Directory Ranking site got PR5 from only a couple of directory listings mainly paid directories around 25. So at least for PR paid directory listings work very well.
25 links you mean? That's enough to get PR5. Just get PR3-4 mainly, add few PR5. You are done. In fact, good niche 15 links can push your site to PR5
It's not hard to get into PR5 without spending $$$, but it is very hard to get into PR6 without spending $$$$. i got only one sites get PR6 this time round. while i have spend mid range $$$$.
Ask its just about how many Pr links you have This may be useful for you http://www.services-seo.net/pagerank-calculator/index.php
I swear I've got a site that is PR4 with; One PR5 link (that has 49 outbound quality links). One PR4 link (unrelated topic - under twenty outbound). Three PR0 links I used to get the site indexed quickly. Thats it.
That's cool! Your site gained PR5 with just 30 inlinks. You guys can check here: http://www.google.com/search?source...GL:en&q=link:http://www.directoryranking.com/ Congrats mate!
This is great news for high quality directory owners. Just shows that powerful links from credible niche directories are alot more valuable than hundreds of free links in general directories. Congrats to Directory Ranking, keep up the good work and thanks for sharing.
There's quite quite a few more than 30 links. I think we all know that Google doesn't list all of the backlinks using the link: command. Congrats ! Ask ! on the PR for your project!
