Just curious, but am sure no-one knows this answer. If you have a weight of say 10,000, how many text links do you think this would bring from the network to your ad??
This is the way I did: I did a search on Yahoo and MSN for my website link:www.freewebdirectory.us before joining the network and wrote down the results. (Google does not provide relevant link results). Then, I did the same thing every one week until the "red graph" in the impression chart got to a constant value for all words I advertise on DP. Analyzing my own stats, I was able to count. (The step error: +/- 200links). Try this method, could help you too. Good luck to you.
I've got approx 5+ positions in search engines. My website, www.freewebdirectory.us - MSN - 1st for "free internet advertising" - 2nd for "free online advertising" - 1st for "free web advertising" - 2nd for "free web directory" - 5th for "web directory" -Yahoo - 1st for "free internet advertising" - 1st for "free web advertising" - 1st for "free online advertising" - 3th for "web advertising" - 4th for "free advertising" - 5th for "online advertising" - 6th for "internet advertising" -Google - 3rd for "free web advertising" - 3rd for "free online advertising" - 5th for "free internet advertising" - 6th for "free web directory"
from my experience, if you have a weight of 10,000 you may get around 10,000 impressions a day, if a search engine is indexing the site your ad is being shown on you should get a back link from it, but if ads are shown dynamically the next time the page is shown your link may or may not be on it. the system is good for obtaining backlinks just not permanent links i have had good results, dp has boosted some page 10 result to page 1 over a month or so.
