Web Directory AuthorityRank - Average Outbound PR

It's not an absolute rule - it is just one of many possible ways to evaluate a directory's editorial integrity.

Thanks John , you are so kind.

[John Scott]

Thanks. But I doubt you will think that in about 30 seconds, after I ban you for posting numerous duplicate welcome posts and having too many links in your signature.

The better way to check PR of directories is to just

use www.livepr.info/internalpagespr.php

[John Scott]

That checks internal links, but this thread is about checking PR of external links.

[mauiman]

Some directories include pagerank stats on all listings with external links, as well as, list the PR of the listings so it's easy to gauge this authority rank. Then there are the others that list neither.

I'm familiar with the iWeb tool that lets you check the PR for external links page by page... is their a script or tool that would do this for an entire site?

great post john.

Sounds like a good means of measurement for the newly launched directory.

[radway]

Though it's PR 8, doesnt mean ALL the pages are 8. Be sure to submit on page that has also high pr, cos pr isnt the same for each page in a site.

[scipilot]

Average PR of Outbound Links can be seen by going to a category, and checking the PR of all links on that page.

Firstly, hi. I'm a newbie here so go gentle with me

Can you explain how you check the outbound links PR without checking each site seperatly.

I was looking thru the V7n directory in the Regional category.....doesn't list Sacramento as a city in California??? (Its the capital city of the State of California)

Olympia is the capital of Washington, and it's not listed either.

I'd guess that a lot of state capitals aren't listed. We don't create categories for cities until there are enough submissions to justify the creation of the category.

There are 478 cities in California. If we created a category for each city, we'd have a lot of empty categories.

Thanks......I guess that makes sense......but would an "empty category" simply be an invitation for someone to "Be the first link on this page?"

Like the Kevin Costner movie ("Field Of Dreams")....."If you build it, they ($50 paid links) will come..."

It seems to me that some of you are putting in the same basket directories with high PR and high quality/best directories. 500 reciprocal links from 500 submitted sites will give your directory high PR but would the sites submitted to your directory high quality links is totally different story.

Talking about Best Directories. No one can say if directory is the best because of difference of opinions we all have not to mention that “the best” is very subjective measurement.

For example, I can say that our directory is the best directory and argue that pound by pound our directory will meet and beat any directory there is but it would be only my opinion even if that opinion is based on solid facts, because the next guy may see my strongest directory features as weak and /or not important.

Could it simply be that the displayed PR is delayed? I've seen a webpage shoot from pr0 to pr7.

great post thanks for the info

[James Trotta]

Possibly - but it could also be an invitation for a search engine bot to decide your site has lots of duplicate pages with zero useful content. Persaonally I think leaving empty categories online is an unnecessary risk.
