Are they paid directories? If so, probably not worth it. There are very few directories out there worth paying for. So many free ones you can get decent links from, just worry about those. Only pay for a directory if you think it can actually bring you quality traffic. Never pay for perceived link value as it's usually very low anyway.

Raising a page in search engines - My plan - Thoughts...

I am trying to put forward a strategy for my company on how to create content, then follow it up with link building and social posts in hope to build the page rank in search engines like Google. Can you please take a look at this and let me know your thoughts? I have read the MOZ help documentation about search and want to see what you guys think. This is not a local search, we are a national website selling products throughout multiple offices. So we are trying to rank for certain keywords. This is what we have come up with. Any help/opinions would be greatly appreciated! Step 1: Create a page around the keyword that we want to rank for. The page must be well written, contain content which is engaging and may be hard to get this content elsewhere. The page may contain a video with further information on the topic. Of course the correct tags must be present (H1), page titles, etc. Step 2: Once the page is created it is time to start getting people to see the page. This is where we start with social media. Making a post about the page and getting people to see it. (Facebook, LinkedIn, Google Plus, Twitter, etc.) Step 3: Press release. When sending out press releases on topics related to the page, we can link to the page in the release. Step 4: Articles on industry websites. Try to get industry websites to write an article on a certain topic that we specialize in. If they can link to the page we created in the article, it would help. (Sites with high page ranks and .edu websites are extra powerful.) Thanks for reading.

Gained my first quality link, was it worth 2 hours of work?

Hello,
I'm a newbie. I'm building a brand new site. In a niche service business, worldwide.
Today I gained my first link, I tried to reach to the highest qualify link I could identify.
I'd like to know if you think my two hours effort was worthy, or laughable. Because I can gain other 3 or 4 links from other domains working like that. I tell you where is my first link: the top domain is in the same niche business, DA 79
My link is in a subdomain page (always in the same niche business) that has: 20 other links (mine is the only external dofollow) Domain Authority 79 /100 Page Authority 31 /100 Page Link Metrics Just-Discovered 79 in 32 Days Established Links 1 Root Domain 4 Total Links the homepage of the subdomain has Page Authority of 66 /100 Page Social Metrics 0 0 0 0 0 I'd appreciate any feedback.

Keyword use in online directories

I have been adding our website to online directories which quite often allow me to add a brief description of the organization and add a list of Key words. With regards to the keywords should I list keywords from the organisiantion description that I have entered on the site or should I use the key words that we are trying to rank for, that don’t necessarily feature in the description on the site

Should I use the Root domain as a landing page for 2 languages?

Dear Sirs, I am developing a site www.mysite.com , this site has content in spanish www.mysite.com/es and in english www.mysite.com/en I would like to know if for SEO purposes if it would be good to have an enter page (landing page) at the root of the domain www.mysite.com where the users can choose the language, so I can get backlinks from both languages to the home page in this case the enter page. The thing is for spanish I dont see many seo resources so this way I can get links for the homepage www.mysite.com from english and spanish resources. and then focus in each folder language to get links for each one, english link sfor /en and Spanish Links for /es Thanks in advance, David

How do directories that pull listings from DMOZ work?

I've listed an example below. I see these all the time, where a directory pulls it's listings from DMOZ. So you would naturally assume that if you're in DMOZ, you would get these links, but that's not the case. This particular link was picked up by OSE so I'm wondering what the quality of these links really are and if they're legit? Also, if you go to the main subdomain the page just says "Buy shirts". What is the deal with these types of so-called "directories"? http://www.searches.org/go/search/Shopping/Home_and_Garden/Furniture/ Another example: http://www.westcairn.com/furniture.htm

Doing Local Directories for Online Stores?

I am working with some customers on SEO and wonder what to do about directories when they have an online store only. They do not want to list their home address (if they did would this be a good idea?). I know the big push now is for local directories so I'm wondering if anyone has tips for other types of directories to get into that aren't spammy. Or tips for doing SEO for sites that are online only? I know Rand talked a lot about the importance of being "real" with an about us page, contact us, etc. on his Future of Link Building Webinar and I'm wondering how to best make that work in this situation when they can't show themselves as real by being in local directories.
