Actually I was thinking about that too, after I took a look at those directories, there is no valuable info only links to websites, is somebody using those directories for some another reason except back linking, don't think so.

Yeaa, looks like I did

, but I'll survive without those $5 somehow, at least get some experience.

Suggestions are always welcome

If you want to try a large number, just put your site in here and let it run: that'll give you over 2,500 free "directory-ish backlinks" of exactly the type typically sold at Fiverr. I don't suggest that they're really worth anything, though.

Well, this is very subjective.

It's possible that many of the "directories" to which your site was submitted may not themselves be indexed very often. Maybe your "number of backlinks" will grow over the next few weeks. But then again, maybe it won't really help, even if it does. And the tools we all use to check them are often fairly unreliable, too.

Alexa, this is pretty darn brilliant. Nice contribution. There is one pretty friendly SEO directory I mess with, and have used with clients that has gotten me great results: addurl.nu

Again, nifty tool.

Thanks

They probably won't show up here yet if you just ordered them, but head over to yahoo's site explorer HERE.

You can see how many backlinks you've got, and from where they are coming.

Hi,

I've used backlinkwatch on many occasions and it provides pretty good results and also shows the anchor text of the link.

  Both tools showing up the same results, none from those directories, most backlinks are from this forum.

You can get meaningful backlinks if you write nice articles and you submit them to websites that accept contributions from readers. Look for websites related to your topic, and you’ll get many backlinks from high PR websites just for submitting a few articles, or by writing a few comments under their articles (with your link. Don’t waste your time leaving comments in websites that don’t ask for your website’s URL).

I recommend Yahoo Site Explorer and Google Webmaster Tools for link checking.

I was in exactly the same situation. Purchased a cheap directory submission package and found only one indexed link as a result.

Move on and build quality links. And remember if it sounds too good to be true, then it probably is.

Thanks

You have two issues here...

1) In my experience directory back links have low value and there much higher valued back links out there - try .edu and .gov links instead.
2) Just having a link is useless if it not indexed and followed. Back links can take months/years to be found.

Nowadays I don't chase directory backlinks unless I want be placed higher in Google Places.

If you buy directory services use Universal Directory Listings(UBL) they generally get you listed where it matters! Fiverr is great but not for this kind of service.

Lastly, give the fivver guy a break, just don't leave him a comment at all!

Thanks

It is really best to check backlinks directly at the big three instead of relying on 3rd party sites.

Google: Google Webmaster Central. Get data about crawling, indexing and search traffic. Increase traffic to your site.

Bing: Bing Webmaster Tools

Yahoo: https://siteexplorer.search.yahoo.com/mysites

Maybe I'm doing something wrong, or I'm not checking in right way or with right software. I know that I have submitted my site to Digg, and my website is sitting there, but I don't see that link either.

I don't want to leave negative comment for that guy if I'm doing something wrong myself.

Be careful on fiver alot of people on there from experience are actully using bot softwere on fiverr.com a guy i was intrested in before who i will leave nameless sent me the same links claiming they were high pr links and after i checked the links they were just dns register sites that check the who is and ping links.

There are some okay people on fiverr dont get me wrong im not flaming anyone.

But i would use backllinkwatch.com or yahoo site explorer to check the links to your site.

hope that helps.

Simply,go to yahoo search explorer and enter the URL you want to check into the search box at the top.then,click on the "Explore URL" button.When the results appears,click on the button that reads "Inlinks".
These are the backlinks to your website.

Thanks

There is no 100% way to check backlinks, even with yahoo site explorer or good sites like backlink tracker, linkdiagnosis or using SEO Spyglass. There is always SOME hidden and there is NO way to see *all* backlinks.

And yes, directories are silly...furthermore it often takes time because directory owners manually approve links.

Waste your $5 on something other than directory "submission"....

profile links, blog commenting,directories, "I SUBMIT YOUR SITE TO 900 SEARCH EIGNES" etc...is all nonsense. Seriously. When do people wake up?

Thanks
