How much is directory submission really important?

You two do know you are figthing who is wrong or right, but you both actually mean the same thing?

 

I dont know which side he is on Until his 2nd post I htought he was against me but I think he is with me lol

 

I think so. But his/her first post is confusing.

 

I am a bit of his and her (his )

Well by first post I think u mean No. not the slightest. That was in reasponse to 'So the question is could directory submiting actually hurt your website?' by johnson

 

Directory submission can never be bad - the only question is 'how much is the link worth in traffic, PR and in anchor text for the SERPS?'

If it is no follow link then no PR is given from google.

If its on a high PR page with only a few out links then the PR leak is more.

If the link falls on a 0 PR page then only the link and anchor text is credited. But one day this page may grow some PR.

You could submit to 10,000 directories and get no traffic from it. But the engines may find these links and so you have a lot of one way links in with your varied anchor text.

Its only good for your site - but how good is the only question..

 

why do you want to limit yourself?

more backlinks is allways better

 

I keep hearing rumors that directories can hurt your PR? Link (Farming) can any1 confirm this?

 

directories are not farms.

Farming is FFA link pages that have hundreds to thousands of links on the one page. Having ur link on these pages can hurt you but these arent used as much any more.

 

Well whats the newest / best way to do it then lol, all i do now is post in blogs, then leave my URL at the end of my comment

 

No importance whatsoever. When you see a PR7 directory, where the category is PR5 and sub-category is PR3, you submit your link in a PR0 page, which is worthless...

Those r my favorite

Wth about another 3 or so good ones you could buy. These r great quality links ull receive.

 

The only way I could see directory back links to work is if the page your actual link is placed on has PR rank. Obviously the higher the better. Directory can have pr of 10 and the page your link is on could have pr of 0. That link is worthless. It is possible that that page can get a higher pr in six months or so.
