Directories have been good sources of one-way links for a long time. It is a one of the easiest link building method especially for newer sites. But quality is still the name of the game. Some pointers in selecting the directories to submit to:
High PR - indication that Google sees some value in the directory.
Well maintained - listed sites are in the proper category
High Traffic - getting traffic could be minimal from directories, but majority are targeted
Kewords ranking high in SERP - Well optimized, shows that the directory is well-marketed and SEO'ed.
Which to avoid:
Link farms that pose as directories
Directories that require reciprocal links
Crappy ones with crappy sites listed
What are your thoughts? Care to add more pointers?
Given that no one-way-link is a bad link then get in all of them.. if times an issue your first list is correct, but I wouldn't begrudge a link from anywhere as if a one way link could hurt i'd be gaining my competitors all sorts of nasty one way links.
Yeah it won't really hurt - but it won't help as well.Originally Posted by channel5
