Has anybody tried these guys before or anything similar?

I think if you're questioning it yourself, then you already have a big clue to the answer
I'm learning the hard way that quick attempts to build generic directory links in the past were very short lived, so building links from sites that I would use/visit myself is usually quite a good starting point, it takes more time in acquiring them, but they're going to be good for the long term.
Good luck!

Is this directory submission site worth the money?
No.
Storwell, I think you are experienced enough to know a "good" directory from a bad one. This directory is clearly a bad one.
1. It offers a service whereby you pay to get submitted to hundreds of free directories. Awful.
2. If offers free links. I tried looking for some of the free links and couldn't even find them in OSE.
3. If offers paid links and lists them as "featured". These would be considered paid links by Google, they are marked by the "Featured" label and therefore would be devalued.
4. The directory has no posted standards, and as such would have any links devalued.
5. The site itself is very low quality. The PR shows as a 3. I rarely ever check a site's PR, but the DA of 8x led me to check and it just shows their DA is jammed pack with tons of worthless links to offer the appearance the directory has value.
If the site's home page is PR3, figure the first level category page is PR2 and the second level is PR1. In other words, even if somehow you got a link which actually passed PR, it would be a very low amount.

The directory looks ok with a decent PA. I would just make sure you submit your site to the appropriate category.

Directory listings for a new site and it's implications on SEO
Hi all, In classic newb style I have submitted my new site to several uk directory listings after seeing these listings used by competitors, both local and national. I chose ones with a low-spam score as shown on the Moz site explorer. Now my domain score has jumped up several places over a few days, as has my search position, but will these listings "hurt" in the future? I fully intend on chasing and gaining non-quick'n'easy links in the future for he record. Many thanks!

Should I post an article to the same article site each month or should I vary the sites I post them to?
Hi Community,
Link Building | | acs111
Im planning on creating an article each month centred around 1 keyword.
Is it best to post this to the same site. eg http://ezinearticles.com/ every month or should I try to post it to a mixture of different sites? I'm trying to rank a site higher for their chosen keyword by gaining links from anchor text within each article I create.0 -
What if trusted sites in your niche have low authority?
What if the most trusted sites in your niche have relatively low authority? Should you still spend a lot of resources to get those links or go after easier links with higher link authority (as determined by MozRank)?

Linkbuilding to development site
We're creating a new website for a client, and we have already started link building to the pages, including some deep landing pages. Currently the site is blocked from being indexed - we're just concerned that there may be issues when we launch the site as there will be a lot of links pointing towards the pages from day 1. Are we ok to continue link building?
