I think if you're questioning it yourself, then you already have a big clue to the answer

I'm learning the hard way that quick attempts to build generic directory links in the past were very short lived, so building links from sites that I would use/visit myself is usually quite a good starting point, it takes more time in acquiring them, but they're going to be good for the long term.

Good luck!

Is this directory submission site worth the money?

No.

Storwell, I think you are experienced enough to know a "good" directory from a bad one. This directory is clearly a bad one.

1. It offers a service whereby you pay to get submitted to hundreds of free directories. Awful.

2. If offers free links. I tried looking for some of the free links and couldn't even find them in OSE.

3. If offers paid links and lists them as "featured". These would be considered paid links by Google, they are marked by the "Featured" label and therefore would be devalued.

4. The directory has no posted standards, and as such would have any links devalued.

5. The site itself is very low quality. The PR shows as a 3. I rarely ever check a site's PR, but the DA of 8x led me to check and it just shows their DA is jammed pack with tons of worthless links to offer the appearance the directory has value.

If the site's home page is PR3, figure the first level category page is PR2 and the second level is PR1. In other words, even if somehow you got a link which actually passed PR, it would be a very low amount.

The directory looks ok with a decent PA. I would just make sure you submit your site to the appropriate category.

Directory listings for a new site and it's implications on SEO

Hi all, In classic newb style I have submitted my new site to several uk directory listings after seeing these listings used by competitors, both local and national. I chose ones with a low-spam score as shown on the Moz site explorer. Now my domain score has jumped up several places over a few days, as has my search position, but will these listings "hurt" in the future? I fully intend on chasing and gaining non-quick'n'easy links in the future for he record. Many thanks!

Instructables site - follow and nofollow

Hi, I haven't been able to find a clear answer to this issue yet, so I'm posting here for help. I have just created a profile on the site Instructables - http://www.instructables.com/ as well as an article. The issue is that I could find most of the published articles there have follow links in them - e.g links under materials: http://www.instructables.com/id/How-to-Make-a-Reclaimed-Industrial-Coffee-Table/ - however mine is attributed nofollow links. I simply don't know why this is or if there is a way around it to get the links followed. This question only relates to the links in the articles, not the profile links - which are followed. Anybody knows? Thanks, Alex

Reassessing site achitecture

Firstly I'm only a recently new member but am already a big fan and rely on the tools a lot. For the sake of context, our site is www.cleancruising.com.au which we've steadily built into one of Australia's top cruise sites. We've focussed on building unique content including a mapping engine to show over 10,000 cruise routes, 3D ship models for virtual tour simulations and over 350,000 words of unique descriptive content. So we think we've got some good content which we currently rank quite well for, but think there's a lot of room for improvement with the links, both internal and inbound. Looking at the internal links, I thought the site architecture was pretty good but now I'm not so sure. The site hierarchy is like this: home > cruiseline (20) > ship (200) > itinerary page (12000) > enquiry form and home > region (25) > port (1400) > itinerary page (12000) > enquiry form My question is, am I wasting link juice by doing the following? A sample itinerary page shows lots of links through to the enquiry form (with different parameters). However years ago we added the enquiry form to be blocked via robots.txt and none of these page variations are indexed by google. Is this stuffing up the link flow, and should I allow the forms to be indexed so their links can add value back through the site? Are there any tools for visualizing a site link structure? Lots of questions and hope this is appropriate. 1am in Australia so may take a few hours before any follow up posts, cheers

How to Earn Links to Boring Pages on Your Site

We do great in earning links to our homepage, articles, linkbait, and resource pages but we get few links to our product pages which are honestly pretty boring. Do you have any advice for increasing links to these important "money" pages? (we are trying to add useful content to make them less boring and unremarkable)

Directories are Paid links right ?

How are directories ok for buying links ? How can the funds be claimed to be used to review your submission when everyone knows you are basically buying a link ? What experiences have you had god and bad with directories ? Is it a free for all any directory will do or should you be more selective in your approach. If so what are the signs to look out for on a top quality directory.
