A new website after submitting to over 1000 directories hardly gets approval because of no PR, what should seo do then to get links?
Build it slowly. Start with a couple links from good sites like social bookmarking. Then the next month build some more. Then build links to inner pages. Point is do it slowly. Then when you get some PR you can do directories and will get approved easier. I never submit PR0 sites to directories because its a waste of time most of the time.
