People who have links to Aviva, Sevenseek, Forplex etc in their sigs.

    Why is this? They don't seem to be affiliate links, so I can only assume that the directories are paying or have some kind of deal in place.

    I'm just worried that I might be missing out on something!

    Hi slapmatt

    I think it is fair to say on behalf of all the Directories it is part of their marketing strategy to have their sites linked on sig links :)

    Links in signatures = potentially more backlinks, but also more importantly more exposure for that directory and exposure is good! People also get paid a small amount (usually) by the people they are promoting...

    Hey, rebuild your cache on your directory. you're missing categories on detail pages.

    I guess the marketing is potential backlinks but I really think they're shooting for traffic. It's quite amazing how much traffic those sig links can generate.
