I am new to link building field. I read some where on intenet that submitting link in high PR directories will make good effects on website ranking in search engines. But the problem is that when ever I am trying to submit in directories and search on google for directories I always get reciprocal link directories and paid directories. I have a technology niche website. My questions are 1, Do any one know about high PR free directories without reciprocal link. 2, Do I exchange link with reciprocal directories or it will harm my website? 3, I received an email from a website admin with same niche like me for link exchange but when I visit to his website I found that his website contain copy content what can I do? Do I exchange link or it will harm my site. Thanks in advance
Try to search on google "free web directory" that get many and hopes some of are free and you also get here some directory resources Directorycritic.com and for niche dir list try here www.bdhire.com/nichedirectorylist/ Most of directory are not good for reciprocal links because you do exchange for same niche link but dir are not your niche, they contain all types of link.
I wouldn't submit your site with reciprocal links. The search engines will not like it and count one way links better. Maybe you can try this one: http://www.directorysubmitter.com/
Submit your site to those 2-4 k free dirs Forget about PR and don't expect magic there is no such thing as magic in SEO
