Thread: Free Directories

Hey guys i have 7 free directories. I was looking on some sites today and noticed directories values have dropped alot. anyone give me a good explanation?

Too many directories.

But I must say, on my directories, I never accepted any directory that used only the default template.
Such as all 7 of yours.
Which must be new ones as no alexa and no pr.
Seems you must have used a database of sites to populate your directories.

They need some style, and age is totally a factor. As well, you could use a bigger database of websites.

Unique content and a nice looking design would improve the site, as well as increase the submissions.

He is not asking about his directories.

He is asking about the drop in values of directories.
WHich means to me, the value of a directory in the resell market?

I know, I'm not talking about his site.

I'm saying that unique content and nice site design improves the sites and increases submissions.

all of mine are new they have been up almost a week and all sites are input by people. I havent added any sites at all to them. Jusdt posted them on other forums and such.

Yes, I agree. Uniqueness is key here. Too many duplicated web dirs and websites out there. Search engines dropped many of them...

Also, hard to prove if directories are any good for SEO.

Links quality is the key. Always don't be afraid to reject submission that don't fit your submission guideline.

Many directories drop. So, if you've submitted your sites to them this will influence your sites and they can also drop... I mean directories influence directories.. It's like a circle...

I agree.

There are sites which have a high pr but when submitted in a low pr directory, it suddenly drops even though it has a good template..

Try to invest on the links juice of your directory. Don't accept sites with low quality or scraped content
