I hired digiXmas for 1500 directory links and 1000 article submissions. I did this about 2 months ago. My site is almost 5 years old but I only got serious about link building in November. So my question is how long until google sees all these new links and improves my PR?
I highly doubt it you will gain PR by submitting to directories. For PR it's better to place your link on pages with PR (blogs, sites, etc.). Most of the directory's categories has no PR whatsoever.
Really directories will not help as much as real links. I prefer building links in dofollow blogs aposed to directories.
so is it worthless or a waste of time to submit to directories. I spend about 15 or 20 minutes a day.
