Next PR update?

[gkd_uk]

There are thousands and thousands of free directories out there that don't require a reipriocal link.

You can submit to my directory if you are not already in there: The Web Directory

There is also Temi's directory which is Haabaa

Here is a list to get you started directorycritic.com/free-directory-list.html

Ok, thanks for your help. Ill get to it now.

What about all the bad press about directories though. Will Google mark me down for this?

Also, does a submission to a directory count as a backlink?

[redlinemaxed]

most of the free directories ask for a reciprocal link.

[gkd_uk]

That is right but they also offer a free submission.

You have the choice of selecting free or reciprocal. I offer both on my directory, if a visitor submits a reciprocal link I will approve their link faster unless it is some I know.

Google does not like people buying links in directories to increase PR. Yes, directories submissions do count as a backlink.

[gkd_uk]

Your link has been approved at The Web Directory

[redlinemaxed]

Yey. Thanks! Do you think if i jsut leave the reciprocal link box blank, ill be accepted in most directories?

[gkd_uk]

As long as it states free listing, then yes leave the reciprocal field blank

[redlinemaxed]

brilliant. that will give me lots to do then. IS there anything i should avoid doing when using directories?

thanks for all your help!

[gkd_uk]

No problem

The one thing you need to remember is, Read the Rules before submitting
