At present it floats around the 12 to 50 odd none supplemental pages. So at first I am going to use this blog as the sole source of new links, to see if that on its own is enough to get pages out of the sups index. Of course there are a load of questions left unanswered. Hi Rainchild,

So everything related to improving the quality of that link back is the way to measure if a directory is seo friendly or not. I think the key to a seo friendly directory is the link back it gives.

- session ids
- bad URL structure
- lack of basic onsite SEO

If the directory itself isn’t search engine friendly it doesn’t matter a damn how many direct links it could give you – nobody will be able to find it and them

]]> Comment on SEO Friendly Directories: what are they? by admin http://www.thedirectoryblog.com/my-opinion/seo-friendly-directories-what-are-they/comment-page-1/#comment-96 admin Sun, 14 Jan 2007 09:36:17 +0000 http://www.thedirectoryblog.com/my-opinion/seo-friendly-directories-what-are-they/#comment-96 I always consider a published editorial guideline as a sign of quality. And if that guideline is actually scritely followed by the editorial team then generally thats a good directory to get submitted to.

This was an unintentional omission on my part. When referring to High Ranking websites in this instance, I was explicitly speaking in regards to Google Page Rank. Maybe straying a bit from the topic, maybe not - I don't necessarily think that a website with a Page Rank of 6 dealing with realty (as per your example) that is lower in the serps (search engine results pages) would necessarily be less relevant than a website with a Page Rank of 2 that ranks higher in the serps for a keyword or phrase. Personally, I would seek out to get a link in the directory with a Page Rank of 6, even though it had a lower ranking in the search results due to the weight it could send me in regards to Page Rank. Maybe that answers that, or maybe I didn't understand your posting correctly. Though, it is nice to be *aboard*! Rob Sorry about that.

Welcome aboard. Good read, but I would say that there is one BIG question left in the air! What is a high ranking directory? I see lots of directory owners fighting it out for top rankings for the search terms related to web directories, but what good will that do to a realtor site that is looking for a listing? I get the feeling that trust rank, that indefinable creacion of Google´s has more relevancy than high ranking for web directory search terms. just my 2 cents of a euros worth .. :) Regards Patrick First of, congratulation Rob on your first post here at the directory blog.
