No Follow Dirs

i was wondering, are there a lot of dirs with NO FOLLOW attribute...?!!???

i mean what is the point of it...it supposed to be a directory and for search engine to follow the links...!

 

till now not..

Most of the directories are for SERPs/SEO purposes.

 

Not all have.. I think most of them don't have nofollow tag..so,good for serp.

 

Almost 99.99% of the directories have 'dofollow'. So feel free to submit your sites to them.

 

i have a no follow only directory

no follow does not mean a search engine will not follow it. It will still count as a backlink it just simply wont pass on any link juice.

 

Not all directories are no-follow, and not all search engines respect the no-follow tag

 

I have a number of followed directories.
The only no-follow directory I own is a niche directory which is more of a webmasters resource aimed at providing traffic and customers.
I see no problem is long as submitter is aware before submitting.

Thanks Brian

 

According to my control panel I get hits from nofollow directories just as much as I do from follow. So to me, it doesn't make any difference anymore.

I would trade PR juice for serps any day of the week...

 

Yes, no-follow links are still useful for traffic

 

it has no problem if the directory is free,
but the owner should let the submitters know the no follow tag will be added on their links.

 

and I would trade PR and SERPs for qualified visitors/clickthrus

 

It doesn’t have to be free just because it’s a no-follow directory.
If the directory doesn’t make any money it will be less likely to be promoted.
If a directory specialises in one niche and is promoted correctly it will bring you traffic and maybe some business, it will also be less likely to get penalized.
I have spent a good few $$$ for submission to directories that ended up penalized so money not well spent at the moment in time, I learnt that traffic is more important than PR.
Like I said before I have a number of directories and use no-follow on one, this may change in the future.
Let your customers know if you use no-follow and let them decide for themselves.

Thanks Brian

 

thanks for all the opinions....but we are talking about little directories...i mean i have submitted my sites to over 2000 dirs overall...and they only thing they provide is boosting my site to the top...i don't get that much traffic from them...
so what is the point of having a NO FOLLOW link!!?

 

I don't know what half the posters in this thread are saying, bunch of amateurs.

a directory is WORTHLESS if it's a nofollow.

 

I agree with you.. I prefer using on Do Follow Directories.

 

some amateurs cant read...

nofollow directories are good if they send you traffic

 

And none send you any SIGNIFICANT TRAFFIC. Not even Yahoo.
