I am suddenly getting submissions from high PR sites. A question; why would big name PR 7 and 8 sites have any need to be listed in my little directory. PR 6 I can understand but in the last 2 days I have HAD 3 7's and 2 8's. Is this normal?
Have they submitted main domain or sub-domain? Also -is your directory paid or FREE? It is quite normal for bigger sites to hire SEO firms - and most SEOs consider directories as one of several sources of backlinks.
It means - those big companies are targeting some other terms. All big firms/companies have in-house SEO specialists or hire big SEO firms. (Otherwise who can hire Rand Fishkin for $1000/hr consultation FEE?). As told earlier, directories are one of many sources of backlinks that SEOs use to get that extra backlink.
yup..alot of big companies use seo and do submissions like the rest of us little guys.I have some big named companies listed in my directories as well
Large companies always submit. There was talk in 2007 I think that sites like disneyland etc were being submitted around. Same goes for British Airways and others.
I know many PR5/6 sites that submit their homepage (as well as internal pages) to directories regularly. It might also be a directory list owner trying to see if you actually approve submissions to your list. I use a client's PR5 (superb) site to find if the directory is dead (or just being naughty by approving only paid links)
Thanks for the replies. While my brain cells are in a state of confusion over this I will just look at it as a fact that everyone does illogical things.
The big company pay the directory submission companies for submitting on your directories, Pls don't focus on the pr anymore.
