Hi everybody, What do you think about Directory Features links? Are these links help to generate website traffic or increase page rank?
Do you Submitting your url to directories? If so, yes it does increase your traffic but don't expect too much out of it. Concerning PR so I'm not sure because most of the directories I have found do mostly not have a high PR itself to get some jiuce out of them and the links to your site are to more than 90% nofollow links. Try to create valueable backlinks in other ways too, like blog comments, article submissions, press releases or posting in forums. Try to find to your website theme related websites and ask them to put a link to your site on their site. Most likely they will ask for a reciprocal link. Just check if the posted urls are dofollow or nofollow. Yahoo and Bing still ignore the nofollow tag, google does respect it and so the links to your site tagged with nofollow are only good for creating some traffic but not for Google PR.
yes directories are help to generate website traffic and increase page rank in google. But this will works to slowly as well as.
Directories help a long way but be sure they have high PR otherwise its just a waste of time also be careful not to submit your site to link farms you might even lose your present rankings. Nick Anderson Astraxis
