Hello all Well basically in the past i had bad experiences with directory's (got de-ranked). Though still i seem to be hearing so much praise for them. The question is, which directory's have you had the most success SEO wise. This goes for paid and free directory's. Enlighten me. Cheers
Getting listed in http://www.dmoz.org gave me a significant boost in Googles SERP's. I always say DMOZ should be the first directory you submit too, too bad it can take years to get listed.
Bull shit. Our AMRAY Directory has no DMOZ listing and yet you can check Google and you will found that being listed in DMOZ means NOTHING and here is the proof Try Google for: top free directories best free directories best business directories free directories listing and in #1 our another directory not listed in DMOZ www.bestdirectorieslist.com Try: best directories list And finally, being listed in DMOZ or anywhere else has nothing to do with SERP. PR yes but I will take SERP over PR without any hesitation and questions asked. fastreplies
It's been stated before that Google directly relates to DMOZ as being the "unofficial" directory for legitimate websites. I'd say there is definitely some correlation between DMOZ submission and ranking well in PR. Always check out what websites are listed in the directory so you are not associated with a "bad neighborhood". That's why DMOZ is always a positive thing, Google KNOWS it's a GOOD neighborhood to be in. Now that being said, I would not put THAT much emphasis on DMOZ making or breaking a site in terms of SERP.
I have gotten listed for free in some good directories that were just starting out and they kept my link in after they were established and had PR and traffic. Very Rare that directories survive and make it well but some do if they are made by people in the know.
Great information. Well seeing as i'm weary about directory's i decided to pay someone on these forums to submit to their tried and tested solutions. Fingers crossed as i'm still not a 100% sure it's a great idea. Only time will tell Cheers
Yeah i have tried dmoz many times in the past. I'm sure i got listed once, though i looked the other day and that site isn't listed no more
manual directory submission help my site to rank well at search engine by supplying quality backlink everytime. I never take any service of automatic submission.
