Hi all! I have this question that might sound dumb to many of you, but i ll go ahead I found some directories, let's say that have PR5. They offer to add my link and 3 deep links for 10$ - but what is the benefit for doing that? As I understand my website will not get a PR5 because of it, in fact will my PR be affected in any way at all? Also, paying for getting listed in such directory is the same thing as doing it for free, right? Because they offer a free submission but claim it might take over a month to get listed... Also, I noticed that HOME page of many Web directories is PR4-6, however, when you select a category, let's say SPORT > Snowboarding - so you see a list of sites related to that subject, PR of this exact page is usually N/A to 1. So... I am getting a backlink from a PR0 or PR1 site? What is the point of that? Thanks for the replies, Alex
u have a lot of homework to do to understand what are u talking about.if u browse this category u will find intresting thing about the topic u r refering.just a heads up i notice from my directory a site that have only 2 links from my 2 directories after 2 pr updates it was submited get a pr2 but this is very rare and depents for many factors so probably is a dumb question thats why u havent got any answers so far
A quick answer that might satisfy you is that you will not get a PR5 link you will get what ever PR that the sub-category is. There are to many factors to consider for me to say that what your page rank will be. As for paying, it's your choice. You will get reviewed faster with a payed link, but if you don't really care too much about time then I say that you should just take the free link. There is a good chance that you will be accepted unless your website is complete junk. If so, then you shouldn't bother submitting it to any directory.
