Bid Directory Query - Basic

topbuyer · 09-08-2007, 08:11 AM

This might be simple/basic question to all of you. But please clarify for me:

Why anyone bid to be at top on bid directories?

One can have oneway link just by a paid link. What are the benefit of bidding ? I had seen bidding amount like 3000$ ?

Thanks,

Some of these big web directories that are high pr, and popular directories are charging $1200 a mo. to be promoted on the home page. Even if i wanted to be on that page to promote my website i have to wait till someone falls off the home page. By bidding that is not an issue, If you want to promote your site you bid what you think this directory is worth to you. If you dont promote your website over the internet you will never get known, and i dont believe you will have much traffic.
Most of these bidding directories are charging only $1 dollar a link, but they are using tools for back links in all the searches, page rank bars,alexa, and more to help promote your website.Its nice to know that i can go to a directory, and not have to check link popularity in submit express,or check traffic in alexa, or go to iwebtool..being a bidding directory is affordible, and informative to the submitting site.

Bid directories are complete crap, they are just another internet scam and they are just the type of directories Google is trying to do away with. In six months I doubt any will even exist.

Any proof.

I don’t believe it. Where did you see these kinds of bidding?
For this amount you can get a very good targeted traffic from Google or Yahoo.

First of all cornbread your opinion doesnt count, second of all directories will always exist so get use to it, what are you going to do call google for a link.
bidding directories are giving quick links with in days of submissions maybe you should check on that before you open your mouth and stick your foot in it, because alot of my submissions took up to 3mo. to see my link in the search. This new phpbidlink program is great, tools that show back links in the searches, toolbars,alexa what else do you want for a buck its not my fault you cant afford $10 to be on front page. As far as the front page advertising google allows 20, and mostly every bid directory has ten. I really think google doesnt like football sites , because there all crap.

Every one's opinion counts, that's the great thing about a forum. I don't have a beef with directories, I myself have invested hundreds of dollars in promotion mostly through quality directories. A quality directory gives you a link based on the merit of your web site, it uses editorial integrity. I bidding directory just gives a link to the highest bidder, this is the ugliest form of link buying, and just the type that Google is trying to eliminate. So it will just be a matter of time before Google catches on to your link buying scam and slaps a penalty or ban on you.

So what your saying is bidding directories dont have blogs or script or forums, and so on come on you got to be kidding me. I think everyones opinion matters if they say something after checking on it, and can prove they have a good point, but it seems to me you talk without doing so. You always talk bad about rankland, but if i didnt have editorial integrity why do you see my site on the top of the searches all over the board. You say one thing that you look for in a good site than you contridict what you say.

It can bring you some traffic, not only PR

DebbieV · 09-16-2007, 11:16 PM

rankland - how can you even think you have any integrity when you artificailly inflate the bids for your own sites on rankland a linkunow?

Red_Virus · 09-17-2007, 11:31 AM

Well I have a Bidding Directory, The only thing that people bid so high on these directories is the traffic that it can deliver each day & the fact that it is promoted a lot also.

Bidding Directories are for traffic & not for passing PR juice.

Debby get a grip linkunow now isnt even my directory first of all its my wifes she bid my directory and payed for it with out me knowing this, and a took her link down so someone else could have the top of the board at rankland. So if you dont know what your talking about than you might want to stop sticking your foot in your mouth. Secondly when it comes to integrity my submitted sites are getting search link in 3 to 4 days, and that is why you buy a link now isnt it........... I forgive you
