    Guys,

    We have started a non-profit effort to list the high quality webdirectories/linkdirectories based on their ranks.

    With hundreds of directories available, how does anyone know if it is worth submitting to your directory. Be it paid or free or reciprocal.

    With us each directory's rank is calculated every hour and no single directory is going to hold the top place all the time. Even our own directory (www.suggest-link.co.uk) doesnt rank no.1.

    Its not only about ranking, its about providing a right place where anyone can find appropriate directory of their choice.

    As we are limiting only to 250 directories, feel free to put up yours as soon as possible.

    How do I add a second directory?

    and I'm not sure I want the counter on every page of my directory. Something more discreet will give you better success. If anything I'd rather it be hidden (a la analytics) with a single link out to you.

    [​IMG]

    On one of my directories I do a weekly rank using factors from the sites, (but not traffic) which requires no involvement or changes on the site. In fact, most of the sites in my directory are probably unaware I'm promoting them.

    Thank you for your appreciation.

    Could someone help arrive at some form of ranking system that link directory owners like you and me would be happy adopt?.

    All ideas are welcome.

    I'd recommend you write a tool that measures the PR of the directory, the number of pages (use google's site:www.mysite.com to measure), hits out and visitor rating. Work out how to weight them alltogether and go from there.

    A directory that wants to be useful doesn't rely on the listings to drive it's data.

    Thank you. As pointed out by few of you, we are now implementing the following data within the button. It should be ready in couple of hours.

    The button will have:

    PageRank, Indexed Pages (Google), BackLinks (Google), (Alexa Rank) and Indexed Links for Google, MSN, Yahoo!, AlltheWeb, AltaVista and Total Links.

    Just trying to work out a design that should accomodate all the above. Any suggestion is highly appreciated.

    Cheers

    I don't mean to be negative but while I might want to be listed in your directory why would I want to display all that info on my site. If I wanted it there I'd have do it myself.

    I would just want to link back to you - from one page, not sitewide - promoting your directory.

    I appreciate the validity of your point. It is not mandatory that you must link back to our website and by all means you may refrain from doing so or you can keep it in a remote page where no one visits. Your directory's link popularity information is not for you but for your directory visitors to show them instantly the value of your directory and to encourage them go for your paid listings if one is available. Afterall, the no. of link directories these days are more and are increasing rapidly.

    Aaah, but you miss my point. I want to be ranked on YOUR site because your site is for webmasters. MY site is for people searching for X, Y or Z. They don't care (or even know) about rankings, alexa etc.

    I guess it comes down to a philosophical difference in how you view a directory... is the audience primarily
    1. Joe Average searching for widgets
    2. Webmasters looking for links
    I need webmasters but my primary audience is #1

    I hope I didn't miss the point. The real point is when a novice like me start a website, he/she believes strongly that they are going to get a huge traffic/business from the very next day. As days pass by ( within a month) they realise that they are nowhere near the dream point. This makes them understand the intricacies of the Internet ( eventually making them a webmaster) and they start to look for backlinks, PRs etc.

    Joe Average searching for widgets would only care about websites of locally known brands rather than what comes first in the search results.

    Yes, it is similar to the sites you have specified. However, the difference is the ranking is calculated every hour and that the ranking changes every hour or so.

    Also, it is an AD FREE site designed exclusively for the purpose it is meant.
