How much would you pay for the listing ?

Hello,

let say that we have a directory with PR5, inner pages PR4,3 etc...
Many backlinks, unique, quality content, no spam etc...

How much would you pay for such listing ? what would be your maximum price ?

thanks

 

you tell me about your price to listing in it.
My website is www.soswaterdamage.com

 

What is your editors time worth to review a listing should be the question. Can you PM me the directory URL so I can see the quality content?

 

Would it be yearly or permanent?

I would take into account that if i payed a certain price for the pr then im trying to purchase pr which leads to bad things.

Also the pr could be removed on the next update, the directory might get penalised too if you go over the top promoting it.

These are things that submitters didn't need to think about in the past but now some do.

Depends how well indexed the directory is.

 

pipes, i have been rethinking about this whole indexing thing lately. Have a look at this site. It has many pages indexed but you would you pay for a listing there? Spam submissions, little to no editing, the site has all the junk you can think of. Being "well indexed", is it really representative of quality? I'd hope so but there are many that are well indexed and are nothing but junk databases.

 

It depends on more factors...

You wrote about directory, which you have as signature?

If listing is permanent - i would pay like this - how much visitors i will get from your directory monthly = price in €uros.

 

Well im thinking that if most of the pages of a directory are not indexed and im submitting mostly for a backlink then im not going to get a backlink if most of the directory doesn't exist within a search engine.

Im not looking at indexed being a quality factor but more of a basic expectation, although of course its hard to have any control over because the search engines will index what they will and not what we hope they will.

 

I have also noticed something in particular when it comes to Google indexing directory pages. The directories that do not allow listing in Top category are 'less' indexed as compared to those that do. The two tihngs may or may be have a consequential link but it's something I've observed closely. From what I lately come to know, duplicate meta description also plays a vital role in partial indexing.

 

Yeah not allowing listings in the top categories probably does play a part in that.

 

I'd have to agree here. The listing fees should be used to offset administrative costs. Are you selling PR? If that is your intent with your directory, I'd really suggest looking at doing something else.

 

i think $10 would be ok for a pr5 directory

 

I'm a bit perplexed as to why we are assessing a value of a directory based on its PR? Anyone can take a high PR site and then start filling it full of listings. However that is not going to deliver traffic, SERP's, or any of a plethora of other advantages that a well organized well indexed directory can offer.

Here is what the OP should consider. Are there any other factors that add to the "value" of a listing in your directory? If so, what are they?

 

You set a price based on what you feel is the right amount for your editorial effort. I charge a reasonable amount of around $9 for a regular listing and $15 for a featured listing, which I feel that is suitable for the work I put into the directory.

 

Do understand that PR goes up and down.

Thats like paying a $1000 for a home stereo with the chance that within the first 3 months of ownership that the manufacturer is allowed to come and take a section of it away, regardless of what you paid for it.

Until people stop trying to buy some pr, there will continue to be sites penalised.

Would you recommend a part refund should the pr drop slightly? Or that should the pr of the directory go up that the directory owner contact all people who paid for a submission and ask for a little more money now that the pr has gone up?

Its not practical to price or judge a directory on pr, whether its homepage pr or inner pr.

 

Great analogy.

 

It depends on speed and quolity of editorial process. Not a pagerank.

 

Hello Seodir.net,

i have but not for sale but i am making back links like this PR about. i have noticed your id i will touch you afte.

 

its not depend on price depend on directory popularity, Directory pr and in which category thay can give link

This thread is absolutely ridiculous. You are basing a price on pagerank.

When will you people learn?
