Can somebody please do me a favor? Check out THIS DIRECTORY. It’s a nice PR3, but unfortunately no anchor text in links. And also, you see how if you click on a link… it leads to an about page for that link. And then if you click on the link again, it stays on the directory, but shows your page. I forget the term they use for this practice. In any case, is there any SEO benefit from this? And why do some directories do this? Isn’t it kind of stingy?
If I were you, I wouldn’t waste time in these types of directories. If you can’t insert your anchor text… how much of a value to your website is that? Not much at all.
Noone concentrate on directories now a days. And the site you gave doesn’t look good at all. Don’t do promotions here thiking you would get “no follow backlink”. The mods will remove that link.
That looks like a dodgy kind of site, but I can’t decide how much of that is intention or ineptitude. I’m always seriously wary of links that have a URL as the link text but have a different URL in the href (and I wouldn’t be surprised if Google frowns on it too). If I had my site listed on there, the first thing I would do would be to add a Javascript thingummy to break it out of the frameset!
I wouldn’t worry about not being able to choose the link text - assuming your link is in context (ie, in the right section of the right page), you will get credit for that. My main concern is that it is only likely to result in direct traffic - ie, people looking at that directory, seeing your link and clicking on it. Because the frameset masks the URL of your site, it is entirely possible* that Google won’t give you any recognition for your links there, and the site itself will benefit from your link more than you will.
- I don’t know for certain, but I’m guessing here.
Can someone who isn’t a robot please respond? The only person who looks like they might not be a robot is altax. But I read that directories are still good, but it depends. Also, directories are one part of many different sites to build back links from. I already understand that directories aren’t the only type of website to build links from. I just would like some answers to the questions I asked in my original post. If someone could please help answer, I would appreciate it.
Don’t worry about what the SGB says or the link text. Why not just add your listing there, you may get some traffic from it - that’s what you want isn’t it?
Hi,
I think this is one of the directory submission site.Is anything extraordinary things are there?..
