nofollow directories

Just came across this, when I was checking my backlinks. There are some directories that uses nofollow, so in my opinion they are useless to submit to.

Here is one if you know others please post:

You can check your backlinks in http://www.backlinkwatch.com and see if any other directories uses nofollow.

Hope this helps some admins and also let the directory owners know.

 

Not useless if you getting traffic from it.

 

you might always that this is a free web directory,
they are right although the no follow tag added.

 

I have a niche directory that uses no-follow; it’s the owner’s choice.

If the directory brings targeted traffic and some business then it’s worth it.

If a Directory owners informs would be submitters then I don’t see a problem.

Thanks Brian

 

If its no follow and free i see no problem with it, im never put off by no follow on free, takes all of 30secs to submit.

 

Would you be put off by a nofollow if you paid for the link pipes? That's not a loaded question btw, its something I'm interesting in finding out from as many as possible as this dictatorship of no-follow is out of order as far as I'm concerned.

 

Yeah if i paid for it then i wouldn't want a listing no follow, but as free its fine if its no follow for me.

 

It depends, if my submission brought me a visit that turned into a customer then I would be happy.

If I was looking for PR then I wouldn’t bother.

Thanks Brian

 

I think it depends on the directory and what you are submitting for, if you are submitting for traffic then I don't think no follow is much of issue.

But I don't think much or any traffic is expected from free directories anyway.

 

I don't personally use nofollow in my directory but I have submitted to nofollow directories and have had hits from them. To me it makes no difference anymore.

 

With a few exceptions, a general directory that is "nofollow" would be pretty useless.

 

I think most people that submit to these smaller directories like the one you mentioned are looking to boost their rankings and pagerank more than direct traffic, so I would agree that the no-follow tag makes them almost worthless. Although there is a theory that the engines do not always ignore a link with this tag, but I don't know.
