You are asking about paid directory, then why dmoz.org is free ?
You must find 1op 10 directories and submit to it, i am sure that they are not paid, why you spending the amount on paid directory, i think you go for free .... mbgadget share some top directories list or simple search on google, or here is the list of top free directories by page rank. You must go and submit to them, or hire someone to do that ...
I again ask you to avoid paid directories its already in google eyes and may increase rank, but its risk.

Adwords Expanded Text Ads - How are they working for you?
I think it would be nice to get a consensus from more people. The day expanded text ads came out last week, I immediately jumped on it and created them for all my campaigns. I still left some of the old ads running in each ad group so that I could compare. Looking at the conversion data from the last week, the conversion rates are between 2-7x lower on the expanded text ads, and as a result, the cost per conversion is 2-5x higher as well. Basically, they're performing horribly. The click-through rate is mildly higher, but who cares if they're not converting? I know it's only a week's worth of data, but it seems the difference is enough to be statistically significant. I'm wording what everyone else's experience has been.

Add Cyber Monday Terms To Keyword List Effectively
For example, if I sell widgets and I want my ads to appear for "cyber Monday widget deals" If I add "Cyber Monday" I'll come up for every search related to cyber Monday. The alternative seems to be putting every possible word combination in such as... blue widget cyber Monday deals
Paid Search Marketing | | tatermarketing
red widget cyber Monday sale
cyber Monday yellow widget
big widgets cyber Monday for sale
etc. As you can see there are almost an infinite number of possibilities there making it unfeasible without doing something programmatically such as... X = Widget Descriptor (empty is a possible value)
ie: big, red, green, blue, fast, slow Y = Widget Synonym (plural considered possible value)
ie: widget, widgets, wiggy-what Z = Deal Synonym (empty is a possible value)
ie: deal, sale, promotion, promo Query Structures...
X Y Cyber Monday Z
Cyber Monday Z X Y
etc. Is there some kind of query match I'm missing as an alternative to this programmatic brute force method? How have you guys executed this?0 -
Google Analytics Matched Search Query Not Working
On Google analytics for our clients when you check the Matched Search Query under Traffic Sources > Overview, it says "There is no data for this view.". I have Google searched it and i am not finding my answer to why this is not displaying my information. On my personal analytics account when i clicked on matched search query it displays exactly what the person searched when it trigered my adwords ad. I have no idea why this account doesn't display the same info when it appears to be setup in the same way. Example: If i am broad match targeting the keyword "outdoor sports", and someone searched "Canadian outdoor sports for kids" It would show exactly what they searched under Matched Search Query. Anyone know how to resolve this issue?

Adwords quality score is bull?
Is it me or is Google Adwords quality score a load of bull. I use part numbers as my keywords and have virtually the same landing page for each one. The only difference is the order of the paragraphs in my descriptions, the product attributes and the SKU. so why does one part get an 7 and the other a 5? Surely they should be the same?

What is the definition of 'Paid links' for Google ?
Many high authority sites are doing paid text linking and linking sites through 'Sponosred linking' sections, But, Google does not seem to be bothered. Just because they are already ruling the industry. Sponsored links are obviously not natural, they are absolutely paid, still Google is giving them priority that is why only people are paying huge for them. Please go through the website http://goo.gl/tgfH and see "Sponored link" section So, What actually Google considers as paid link? nNolr nNolr

Your site is in organic results for adwords keyword - improved quality score?
Let's say I am targeting a keyword "Blue Widgets Cityname" with an AdWords campaign. My SEO landing page is coming up in position #6 in the organic results for this keyword. Because I have my website in the organic search results, does my quality score automatically improve? Conversely, my quality score could go up because the organic search results facilitate a higher CTR for both the ads and the organic results. However, I am wondering if there is a quality score algorithmic component that automatically makes my quality score go up simply because the same domain I am targeting is in the organic results.
