Is it difficult for Paid directories to achieve PR beyond 7?

Lol--Jude

In my earlier post I said --its those frustrated self-designed SEO experts who say like that.

I have an experience --one of my friend hired a SEO company for SEOing--and after few days I saw some backlinks from big directories like uncoverthenet coming up for his website. When I asked if he listed them --he says he had no idea --

all the best SEO job and experts --shame on them who downplay the importance of PR

 

Alive Web Directory will be a PR 8 either on this update or the next one.

 

Thank You Jesse. Don't we know it all.

 

Do you think only Alive? -- As per as my research on the industry goes --there are 5 other directories right with Alive and one is threatening to overtake it --So if ever it happens someday--we will rejoice and have a party from Chris --but then some others will also have to treat us nicely as if Alive gets PR8 --there are 2 other contenders too.

 

Which of those two are you refering two?

 

I´ll make you a bet that alive will stay ahead of the others.

 

My 2 cents <<

It is possible ... if you buy links wisely and have a extremely big budget.

It is dangerous because that point is not sustainable unless you are continuously going to advertise and promote that heavily.

 

Ummm just buy a solid PR9 link.

I think there is some truth to getting flagged at PR8, site-sift was there and got whacked as I recall.

 

If there is truth in there. Come this update DP members that will be whacked for that as I know.

Thanks for the link to that article, this part is so true:

"Lesson #2 - Promote Like A Madman

If you promote like crazy, the word will get out. It’s a snowball effect. The promotion we did was so aggressive that the promotion itself created buzz (and linkage). And by promoting, you’re proving to your customers that you’re serious about giving them value for their money."

I see so many folks thinking they will buy an expired PRX domain and put up a free script, a free template and the money will start rolling in.

 

If the expired domain name has already type in or quality link traffic, it can happen. But of course, 99.999 percent of DP members settle for some garbage domain.

 

"If the expired domain name has already type in or quality link traffic". - On the off chance that it does then it probably won't be directory related anyways so it would be useless.

 

But there are ways to cash in on it.

 

Thats top-secret now -- I don't think the owners of those directories would like the idea of me giving out the names.

@ Blogmaster --Yes Alive is still at TOP --no worries about that.
It is after that --the positions will change drammatically after this update.

 

I definetly think its due to people just not wanting to link to directories. Thats the last type of site I would ever think of linking to.

 

So who do you guys think will make the biggest jump on the next update?

 

It doesn't matter whether it is a directory or not. PR cannot me limited for one kind of site. I mean there should not be any pr upper limit for directories...

 

One difficult part could be the finance and how much you can invest. In many cases, huge investment helps to gain a high PR.

I think PR8 could be easy if I could spend a million dollars

Here is my old thread about PR8 + sites.

 

why we need PR 8 directories? too hard to maintain.

PR 6 or 7 is good enough.

 

you can hire a staff of 50 with the submission money you will make
