Suspicious reprocical links from free directories?
- SEO |
As far as I know, listing your site in the directories, and giving backlinks to them is considered an ok practice by google.
But, what if, suppose a directory tells you to link to another site?
I just came by to website called 'dirbit.com' and I can't find anything about it. And when I signed up for that directory thay gave me a link to 'focuspal.com' that shows a 404 error in Chinese.
After I inserted the link, it said the listing will be checked before posted.
Anyway, that's kinda very strange behavior, and yet it's got a good keyword ranking, high pr and competitive alexa rating.
Can someone advice if it's a scum, and if it is, then what's the whole point of it? I just don't get, at all.
And I also would like to generalize, if any other directory would give a reciprocal link to some other domain, should we call the alert and don't deal with them?
