What directories do you guys recommend to pay to be listed?
-
With so many in the web is hard to decide what directories are worth it... Anyone has suggestion?
Thanks!

Thank you to you both! The only reason why I am looking into directories is to get backlinks, I don't think people would be actually looking for me in them. So you guys don't recommend directories as part of backlinks strategy?
Thank you so much!

I like this article and would recommend your checking this out and follow when selecting directories because Google is very much strict when it coming to getting a link from directories (not all paid are good).
After doing all the quality checks, when choosing directories keep the users in mind, if you are paying any directory website to place your link, do you think that your targeted audience will visit the directory and find you? If yes, go for it otherwise just drop it!
Hope this helps!

Hi Elaine,
Here's an article to get you pointed in the right direction. Be careful with directories though, as I have a feeling google is going to get tougher and tougher on them as time goes on. http://moz.com/blog/web-directory-submission-danger

Are directories still an option for linkbuilding
I know that after the recent slate of Google updates, many free directories got taken down. We've typically used the list of directories placed on SEOmoz (www.seomoz.org/directories). Before adding a site to a directory, we always check to see if it is indexed by Google. Is this still a safe option or should directories be avoided?

Does it pay to change link text internally?
Most of my internal pages have their best links from within our site (of course we are trying to change that). Is it worth the effort to sculpt the link text to show varied text instead of most all showing the same link text? Or is that only important from external links?
