How Long Directories would stay in the web????????

[sankarjan]

Hello

Hope everyone knows that recently world wide webmasters had a chat with Googlers.... As per the conversation I had with Googlers ....It seems Google is going to devalue the directories link value.....

Wat's your idea on this.....welcome

[Kaabi]

Makes sense that they would do that, since directory links are very, very rarely natural.

[Sirtokealot]

if they do it wont make much difference, lets be honest its so difficult to get natural links these days. you need to really get lucky to get a snowball effect

[potchie]

Maybe Directories has Pr 3 and are valuable..

[poksa]

directories that has PR, for at least PR1 has a value...

[zeruel]

I believe it still has value. Actually, I am building links for a new site that has no backlinks on MSN. After 2 days of submitting it to Directories. Bang! 2 backlinks from MSN coming from a Directory...

That's good to know. I am very skeptical in web directories.

[divalicious]

Yup, me too. I'm still submitting in Directories... It also gives backlinks in my site.

It is one way to generate IBLs, thought it is possible for Google to limit DIRs in terms of IBLs for them to control the process.

According to the new policy of Google the bidding directories will be removed from the database of Google search engine.

[jabo]

well, to be removed or not, those Directory sites will still exist and some of them can still help us. I still post to niche directories that has some nice PR. but not as much as before.

Directory links remain permanent for many days.

Directory links remain permanent for many days.

you cant say its permanent if the link will stay only for days even if its "many days".

actually there are no permanent links when you submit it to a directory. all directory submission sites will only be around in years even decades. and thats about it.

Hi,
They did it long time ago, less value for such directories.

They now prefer pure content and quality backlinks, As all ways

[nancyeben]

Now Google ignore directory links, it show only article links and some bookmarking sites etc.
few directory shows in Google backlinks but it disappear soon as Google update

[Copybuild]

I don't think search engines would not count directory links. For me, they are very useful, especially for a new domain. Although there are bunch of crap directories, there are still high pr directories that are very useful to improve SERP.

[ezwoodz]

hmmm for me directories still helps me for my rankings but It's ok for me if they devalue the directories.

[shakir]

Google like natural links, Also getting indexed the directory page there ur link added is very difficult

[RinaLasnier]

submitting to directories does have its benefits. my question is do paid directories really do their part on making lots of traffic for your site? or is it better to just submit on free directories if the result is the same?
