Will bid for position directories stick around?

Nahh... Certainly you don't need to prove that point What I was saying above is a way of looking towards ONE side of the picture.

And that is the Other side. And yes, quality speaks the price, I know that very well. I was not denying it before, I only wanted to say that if one is bidding $500 for a link and can see his site on the main page (that feels great, isn't it?), be ready because in the next 5-10 minutes you might have to add $300 more to get the same spot.

 

Why is everybody so focused on the home page ... ?

Yes you get bragging rights and those links are indexed pretty quickly. But there are plenty of spaces one level down that are available for just a few bucks.

When Chris does hit PR7 there are category pages that will very likely hit PR6 and most of those are cheap!
The same is true for the alphabetic bid directories ... as long as your site does not start with 'A'.

As with any auction there are some really good deals ... you have got to dig a little deeper for the bargains.

 

Bid for position directories is better than word clond anyway. You can get a backlink by only $1.

 

I think the well promoted ones will stick around, for instance Bigweblinks.com is promoted very heavily and when it comes to the right time.. i'm sure people will be bidding for a homepage PR6-7 link on it...

 

One of the reasons my directories do well because I have more on it, like the forum, the blog etc. Tools sections etc. You have to think outside of the box.
