogs would be a plus also

    I didn't realize they had a paid directory here, but it's only PR3, and for $125/year seems a bit pricey ?

    The $125 is for other "premium" benefits apart from being able to list in the Directory. I sent you a PM with my opinion.

    If i were you i wouldn't spend a single dime on directory submissions. They aren't as much worth as they charge for a link. You'd rather hire a link builder from the Buy/Sell/Trade section and spend wisely there.
    Article marketing is the best way of getting good permanent niche-specific backlinks.
    If you want authority backlinks, go for high PR dofollow blog commenting. Works well, specially with Bing as far as i've observed.
