a free link is a free link, but the first web directory has a PR of zero.
how much good is this going to do my site?

exactly. and part of the reason we acquired them is to build them up... or do we honestly think they will be at a low PR forever?

Now that you're acquiring web directories, I might know of a few (ahem) web directories that might be available.
In fact, I bet there's a lot of people out there that have web directories that were built about 2-3 years ago when it was "fashionable" and "trendy" to build a web directory about something "in their niche". Now it appears that everyone's jumping on the "social media" bandwagon and creating "social" sites. Keep in mind that when you're adding sites to web directories, I would look for a few things: - make sure that the page where your site is going to be listed doesn't have "issues" like being grey-barred (or PR0, etc.) - make sure that the page where your site is going to be appear is indexed. - it might not be a bad idea to look at the sites already listed on that page where your site is going to be listed and make sure that the directory is showing as a backlink (check Yahoo! using the linkdomain:domain.com search). - make sure your site is going to be listed in an on-topic category - make sure your site is going to appear on a page without a ton of other links (when I say "a ton" I mean typically 100+ links on the page.

Now that these directories have been bought by Ientry I am sure they are going to become more and more relevant. If we add to them, they will become more and more relevant. Sounds like we're getting in on the ground floor for free.
Now who's complaining about getting something for nothing....? Help you are a good and wise man but your posts have always seem to run in the "if you build it they will come" philosophy and I think SEO is still breathing. Especially when your in the top ten of google/yahoo/msn and what seperates you from your competition is 1/100th of a percent, your looking for any edge. I'll take this one (well I already did) and even if it goes no where, it was worth every penny

Feel free to correct me if I'm mistaken but I don't recall anyone advocating "build it" and sit back on your hands and do nothing. Again, please correct me if I'm mistaken, but you leave me with the impression that you think SEO is no longer breathing. Dave |

it is interesting how we value something that is free.

Thanks for the list. Actually, i25hotlanes isn't exactly free - it does require a reciprocal link. I tried to submit a site but it would not accept my submission because I hadn't provided the address of a reciprocal link. I may add a couple of the others to my list of quality free directories at General & Niche Directories - Free Website Submissions next time I update it. Thanks! best, Denise Last edited by emptymirror; 06-25-2007 at 08:59 PM. |

The toolbar PR is 3-4 months behind what Google internal PR is for each web document. Google does a PR export 3-4 times a year. When conducting SEO I really dont see a reason to involve PR for the toolbar.

Hi Chris,
Nice directories. I have submitted my websites in some of these directories. I hope, they will be accepted. |
|
|||
|
i25hotlanes is now fixed.
|
|
|||
|
PR is over rated. I have submitted to about 20 "free web directories" and only 1 or 2 have included my websites. So I quit submitting to directories.
Thanks in advance for providing truly free web directories.

Free is Free what more does anyone expect, be grateful be happy. Thank you
Without going off topic a lot of the directories appear to be using PHPLD script, I am considering a lingerie and clubwear directory project is this a good piece of software to use, other PHPLD directories appear to do well with the old google PR bar, dont get me wrong I ain't a PR junkie.

I've hit the "mother load" in terms of free directories indexes. It's been a busy morning and my poor little fingers are plumb tuckered out.
Most of the sites listed on Directory Critic are small directories with a PR5 or less and I have not submitted to every single one. Some require reciprocal links, most don't. It's your choice to whether you take advantage of free links. Either submit your site or don't. Just don't complain. Free Directory List - Directory Critic

All directories have different guidelines and its worth reading through them before submitting. Sorry to sound patronising (unintentional) but I used to get rejected from directories and I don't now for that reason. I hope it does help. |

One must remember not to link to your content unless it is within a vertical market. Otherwise, the links are worthless. General directories no longer are of value as far as Google is concerned.

Chris, thanks for accepting my site! One question if it's no trouble, I'm languishing at the bottom here:
Add Link Suggest - Add Your Link - Sports With PR0 next to me - pretty sure I have a fairly solid 4 which would put me on the page one results (the page with some PR Or, do you know something about my PR that I don't? Yikes! Before anyone jumps on that statement, yes I know TBPR isn't something I should fret over - stats/visitors is the key. But by the same token, everyone wants to be on page one I would imagine - wherever that page may be. By the by, very much enjoying the WPW forums. You've got a nice site here, and just as important, some knowledgeable posters & moderators. I'm walking with giants

I think PR is not overated because it is very important for you website position, at least in Google search engine so you can't under estimate its value. My opinion.

RedCarpetRank.com today, before I noted this post. Somebody that has an idea of how to get most out of it? Options
That it is free, low or high priced does not imply that the link to the site will be included. Your sites are of course candidates. <My compact story>: It is very easy to get green Google rank of 3 or less. Experienced that with my first sites. I have stopped submitting, since I have more important things to do. That does not mean that I will not do it in the future. One of the best resources / links is the last in my signature. Some people and even webmasters have thanked for that link. I have not done a singel submission on that link. It is included in my link farm, though. So if somebody need one in my view quality link, include the last in your directory, site. Don't email me. You may PM me here at WPW if you are serious. </My compact story>

Hello, I have been told that my website Projector Discount Store-Infocus,Epson,NEC,Toshiba,Sharp,Viewsonic has a canonical domain name issue and my url seesion id's are not suppressed for se robots. I have asked my web company to redirect the Projector Discount Store-Infocus,Epson,NEC,Toshiba,Sharp,Viewsonic to the www. address with a 301 error code tellling the client (browser or crawler) that the page has to be requested from Projector Discount Store-Infocus,Epson,NEC,Toshiba,Sharp,Viewsonic Now the url issue: here is an example of one of my page url's http:// www projectordiscountstore.com/store/index.php?cpath=104&osCsid=f3d683eb30ee16a756a ebo84544ea63d I am trying to understand what needs to be changed? Does the osCid and cpath need to be removed?Should my keywords appear in my url's? I assume that after my url's are changed that I will have to submit a new sitemap to google.

A web directory is highly useful resource in SEO.
It helps search engines to gather more and more information at one place. have a look to Positionit plus directory |

I haven't seen a post from a moderator in here for awhile (maybe I missed it), but I love to hear wheather submitting to directories is still worthwhile for increasing page rank?
