STPT directory...newb questions about directory submission

Discussion in 'Directories' started by muppethunter, Jul 18, 2007.

    I would like to submit to starting point directory and I am hoping to gain some page rank and traffic from the submission. The problem is I did a page rank check on the page I would like to be on and the results come back as "N/A" on every pr checker site I have tried. I guess my main question is will I gain some PR and traffic from the listing or does the directory page need some page rank to effect my site. I'm a newb to all of this so be gentle.

    I was all for shelling out the cash until I ran a PR check on the page. Maybe I can find another category that suits our site.

    What makes you think that he PR checkers are accurate? Is the category you'd like to submit to cached? Starting Point is a pretty good directory, maintains some editorial standards and delivers a bit of traffic.

    Care to PM me the category?

    If you really want to buy a listing from this directory -

    Just submit your listing to your favorite category and pr will come to this category for next pr update. Be patient and that category will have some pr ove time.

    Pm sent...and thanks for taking a look at it for me.

    The main problem is NONE of the directories I have looked at seem to have a category we fit in. The category I looked at has 1 listing in it.

    Congrats on the listings. You seem to be taking a route opposite of most submitters; starting with the biggies and working down. ;)

    It's best to be in the right category, Stpt is a safe bet, if a category doesn't have PR it is because it is new, PR5 minimum after an update.

    Nothing wrong with your chioce. :) Most just seem to start out with free or inexpensive directories and rarely submit to the prominent ones as ypou have.

    I'd say good move on your part.
