Does Matt Cutts wont people to report directories?

admin — Tue, 17 Apr 2007 18:56:25 +0000

Matt Cutts has caused quite a stir in the SEO world with his post on reporting sites that sell links. Now I have a clear opinion that this is not some darstadly plan of googles to dominate the world, but a genuine attempt to improve there SERPÂ´s quality with a new algo tweak that tries to identify sites that sell links.

But does this mean that directories are out of business? I mean, who actually buys a yahoo directory listing for the traffic? Come on Matt thats a link that is purchased to manipulate SERPÂ´s. And its in the google webmaster guidelines!

I see the idea as clearly correct, but a little more clarity in the simple question about the yahoo directory would surely help lots of webmasters understand what types of links can be purchased without the link condom no follow tag or not.

New Update in the info vilesilencer directory list

Rob — Fri, 16 Mar 2007 03:59:31 +0000

At the tail end of last month we received a much needed update for the seo friendly directory list from the info vilesilencer website. As of mid last month, of the 474 directories that were in the directory list since the last update in December, there were about 80 at any given time that had either moved to paid directories, requiring reciprocal links or simply shutting their doors.

The new update has a total of just over 500 directories, and Dan insists that there will not be any more directories added to the list until some fall off due to moving away from the lists stringent requirements.

You can find the directory list on the info vilesilencer website.

Dan updates his paid directories list.

The webs best list of quality directories has just got one of its regular updates released.

I’ve just been through the list of Paid directories on the Info Vilesilencer lists, and readjusted all the pricing and PR’s. There are a lot of changes across the board. Prices have come down on most directories and PR’s are trending upwards.

So what are you waiting for, get on over there and check it Dans list of paid directories.

Del.icio.us Mod for phpld will help create a better quality directory

admin — Tue, 19 Sep 2006 12:01:34 +0000

Del.icio.us Mod is in beta over at the phpld forumÂ (sorry for not linking directly to the thread, but it is in the members area). The best way to explain what this Mod does is quote David, the directory scripts owner:

Basically, when I’m surfing around and see a link I like, I just click one button in my toolbar, and I’m automatically taken to the add links page in admin with the fields pre-filled!

So if I see a link I like, I can add it to my directory in just a few seconds. Â

Now that is great for those interested in creating quality niche directories.

As the directory market continues to be flooded by general directories seemingly created to feed the directory submitter companies unlimited appetite for more general directories (thats a mouthful but it sure makes sense to me!) it is great to see directory software helping those that wont to create quality niche directories.

Info Vilesilencer has a massive update …

Dan has worked all of last week on getting ths update out. I know this because I am keenly awaiting the interview answers from him!

This update has done the usual, cleaned out the directories that no longer pass the criteria needed, and added new directories that do.

A massive 112 general directories have come through the door this month. The update has been delayed by frenetic activity in the directory scene. People are putting directories up quicker than we can count them and then, before you know it, they have converted to paid models. Some good new niche directories have also been unearthed, and I would like to talk about 2 of these in particular. Namely, the Deeplinks Niche and the Registration Niche Â

Dans list is very well know, here is were to start to read all about this latest update and the latest news on the webs most famous free directory list.
