I have a website, but have never really invested in money into it even though it's made money. I was considering submitting a link to Aviva or Alive, and I've done some research here on the forums about these directories, but have some questions. I'm wondering how valuable the link will be to me. Obviously, I don't have a lot of money to blow to submit a link for a year to the top 10 directories, but say I just did one for now of a top directory. How would it benefit me exactly? Yeah, I know about backlinks, but I also hear that links from a page stuffed with a bunch of other links aren't very powerful? My plan is to submit an article directory site of mine. I guess what I am hoping is that I will be able to get higher priority in the SERPs and then receive more traffic. Basically, I need to know, what can I expect from just submitting one link to a top directory, and then, will it be worthwhile? Just need some clarity before I invest.
getting links from trusted sites will help your serp and pr. i think both directories that you mention are trusted
A link from an authority directory could help a bit, Don't hold your breath, though There is a limit below wich any efforts are in vain.
