How fast to submit to free directories?

    I wanted to discuss how many free directories one should submit to a month before a red flag gets raised by Google's algorithm as too many? Anyone have any experience with this?

    If submitting by hand then i would not put any limit of any kind, its just a personal view and some will disagree.

    If it was some sort of fast submission service then maybe it would be wise to limit, but then again i ask myself why?? as i see some sites that gain huge backlink numbers in just a few short months.

    In a nutshell, i have no clue what is correct but personally i dont reach a number and then think il stop for the month.

    Sometimes i wish the Mythbusters would appear on the internet as there are endless Myths about what is correct or not. ;)

    Personally i don't think it matters... at the end of the day you may submit a load, doesn't mean they will all get approved on that same day... hence the inclusion (and further more the indexing of those backlinks) will occur over a staggered period of time.

    I have submitted to thousands of directories for many sites.

    Free directories take time to get approved so just go for it I have never seen a penalty. And why should there be? You are placing your self in the various internet directories - that should be done.

    Why are you not in them already?

    I give some credence to too fast link building for a young site eg under one year.

    But when any penalty is lifted you are in thousands of diretories with many back links.

    A free PR0 directory today may be a popular PR 5 in a few months - if google ever updates again :)

    Has any one had their directory penalized for getting too many backlinks too fast?

    If you're talking about getting sandboxed you should just expect this penalty for a new site to begin with.

    Else just buy a couple powerful links, avoid tons of new backlinks, and you might achieve your goal and avoid the sandbox.
