Hi I have many directory lists but the approval rate has been tiny, and also some don't appear to be permanent links, as my number of backlinks have dropped slightly after checking with Yahoo. Unless you guys (and girls) know of any reason why Yahoo would show a decrease in backlinks (unless the directories/sites were temp offline)?? Does anyone have a list of directories that acually approve and within a reasonable time? Thanks In Advance Dee
You need to submit to web directories which announce in Solicitations & Announcements section of this forum so in most cases your site getting approved or rejected quickly IMO. DON.
New directories approve fast Old directories have better PR but have Backlog of submissions And approval might take several months Some directories never send you a confirmation email that you have been approved (only 30% send confirmation)
Without you having your site in your sig link it's difficult to say why you are being rejected, I submit a company website to directories and we get about 90% approval, so it could be something to do with the content of the site?
Free SEO Friendly directory, where the aprooval, is actually the same day. www.director.e-maniacs.com
You can get tons of directories which are announced at DP every month which really approve fast. But I advice go for quality directories only (paid or free). Paid dirs generally approve within 24 hours.
The quality might not be the best but the approval rate is high: http://forums.digitalpoint.com/forumdisplay.php?f=65
You could try this Directory List I made: blog.milofi.com/big-directory-list.html Sorry for no live link, can't publish them yet.
Thanks guys I always look at directories on DP and submit to those. My site is a quality family site, I haven't had any submission rejected as far as I'm aware, it's just I thought all directories notified you once you had been approved, I was aware that (as mentioned above) only around 30% actually do. But I know some do take quite a while, hense why I'm looking for ones that approve pretty fast. I guess it also just takes time for Yahoo to update, hense why they don't appear to be increasing. Thanks Again Dee
If your sole reference point is Yahoo, you might want to give a blog post I did some time ago a looksee - Backlink Madness - the Yahoo tool is inconsistent in its results. Keep in mind too that there are some directory owners who are slow to add sites and others who don't ever adds sites. People will often start directories and not realize that they actually require work. If you want quick acceptance and high acceptance rates, use the Solicitations section of this forum. New directory owners want to build up their sites and are often more responsive to submissions.
Use my directory list to find the last directory's activity under each listing. Choose those directories which have recent activity detected. I achieve an approval rate near to 85%
http://www.blogvertise.me/dir We guarantee your link will be approved in 24hrs or less. If not we will feature your link free for one month.
Hi, thanks I will have a read of that. I have also added your directory list to my favs and submitted my middle sig to Blogvertise. Thanks again to everyone who took the time to reply Take Care Dee
I might as well add my $.02 to this. I had a big old post written out but trimmed it back. It really comes down to this. Top level service/quality does not come for free in MOST cases. As with most things in life you get what you pay for. I would suggest checking out this list of directories - yep most there are paid. If you want faster reviews and better service that is the place to look in my opinion.
Good Quality Free Directory Listing .. Approve immediately.. NO registration http://publishonweb.blogspot.com/2008/09/publish-new-website-on-web.html
Is the low approval because of the directories not editing in a timely manner or because the site(s) submitted are rejected?
