Seems like we all work on the same rule: PR and the Owner. Knowing the owner's reputation well, is a good thing, but, knowing that the owner will not shut down his directories within 5 months is a better thing.
Very true irka knowing that the site will be around a long time is an essential point that has to be considered before you purchase
PR, Design and Price. I tried to design my site based on this. I am hoping ppl will pay a low price now for the hopes of a high PR later and then later the prices will go up once the PR and traffic go up.
Design and Pr of internal categories and ofcourse owner of directory..Normally i submit in coolweb's directories without looking at pagerank Saad
Pagerank on the category page the link will actually appear on telling me that the directory has been around for a while and will be around for a while into the future Design Price
I told you i was taking no prisoners for that spot hehe. Im sure someone will eventually take it down
yes, when you are paying the reputation of the owner is important. that's the only way to know your links are safe or not. why pay, when free is available. well there are a lot of reasons to it, when you pay you are sure of the link, say you bought a permanant link then you can be rest asured that your link will stay there for a long long time, if you are not scamed!
Well ... 1. PR on the inner catagory im adding my link on..... what your index page PR is,... i could care less, as it doesnt do anything for me but allow me to brag that minz is bigger then yours 2. Directory Owner... If your a ripoff or dirtbag that removes links, then you cant be trusted and i see no reason to feed your craving for your ill ways... 3. Pricing If you think your sites better then the rest because you can offer more then the next guy then great ill buy if its within reason... No $80 + dollors for a link.... your dreamin and your directory will continue to be linkless as im not a fool and wont pay that type of money as im not rich. your price has to be reasonable... thx malcolm
traffic is important, i mainly buy links for traffic since i read http://www.mattcutts.com/blog/text-links-and-pagerank
