_Eternal dilemma of an SEO professional. Since you are there to build links, you have to think about building links and this is exactly where the problem creeps in. Rather take a different approach here. Think like a general user. Would you love to see your website listed in that directory? Do you believe that that the directory in question would be able to drive some traffic to your website? If the answer is yes, go ahead mate. Get your website listed there. Google or no Google, your website is going to get benefited at the end. _

When I said " good directories " I meant http://www.seomoz.org/directories/ Do you think these directories will cause Penguin signal to be triggered ? As of my 2nd advice, do it on the right pace. Few factors need to be determine how much to do per x time. Obviously I will agree that directories submission you can find on commercial seo tools will trigger Penguins signals and one should avoid them. Are we good?
-
Do you have an explict answer to those questions that will avoid a Penguin problem?

Guys, why to be negative? Today is December 25th
Mr. Singh didn't say what "Directory submission" he meant. There are very good directories that we have to use, anybody disagree?
Regards the other part of "day limit" for Directory submission, the pace is all based on two factors:
- how many links and their quality you have now?
- can you keep the same pace overtime month in, month out?
-
I more or less agree with EGOL. Directory Submissions are a thing of the past and are likely to get you in trouble nowadays. Getting backlinks is becoming harder and harder everyday. You need to diversify more and make sure that all those links to you look as natural as possible. It's not a bad thing to do linking yourself to get that initial push but the best possible linking strategy is a naturally occurring one. Make sure you use all relevant social avenues open to you... Facebook pages, G+, LinkedIn, Pinterest, Instagram, StumbleUpon, and so on as long as it make sense for your site to be there and you keep up with posting. Hopefully those will generate natural links back to your site as people learn who you are and grow to like your site.

Thank you sir for valuable suggestion, So what link building strategies shall i apply to get rank my keywords in Google 1st page.
-
I think that they can be harmful to your site - especially if you use keyword anchor text.
If these are the only types of links that you have, I think that your site will be hit by Penguin.
-
I dint get you sir.
-
If you do one or two per day... it will be enough to get you in trouble by the end of next year.

No-follow for article directory?
My clients pull from a central article directory on our server (medical directory), as the information is about standard medical issues. This said, the MOZ analytics is showing these articles for each client as indexed and duplicate in content, descriptions, titles, etc. Would it be better to use a no-follow for these articles to avoid looking like duplicate content, or should I consider overhauling the resource section into static pages and making each article unique to each client-considering the latest updates in Google? Any help/insight would be greatly appreciated!!!!! Thanks

Too Many Page Links
I have 8 niche websites for golf clubs. This was done to carve out tight niches for specific types of clubs then only broadens each club by type - i.e. better player, game improvement, max game improvement. So far, for fairly young sites, <1 year, they are doing fairly well as I build content. Running campaigns has alerted me to one problem - too many on-page links. And because I use Wordpress those links are on each page in the right sidebar and lead to the other sites. Even though visitors arrive via organic search in most cases they tend to eventually exit to one of the other sites or they click on a product (Ebay) and venture off to hopefully make a purchase. Ex: Drivers site will have a picture link for each of the other 7 sites. Question: If I have one stie (like a splash page) used as one link to that page listing all the sites with a brief explanation of each site will this cause visitors to bounce off because they will have one click, than the list and other clicks depending on what other club/site they would like to go to. The links all open in new windows. This would cut down on the number of links per page of each site but will it cause too much work for visitors and cause them to leave?

Too many links in header menu
I'm working on a few clients who are starting to get big header menus. Their site now easily exceeds the 100 links per page recommendation. Normally I would recommend them to cut down on the links, bit in this case these sites have menus that makes navigation easier. I honestly think these menus adds value for the users. The dilemma is that I think the menus provide value from an UX standpoint, but I'm not sure from the SEO standpoint. Any recommendations to this dilemma? Some examples: http://moodsofnorway.com/no/ http://www.gmax.no/ http://www.flust.no/

How to add business address in local directories for consistent NAP
Hi Mozers I keep puzzling over this one! I work from home and really don't want to plaster my address all over the web. The GP page now allows for me to hide my exact location, which is great. However, as far as I can see this is not the case with all the potential local directories and listings. I have been trying in to get around this by not adding my house number and last digit and 2 characters of my post code. So far this has been allowed by the local listings I have signed up with. When I tried doing as recommended by the excellent Miriam and checking my business name with 'Getlisted' I found that I could only see these local listings if I added the doctored address, i.e. no house number or full postcode. My question, finally is, if I continue in this fashion for businesses based at home addresses am I going to confuse the search engines. I want to provide a consistent NAP but GPP insists that I add a full postcode. The only way I could possible see around this is to add: street name city full postcode and omit the house name/number. Will this be a reasonable work around to maintain client confidentiality and satisfy the NAP requirement of Local search?
