hypothetical concern that's not even hypothetical (about directories)

    Since I'm without much support I wanted to see what would happen if I submitted to a whole wack of directories.

    Let's say that I got a PR 2

    -Yesterday I submitted to over 2000 directories (free without rep)
    -All were PR 2 or more
    -Over a hundred of them pr 9 and 8
    -Over 1000 of them in the 5 to 7 range.



    What can I expect to happen with my Site. Do directories even do much?

    Of course it would help, with SEO and Pagerank.

    You can target keywords with your anchor text and if you get a link on a page with PR it could send you some juice.

    I depends on a lot of factors:
    1. Did you do it manually?
    2. Did you submit at the lowest possible level categories? (aka the most relevant)
    3. Did you use variations of your description?
    4. Did you use a good title for your submissions? (imho in most cases it's the actual name of the website)

    If the answers are yes then in my opinion it will help your site.
    I know that a lot of people will say submit to categories with the highest PR and use your keywords as the title etc but I can't prove I am right and they can't prove I am wrong so believe whoever you like.

    Wow, it does help. I was PR 0 but today I just looked and it's at 3.

    If all the directories accept your submission, you will got a PR boost at least to PR7. But can you manually submit to 2000 directories in 1 day? I can only submit to maximum 60 directories for my website.

    60 in a day. What's to stop you if you have a big list. Just keep rolling with it till you can't type no more.


    Will the PR boost go down?
