How to know - it is search engines friendly?

Hi all
How to know, which of directories or link directories are search engines friendly? How to test? And what is criterion?
On the internet exist tons of directories...

 

Maybe the page rank? but becareful, you might end up with receiving spams emails

 

You can check the traffic and Alexa ranking to know this.If Alexa ranking is good then it is search engine friendly.

 

Also, a good criteria is to register only on directories which manually approve new websites...this way they have a better authority

 

There is alot of web directories which claim that thier websites are Search Engine friendly, maybe they are not, but u dont need to post on every of directory, text them with online SEO tools, then post, maybe after posting on some bad directories(claims search engine friendly) u find ur self in panic in search engines

 

Well, choose any of your competitors and check who's linking to them

 

I just followed my competitors. Hope it works.

 

Check website page rank, alexa, and also when directory started. For Example, A Directory with Page rank 3 and started in 2006 will be considered more important, than a directory with page rank 4 in 2009.

So, I hope you understood

 

I submitted my site to many directory before I read this post
Who can tell me that the directories listed on http://www.addurl.nu/ are search engines friendly or not please.

Does high PR = search engines friendly?

 

Hello Friend,

Yes , we can make idea by the PR that direct is search engine friendly.

 

We can check various criteria like PR, domain age, alexa rank and also we can check google penalty for that directory. so we dont end up putting our link on the penalized directory.

 

there are lot of factor behind it ...read above answers

 

when you do a search for you keyword look at other links in the top ten. If you see directory listings ranked then its a good indication that the directory is good.

 

just a very easy check.. just search some keyword of some content in the website.. see the ranking..

 

For that u have to check backlink, page rank and alexa rank of particular site than after u can tell that site is search engine friendly.

I think most of the members have given very useful suggestions. One particular suggestion made by "digital29" is very true. Make submissions to directories that manually approve links. It may be time consuming to get your link approved, but that link will have higher value due to the quality of the directory.

Also , before you submit to a directory, take some time to go through the directory. Ensure that it's not just another 'link farm'. The directory should be well structured. There should be proper categories for different types of websites.

 

there is not any tool for checking search engine friendly but you must have idea about search engine rules and regulations.

 

Look for the PR of those directory's , that will give some idea
