Anyone have a list of paid directories?
-
I want to get into some good paid directories, but every list I have found out there is either just a top ten and repeats the same ones or is a list of 500 where I know most are worthless.
Has anyone submitted to paid directories that has a list of good ones that are actually worth submitting to?

Just wanted to leave a quick note saying that SEOmoz has upgraded the Link Directory! You can view a post Cyrus wrote with more information about the directory updates and link building via directories at http://www.seomoz.org/blog/seo-link-directory-best-practices. It isn't paid directories specifically, but it is a freshly reviewed list that should help you out.

I am currently debating the cost vs value of one of our business.com links. It's $300 per year, and our page we are on has a mozRank of 2.37 and mozTrust of 5.36 for the category we are in. However, every link on that page, except for 3 (including ours) is no followed. Essentially we only have to share the link juice with 2 other companies. I'm just not sure that it's still worth the $300 though with such a low mozRank. Anyone else have any thoughts on that?

I guess I'm going to just use a bunch of the random lists out there and go through each one individually to let you know if they still work or whatever. This could be a while...

Thanks a lot by those recommendations.
I would give you some if I had found any on this range , currently the only one i knew was the JoeAnt one

Read this and bug Rand about it:
http://www.seomoz.org/q/is-this-directory-guide-by-seomoz-still-accurate

Some recent ones I have been using is:
Einet.net (PR8)
JoeAnt
BOTW
V7N (often have discount codes in the V7N directory forum)
Galaxy
And I would LOOOVE if someone returned the favor by suggesting more high-authority paid directories in the $15-$75 range too!

Hi Daniel,
I don't have a list but i have recently seen some benefit from business.com. It's not the cheapest directory at around $300 per year but you might be able to find a coupon code on google.
Best of luck
Ben

Links from Directory Websites with NoFollow Tag
In reviewing our root domain links, I noticed that many of the directories (like Yellow Pages, Insider Pages, Merchant Circle, etc) that there are no follow codes included in the link to our website. Is this a common practice for these directories? Also, I wanted to confirm that this would not help in our link building strategies with any relevant "link juice." Below is a copy and pasted (with some extra characters that shouldn't have copy and pasted), but the key note here is the no follow tag that was included in this link to our site. Visit Website Thanks as always MOZ Community - cheers!

Anyone seeing a big drop in links showing in Google webmaster tools?
Over the last week I have seen a big drop in links to us showing in Google Webmaster tools. The links are still there on sites that rank well including some from National newspapers. However the link count has dropped from over 4000 to less than 40 on approx 5-6 sites. Ranks etc are staying the same its just a bit of a strange thing as they still show in Majestic and Open site explorer.

Getting two BOTW.org listings? Regular drirectory + blog directory?
I have a start-up website. It's a niche market that's not all that competitive. I'm trying to get going with some basic link building, and I'm trying to focus for the time being on some recommended directories: BOTW, yahoo, business.com, etc. I already have a regular BOTW directory listing, accepted a few days ago. I'm wondering if it's worth also getting a BOTW blog directory listing? So two BOTW listings, the first pointing to the homepage, the second would point to the blog. If there is meaningful link juice to be passed, would there be an advantage of having two links? Or will the one I already have suffice? Also, since the site is new, I only have a few blog posts. Is BOTW likely to reject me because my blog is too thin? The posts I have are content-heavy (1000-2500 words per entry), but there's just not a large total quantity yet. Normally I wouldn't consider it, but they're having a cyber-monday sale today where it's 50% off the regular price, so it makes the decision easier. Thanks.

How do I remove bad web directory listings?
I am starting SEO for an E commerce website. I guess like 1 year or two ago they had another SEO company working for them. After looking in Site explorer I realized that they have like 2000 links (almost all from website directories) that have the correct anchor text but are all in the wrong categories, and most from countries like china and india. Many of the Titles are even in Chinese. This company sells packaging supplies and they are in categories like real estate, animals, and so on. I am changing the domain name, so I guess any links to internal pages will be lost, however I have to forward the main domain to my new domain, so any links to the home page will still be there. Does anyone know how I can remove these links??

Is purchasing internal page links from directories worth it?
Since data suggests that only the first link on a page to a singular URL is counted, are the deep links purchased from directories worth the money/provide any value?

Can anyone provide any useful insights on how they use latest news items to help with SEO?
Hello, I have heard about SEO's and PR types riding off the back of latest news items that can be tied to the products or services they are trying to promote. Recently I read about how an SEO had distastefully written an article using the name of a famous singer who had sadly passed away and used this event as an opportunity to write about a small business models 😞 Can anyone provide any useful AND ethical insights on how they use latest news items to help with SEO?
