    I have submitted to some 40 PHPLD's and was wondering if the Links have been discounted by Google? as nothing is appearing yet?

    Any thoughts would be great,

    Si

    If you're referring to results from the link: operator - these results are updated aproximately every 3 mos or so.

    If you're asking about the pages with your listing getting indexed/re-indexed, it varies from directory to directory how often search engines crawl and index pages.

    Hi Ng51online

    Welcome to the directory forum.

    May i give you some pointers to getting the best out of your maketing efforts with directories.

    Measure what you do, its a good start that you know you've done 40, but how long ago did you do them ?

    Have all 40 directories sent you email confirmation of acceptance, of your link.


    Where these directories free directories or new directories, or paid more estabished directories, this factors influence how much promotion the directory owners can do, a listing in a well promoted directory will be better for you

    Google show only a very small selection of links via its external LINK command

    Open a google webmasters account and you'll have access to more info

    Good luck

    They are not couted --don't bother about them. Not only phpLD --but all other directory links like Yahoo, DMOZ, eSyndicate, site-sift -- no directory links are counted by Google.

    Go and find some social marketing site-- pay few K $$ to SEOs and then rank high. Otherwise forget being a webmaster--because G algo is based on links and without directories --no links are easy -whether PAID or UNPAID..

    Try to take your site on DIGG front page --you might get 50-100 bookmarks/ Netscape front page -you might get 30-60 bookmarks.
    The problem is those links are not enough to defeat your competitors:(

    All links count, some more than others (depends on strength and relevancy) unless they have a nofollow attribute or are otherwise blocked from search engines. Directory links may not be as valuable as 'in content' links, but they still help.
