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...
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.
Was that aimed at me specifically? ill make sure to do it via the phpLD3.x CP either this evening or tomorrow - not exactly sure what it does but hohum!

If you want one, I can offer you my sig link containing your site url BTW - Thats what you will see in the link sales forum.
