please mention some more informations such as what are the directorys you have been working with..

SanMarino,

First thing to consider is that most "directories" do not offer instant inclusion. Many better directory owners will verify links if they can, or at the least will have some measures to prevent "spammy" links from clogging up the works.

Also, your links from the directory also depend on the directory itself. If you are posting to little know or rarely visited directories, then the pages might not get indexed that often, even should your link be approved right away.

I have a link directory, which on a bad day might only get a couple of links, and on good days might get a few hundred. Today I got 9 new links to approve. but I still have 1300+ pending ones to approve.

If you want to I can PM you (OR ANY Warrior Forum members) and I will give you one free Featured listing. ( I do not promote with this directory, so you will not get any spam from me on it ) ;-)

There are some sites that maintain lists of active directories where they are approving links etc. That would be a good place to start. Directory Critic would be a good starting point.

Did you receive notice that your submissions were approved?

Did the directories have PR on inside pages?

Most directories are waste of time. Some are well worth the submission cost. It all depends on the directories you used.
