Good back link directories

11 years ago

Submitting your website to directories is these days a waste of time...

Think about it this way...
If you are submitting your content for backlinks, so are hundreds of other people.

You should aim to get backlinks from places that are not flooded with links to other websites.

Why is that people who know the least are talking the most?

Duh... maybe because nobody but directories has been link to them?
I wouldn't link to your site if my life depends on it but AMRAY Web Directory would
because this is the only place that would because of it purpose.

Logic of monkey that foraging for bananas on trees that ain't have any left.

Let me show you something
AMRAY - 50 Strongest best of the web Free and Paid Web Directories List
That page was visited over 10 millions times, are you saying that you don't want to
have link from that page just because there are at least 50 links to other sites?

So, you do?
Why don't you tell us how?

Nice to see that you're literally right

You're wrong, there are superb general directories around with authorities greater than niche.
Just check link to Directories Industry reviews site and maybe, just maybe you will change your mind

Can you blame them for being paid so they cay keep higher standards?
BTW, you still can submit your site to AMRAY for free if it meets a few of conditions
and get back not 1, not 2 or 3 but 6 backlinks from at least 6 different pages.

I guess I should've been more specific.

There might be directories that match your topics or geographical location, or they seem good for some other reason. It's certainly possible to find a decent page from a generic directory. It's also possible that these generic directories are completely worthless depending on your case. They seem to be really US-centric, for example. The page you'd be interested in could be a subcategory of a subcategory of a subcategory, in which case you'd need to investigate wether there's any benefit to be had.

My "99% garbage" figure also includes the IM crap version of directories. You know, the pure spam shites that the owners arbitrarily call directories for no particular reason.

I don't blame them, or even lament the fact. If there's a decent directory, and you can expect your link to land on a strong page that has reasonably low number of OBLs that's worth at least $xx/y in my opinion.

Links in signature will not help your SEO. Not on this site, and not on any other forum.
Who told me this? An ex Google web spam engineer.

What's your excuse?

I get it, you are promoting a directory, no need to attack me for my opinion.
Wow, your directory is displaying it`s Page Rank on the home page...that is very useful....now I will submit all my websites to it.

I admit that I formulated my answer the wrong way. SOME directories are still useful, especially if your aim is to get TRAFFIC from them.
Talking about backlinks? Just you wait, in the future Google is going to make ALL the directories add the nofollow attribute to every link because that`s just the way Google works, we`ll see then how much SEO potential these directories will have.

Explaining the flow of link juice? I`m too lazy to draw up a diagram for you, but I`m sure you can find everything you want with a search on Google.

TL,DR: There are still some directories that will bring you traffic, but please let`s not talk about SEO. I have been ranking my websites all this time without feeling the need to get "quality backlinks" from directories and they are doing just fine.

Thanks

Basically not yours, you’re just repeating other people opinion and what they’re saying.

I don’t think so and here is why. As of now AMRAY Web Directory is getting somewhere around
2% of traffic from Google and if you think it will drop on its knees just because little prostitute wish so,
think again. As to SEO value now and then, well… G. uses 48,000 pages from AMRAY Directory
not because of backlinks but because of content which is, trust me, going to be there no matter what.

I don’t blame you or others for being very little or not at all aware about inside of directories day to day
operations or traffic or clicks sites are receiving and if even you’re getting your traffic info from Alexa,
then that would be only around 10% of total visits and if you add another90%, you may found that
directories ain’t dead and doing better than you will ever know.

You should snap out from G’s state of hypnosis and accept as true the fact that there is
life beyond Google. In 2007 when G. dropped our PR from 7 to 4 and manually kept it there,
we made cognizant decision to ignore G. and we still do.

As to PR we’re posting, oh well, it’s there because lazy “SEO Pros” would sent us emails
asking ‘what is your PR’ but now as soon as we will change script, it’s gone.

You don`t care about Google, but you claim your directory can help with SEO. ( I also wouldn`t care if I only received 2% traffic from G

) )
I really like the origin of your traffic...
You know what? I said, what I had to say, I`m not giving you more attention to promote that directory. Good luck with it. Who need Google when we have Amray, right?
All hail Amray!

Thanks
