It is true. you'll find many free directrories in google. but still a bunch of them need reciprocal link or paid service Some of them do allow regular link without reciprocal link, but the problem is most of these will take ages till being approved. I have submitted 100 + directories, but only got approved by 3 of them. lol that's really crazy or this is VERY common. Any good idea how to get any fast approved directories? Thanks
I never submitted my link to any directories just submit your link to google for crawling and use webmasters tools.If you have unique & good content people will automatically link your site
Submit ur websites in high pr paid directory that would be useful rather than submitting in free directory and wasting your time.... bcoz google is banning the sites which makes more crappy backlinks...so make it count
sometimes it can be the same day or within few days and sometimes it can be never. depends on whether the directory is new or old, how motivated the directory owner is to approve links, how much spam they are getting which is keeping the admins busy, etc
There're some high PR directory that is free, like Dmoz and it's true that there're some free direcotries with no PR, but most of these are just new started diretories, they need time to grow up and they'll require paid service when they got high PR i think. So better than no. We're running a small business. Im going to submit free diretories first to see if there's any effect. I tried to search with our website in google and i did find my link in directories record by google. Im considering to use high PR paid directory . maybe in the future. Thank you for your reply.
I think the paid directory is worth than wasting huge time in new or free directories, just very few free directories are accepted the link soon (it too needs a month)
I have seen most new directories approve fast as they need more listings. Dont know about some mature ones.
