Hello! i want to share my problem and get your comments on it. i submitt my site to more than 600 directories and received their confirmation mails. But when i check my backlinks, i only find round about 20 in yahoo and 50 in google. so,,,,, to much worried that wha't happening. you plz. disclose what's secret in it.
I'm no expert but I've found that I get very little from normal directories - plus it takes time to filter through. When did you do these submissions? Have you worked at gaining natural backlinks? How many visitors are you getting to your site? Where are these visitors coming from? There's no real secret I'm afraid - directories are a good source of backlinks but that's not the end of the story. Make sure that you concentrate on your content and market your site... Think about keywords and SEO too - constantly look at your site and think about what you could do better - find what works and do more of the same. Good luck! Cheers, p.
Give it time, if you are getting more backlinks showing in google than in yahoo you must be doing something right. I always get more links listed in yahoo than anywhere else. Look at other methods of getting links other than directories.
links in directories not instant. First some dirs take time to approve your links, and once it is approved it must be index by the search engine spider. Patience and they will come. But like said, dont stop there. You can write articels and submit them. You can use social bookmark site to gain backlinks also.
