      I think a new list of the top 10 or 20 would suffice for the time being while the rest are being deteremined viable or not.

        thanks Petra, JoeAnt charges a onetime fee of $39.99 USD. I would rather pay the fee.

          The 3 resources you mentioned are stil valuable.

          A tipp regarding JoeAnt, it is quiet easy to become an editor there, then you don't have to pay for the input.

            In the meantime it might not be a bad idea to add a warning or just take it down.

              To be honest, it's more than a year out of date, and not the best resource. We've talked internally about a replacement, but need to spec it out and find a contractor (and we have so many other improvements/upgrades/features to PRO we're in the process of making).

              That said, I'll ask the team to look into it further. I do think a great directory list would be a valuable part of PRO content.

              postscript update: We have a project in process to replace this with something very cool, updatable and more scalable, too. I believe launch ETA is Q3 of 2011. Justin Briggs from Distilled and Cyrus Shepard from Moz are working on this together.

                NoFollow & Directory Scraper Backlinks

                I was wondering how important it was to remove/disavow: NoFollow backlinks - many ("buy viagra" etc). Directory backlinks - many questionable/generic directories. Obviously the focus is the equity passing links but both of the above constitute a significant proportion of backlinks to the site - I've seen that "scrapers" are seen as natural and obviously NoFollow do not pass link juice - but does the sheer number have a bearing and therefore make them equally important to address? Thanks in advance for your responses. Regards

                Paid Directory - Whitehat or Blackhat?

                Dear community, Just a quick question: Would you consider a directory as this one whitehat or blackhat SEO? http://mixyellowpages.com/cncat_add.php You can add link to 50 web directories. - No reciprocal link. - 100% approved within 48 hours. - Do follow link. - Get one way link from quality sites. - Pay only $ 15 No monthly fee. Our SEO-agency is using these kinds of directories, so I just wanted to make sure, that this is a) Whitehat-SEO and b) will not harm our rankings. Thanks,
                David

                Has anyone seen positive results from using Submiteaze to submit to directories? I know an SEM agency that uses it for clients' link building campaigns, but I don't know if it is worth buying. Are there better alternatives?

                I would like to start a link building initiative at my company for a new website, and would like to know if the value of the links built using Submiteaze would be worth the money.
