5 New Directories 6 Links per Sub All Categories PR5/4

bobmutch · Share | #1 (**permalink**) 05-16-2005, 02:23 PM

These have been in the wild since mid April but the skins were running behind so I am just announcing them now. I still have a few issues with the breadcrumbs to work out and for the advertizing but other than that they are working just fine.

Any of your other directory types out there that want to cut me a good deal on some banners let me know. I will be having a set of banners coming out for all 5 of them shortly.

The home pages are PR6s and all the cats are PR5/4. $25 per sub gets your 6 keyword rich titles and 1 home page link and 5 deep product/services lists. No pill, porn or gambling.

First 5 people to add up 5 or more sites on all 5 directories will get the featured link on the home page. Thats 6 links off the home page!

I have a number of things that I am working on to add to these sites to enhance them. 1) link to us page, 2) terms of usage page, 3) privacy page, 4) contact us page, 5) banner page, 6) articles page.

Any of your find copy writers that want to do some work of links/cash PM me.

I am looking at pumping all the income from these sites back into them. I have plans to add all 5 sites to the top 20 pay web directories, and also to add them up to bCentral, yahoo dir and business.com. They have been all added up to my list of free web directories also and I have put them on a few SIGs.

I would not advise submitting a site to 5 general directories owned by one person.

by running 5 directories and promoting them together the person running them is not trying to protect the value of investing into listings.

awall19: I would have to disagree with you. Of course you have the right to your opinion and me mine. I am not clear though in what way a person that owns a number of directories is "not trying to protecing the value of investing into listings."

I persume when you say "value of investing into listings" you are refering to the value that the person submitting their site to the directory gets - if I am understanding you correctly.

So in what way does the owner of one directory or even two directories do this, where the owner of 3, 4, or 5 directories "is not" or perhaps we should say "can not".

-not use the same link profile (bet you have some pretty common backlinks)
-not promote them together (by having 5 near same sites and blatently promoting that you can guarantee that some of the wrong eyes will see)
-etc

awall19: You are right on the first count. All sites do have some pretty common backlinks. I am have added them to 160 free web directories and I am in the process of adding them to all the directories in my list of directories that give the most links including dir.yahoo.com, business.com, sbd.bcentral.com etc. So there is not alot I am going to be able to do about that.

As far as the list packages that I have I am moving toward more relevant links and from a wider number of sites. So I should have that changed as much as I can in the next few months.

As far as blatently promoting them I can understand you point there also.

So I can see your points and I will seriously consider them. Thanks!

At least put them all on seperate ip's and dns servers (names).

Yes there is no point submitting to all those directories. One would be good but the others are a waist of time and not worth as much money wise.

Question: The V7 Network has 2 Directories. What has been done to deferentiate them?

different servers,

but using nearly the same catogy structure and not adding many sites via paid editors is why I unfortunaltey do not recommend them much anymore either.

Interesting article Awall, but I'm not clear on who actually uses TrustRank?

Thermit · #12 (**permalink**) 06-13-2005, 07:16 AM

That's a good question, James.

My initial assumption when reading the TrustRank paper was that it would naturally be Google, although when I looked more closely at the paper authors it was two Standford-types and a Yahooer...

awall19 · #13 (**permalink**) 06-16-2005, 04:19 PM

Google trademarked the term http://blog.searchenginewatch.com/blog/050425-131316

Bob has done a nice job with his directories. Amongst the few of the new directories I like but it is essential to run them off unique IP blocks to be beneficial as whole to submitters to all of the directories. I donâ€™t give a lot of credit to the trust rank article at this time since it shows no authority in the result. Unique IP blocks have been a long standing necessity however. Put all directories on a unique IP block and you will be offering a lot better deal for all submitters.

Sites are like mirrors of each other. Multiple listing makes all these sites almost identical. Linking to same site on the same page many times is not a good idea. Both of these are encouraged by multiple listings. Changes happen simultaneously.. If sites were disconnected he could get away with mirrors, but that is far from being the case.. Also waiting time is long and getting longer.

Accually the sites don't really mirror each other that much. I mean if you compare the number of listings in each catagory it shows that all of the directories are varied to some degree.
