Hi, Today I was doing directory submission and noticed that allmost all directories, no matter PR on main page (PR4 or PR5) have no PR on internal pages (2 clicks from main page). Why?
Hello.. seems to me your hitting all the wrong directories then... It would seem that if a directory or website has no content listed within those sites that google isnt coming back to them to save time so i belive thats why many now have grey bar syndrome... sleek and king have PR within as well as alot of other quality directories alive,aviva,forplex,dump,!ASK!, and many more just shop around you will be able to see the differences thx malcolm
well, here directory wherer i was few minutes ago http://www.thalesdirectory.com pr4 http://www.thalesdirectory.com/index.php?list=top pr2 (seems directory enough old yeah?) but now category pages http://www.thalesdirectory.com/Internet_Software/Software_Tools_Utilities/ http://www.thalesdirectory.com/Internet_Software/ http://www.thalesdirectory.com/Health/Medicine/ they have pr0. and simular picture i saw on many directories today.
I think its 'fair play' if you contact the directory owner to state his case Thats the best way forward, rather than have the directory evaluated here as the valuations here might be incorrect imho Of course some DP folks might have the 'inside track' on this directory
Yes i see... But like i said if the directory didnt get PR last time then those areas are now grey until google comes again to evaluate that catagory. If that catagory is poor in content or the links listed are of poor quality then it reflects that catagories PR as well as the directory... ( My theory only ) thier are many that do offer you inner PR as mentioned above look at those directories and see if YOUR catagory offers what you seek then submit... Do remeber that every update google will look back and see what if any changes have happened then will re-evalute that catagory thx malcolm
britishguy, thank you for reply, but as I said I have more examples. thalesdirectory.com was just one. Other one here http://www.poozl.com/ (pr4) http://www.poozl.com/Software_252_0.html (pr3 1 click from main page) http://www.poozl.com/Computers_Software_Utilities_3519_0.html (pr0 2 clicks) http://www.poozl.com/Software_252_1.html (pr0 2 clicks)
I depends on the directory. For example, my directory: http://directory.branica.com - pr6 http://directory.branica.com/Business_and_Economy/ - pr4 http://directory.branica.com/Business_and_Economy/Directories/ - pr4 I think another metric is the number of indexed pages of a directory. You should look for directories that have over 50% of it pages not in the supplemental index. How? "site:directoryurl" in google without the quotes and then do "site:directoryurl *** -blah" without the quotes again to see how many pages are supplemental. You many need to click on the "repeat the search with the omitted results included" link to see the full number of pages in the supplemental index.
Theres a lot of this going on, I have a directory added to a site domain, it was a Pr3 for the directory with all 2 and 1 categories, since the last update only the HP has PR, the rest are grey. It seems that most of the newer directory sites suffered this on the last update. I don't have time for mine atm, so have not promoted it so io don't get many submissions, perhaps it's the lack of additions which is affecting it!
i dont know which sites you are going to ... come to right one .. even my site which is only 4 months old .. www.idk.in - PR 5 http://www.idk.in/Computers/Directories_/ - PR 3 http://www.idk.in/Business/ - PR 3 Or Maybe one of my fav sites ------------------------- http://www.ewebpages.org/ - PR 6 http://www.ewebpages.org/Web-Directories/ - PR 6 http://www.ewebpages.org/Web-Directories/Paid/ - PR 5 (Paw! this is the category inside a category) ------------------ http://www.directorydump.com/ - PR 6 http://www.directorydump.com/internet/ - PR 5 http://www.directorydump.com/internet/ - PR 5 http://www.directorydump.com/internet/directories/paid/ - PR 5 Crap there is no deep otherwise tht wud be a pr 5 too go to some good dirs ... ask me i 'll tell u a handfull of them
Agreed but look into your third level... thiers no sites listed so thierfor No pr listed as it has NO content ... (ON SOME) as i did notice that thier IS on others so the pr flowed into them ... supplementals are just that.... catagories that google doesnt wish to come back to regularly as their inst much change happening so it doesn't wish to spend time crawling them as other pages like you've listed.. Also im just curious as to why you dont have a nice template on that PR6 directory? thx malcolm
The secret with quality directories is to get a list which is respected by experienced webmasters and much referred to like Aviva's Strongest Directory list. These days there are many people which are becoming famous with the TERM QBCs are buying old -unused domains with PR, installing Directory Scripts and are looking for some quick bucks. Those type of directories are growing very fast giving bad names to quality directories referred above. As they are using old-domains with PR, naturally their innerpages don't have any PR. So if you are serious about finding Quality directories -you can follow the above list for Paid directories and follow Free Qaulity Directories list for Free directories.
Supplemental affect all sites but it is important for link buyers since typically you would like to get a link that is in the primary index. Yeah I noticed that my third level and lower pages are PR 0 (gray bars are supposedly a bug within google but who knows). I am working on those pieces of my directory in the coming weeks. Oddly, some of my fourth level pages have PR. Who can figure out Google really? And yeah perhaps I should invest in a nice template. I guess I was too busy getting the directory indexed and promoted. akor I don't understand your question.
Believe this argument to some extent. My multi-level directory has PR on all second level categories. But many third level categories do not have PR- because no content. On the other-hand there are some third level categories -which have good PR without content. Very confusing indeed. Only Google know how the bots work.
Yes it does take time for PR to filter down, maybe categories have been added recently or it will just take a couple more updates for the PR to get down some of those inner categories. If you listing is permanent it is still a good investment. But if a directory like that has a yearly listing fee and it takes another 6 months for your category to get PR then it might not be such a wise investment.
Depends on directory to directory.. If a directory is built on an expired PR4 domain - than there would be no category PR.. So check whether they are build on expired domains ? There can be some instances where you can find.. PR4 homepage while category and subcategory pages as PR5-- www.bqtm.com
Quick Buck Crew. Most people here like to think that anyways, wondering what's the definition of how long you it takes before you fall out of that category, a year, two, three?
I belive this is what they call "run over" where Pr has seeped into those catagories as the 2nd category is very strong and this often occurs in some directories... though im not an expert on this issue but have heard this is why it happens My Glossary of terms of QBC .... 1. An individual whom always wants something for free and or expects things handed to them for their own benefit with a total disregard to the individual makers (Creators) time and effort... in short the Quick Buck Crew 2. An individual whom purchases domains with PR that are irrelevant to the directory they are placing it on with the intentions of making fast sells and then selling the directory "if possible" after they cant afford hosting fees. EX: Dentist4life.net and making it a general directory or something truelly irrelevant Everyone has theirs is suppose http://www.quickbuckcrew.com/ .... thx malcolm
