Good advice, but mind clarifing? Do users actually use directories to find what they need?
Submitting to directories is a week of hard work and i'm not sure they equal classified ads like a newspaper in being used by consumers. So my questions are: 1 ) Do users utilize directories? 2) Are they still considered valuable at increasing PR? Thanks for the time Incrediblehelp! Last edited by mjtaylor; 11-05-2007 at 09:14 AM.

That's a good point. Couldn't have said it better.

What's a good point?
That PR has no impact on a website's sucess? or That most web users perfer to use small directories instead of magor search engines like Google or Yahoo? PR does matter. It is used by Google and by Yahoo. I certainly agree that content is far more valuable, but PR gets that content looked at alittle closer. In fact our site provides an extensive Pet Advice Center Pet Advice Center We actually have several pet care books integrated into our free information for our pet supply custmers. Not to mention Pet Product Reviews. My question is valid & you do not hear many Modorators talking about directories much lately. Do users use directories and can they still assist with pr? Most directories I have submited to have "0" PR on the page I submit to and most of the dietctories look way too shakey for any user to bother utilizing. Please view this more still as a question and not just an opinion. If it has a defensive tone that is because incrediblehelp's replies are usually meant to be more hostile then helpful (no offense incrediblehelp, but scan through the list of your post).

Well that's that then!
I checked out your site and that certainly gives any posts you make the credibilty it needs! Last edited by mjtaylor; 11-05-2007 at 09:12 AM. Reason: sig had too many links |

It is to have such information.
I am sending my site immediately. I personally believe that PR would not be a matter of concern here. That's right if it had PR10 then may be it would have been costly. |

It have been always obvious that you should continiously try to get links for driving traffic to your site. But do you mean with your statement that PR is not important? I hope not.

most of the webmasters I guess wants a high PR for their site, linking to PR0 websites or Directories is not bad as long as it is free and no reciprocal.

As long as you have the time to submit, I don't see why anyone wouldn't submit to as many free directories as possible. It's the easiest way to get a lot of free links with whatever anchor text you choose. I wouldn't use directories as my only link-building method, but it's a good first step to establish a new site.

This is a great SEO directory for real US business:
Radiux It requires a valid US phone number for verification though. |

I think posting in forums is better

It would be if all the links counted; but you get one link and Google doesn't count them after that ... for SEO reasons you are *far* better off in directories.
Cheers, MJ

And posting in forums irrelevant to the member's site theme is not of any significant value.

I've been working on a web directory, myCityBusiness - Local Business Directory It is free to add your business, just make sure you use a valid email address and add mycitybusiness.net to your email filters.
I got sick of trying to find businesses online and none of them were near me. I actually drove 45 minutes to get a part and there was a business right down the road, but they weren't online and their Yellow Pages listing was vague. That why you can add your own key words. Check out the site, if you like it, let me know, if you see room for inprovement, let me know as well. Thanks. direct link to add listing: myCityBusiness - Local Business Directory Last edited by mjtaylor; 02-16-2008 at 11:16 AM. Reason: link not in sig block |

It sure runs quickly enough!
The newest member area of the home page needs some work to make it stand out as its' own entity. I'd put the vertical navigation back on the left side of the page where users expect to find it. The copyright notice font size should be smaller, certainly not bold and not larger than the text in the general content of the page.

thanks, much useful list for me
Please post more free high pr back links please, If you have Thanks again Last edited by mjtaylor; 02-16-2008 at 11:13 AM. Reason: link dropping |

Thanks Dubbya - I was trying for something a little different with the links on the right. I may move them to the left.
I agree with what you said about the Newest Member, I need to make it "pop". Originally the front page had a flash animation in that spot, but on IE 6 it took forever to load. It was only 120 kb, but the weird thing was that if I hit refresh while it was loading, it would pop right up - since it was inconsistant, and I feared it would scare off visitors with a slow load time, I dumped it. |

If you want to submit to my links directory at
http://www.shanemcdonald.org/links/ All submissions (as long as they are valid sites and entered intot he correct category) will be manually added and verified within 7 days. Enjoy! |

thanks again!
