    Default How much time do you spend adding quality links?

    One thing that seems to be lacking on some directories is quality links. Too often, people just wait for the submissions to come but don't add content themselves. I was curious if people could share their stories about how they have added quality links or other content to their directory site.

    I don't spend a ton of time as I dont' have any to spare. I however have added sites I thought were unique yet quality to my directories in the past.

    I do add content to my directory pages. I think it helps on a few things, one not looking like a link farm and adding to SEO when you talk about the topic that the links are about. Luckily, the directory script I use has this automatically in the script in the admin you can add info on eack page/topic/category whatever you want to call it.

    Normally I add 3+ listings to all my categories, of the top notch kind, just to get it started. SE are not fond of empty categories as they will seem more duplicate than if they have some content in them.
    Its time consuming, but might just keep you out of supplemental results from the beginning
    The directories where I used this self submitting method, is actually doing better today, than the ones where I just left them empty, waiting for user submissions.

    I have always gone a little on the extreme side - especially for my niche directories. I basically tailor my directory structure based on the content I have in hand, so all my categories always had entries in place - be it 5 or 10 or 100. I list companies irrespective of whether they have a website or not as if they do not have a website - i tend to get the nice organic traffic for these companies and 9 out of 10 times will rank high in serps for their company name.

    I also usually contact relevant sites and introduce them to my directory and offer them a deal to list. For the really picky folks - I say screw it and put their site into my index if it is a quality site. My largest niche directory has over 93K listing in it! I always try to do minor monthly updates to my index and at least 2 or 3 major index updates a year.

    I really don´t have a schedule. I see a lot of new directories on DP and if I have a good impression of one, I add my sites. I go by design, branding and who the owner is to make sure I get a long term benefit. I think 80 percent of the directories out there are not worth anybody´s time, free or not.

    Totally agree.
    So many are rush setup just to sell links and be resold for one.

    I like to spend a few minutes here and there finding quality inbound links. I have found that links seem to have the most effect on website rankings.
