Ooops --it took me 1 hr. to finish reading all the posts since I left the last time
@
Bob Mutch --
I can now understand what authority site means. But you have not yet stated the exact criterias -for example -
Domain Age -- How Long?
Site Age -- How Long?
Also .gov, .edu, links means no more importance according to Matt Cutts.
How many of those links you want? There is one PR8 .edu site that sells footer links as sponsored. List it there --and
your IQL tool will pull 10000 .edu links. Is it called authority?
Now back to the subject---
I have one PR4 directory -- Titled "Page Rank Luck Directory"
I tried some combinations --with the title like
Page Rank
Luck Directory
Page Directory
Page Rank Directory
and few more --
I rank inside top 100 for all. Not only that --I also rank well for different categories on the directory.
There is a sitewide advertisement -- "Links Factory Strong Directory"
I rank on 1st page for that Keyword too.
I usually hit this DC --
http://72.14.235.104/
So according to your definition of Authority ranking --by site qualifies for all of them. It only shows around 18000 Yahoo backlinks and 200 -odd G backlinks.
Do you or Mr. Rand want me to believe that my site has much much higher authority than Aviva has?
I don't live in a dream SEO world. I am not a SEO expert too. But SEO is nothing more than optimizing the keywords you rank for --- isn't?
But I never optimized -- All those keywords .
The concept of determining a
Directory ( Please mark the word
Directory) - on the basis of Search Engine Ranking is totally false. While SERPs is what every site looks for -- it is not for directories. Because the main role of directories is to help other sites get quickly indexed, help them to rank better.
SEROMOZ/Mr. Rand has to prove scientifically and logically why they don't think Aviva is quality. It has attacked one of us --and now there is no looking back for us --directory owners --to soon blog around how cheap a route SEOMOZ is has taken to get traffic and perhaps links by attacking one of our leaders.
OR is it because SEOMOZ/Mr Rand wants Jeff as their clients?
There was a post by Mr. Rand --where he states that he is working with Jeff to rank better.
I hope Jeff does not fall in the TRAP.

Hey Old Maaann-- thats probably the reason Rand Fishkin is mad at Jeff and his Aviva.
I'll try to soon blog about SEOMOZ and how it sucks on my BLOG --I hope Rand will rubbish my directory too.
Just for info -- Google is loving my BLOG as its posts are ranking even for a fraction of the titles.

So -- I'll title a very relevant keyword while choosing SEOMOZ.
