A Question about directory submission

[Bhuntay]

I want to submit my blog to almost all of the Blog Directories but I don't want to crowd the homepage with all the reciprocal links so can I do something like this when submitting.

using reciprocal links on another page other than the homepage. Like http://www.myblog.com/reciprocal ?

Will they approve my blog ?

[Jani]

I think if your reciprocal page has some pagerank then most of the blog directories will approve your submission.

[Gossip Master]

Agreed, if your reciprocal page some some PR value then directory owners will allow your submission.

But be careful, you should not put 100s of links on one page, put only 20-40 links per page.

[Mr Justin]

I do not see a problem with this being accepted

[Bhuntay]

What if I dont have a page with PR and I fill up the form and put the reciprocal link in mysite.com/reciprocal and submit ?

[Jani]

Everybody loves to get some advantage from the links, that advantage is called PageRank.

If your site has no pagerank then your link will not give any advantage to those directories, then why will they add your site?

Also, your reciprocal page should be indexed in search engines.

[Bhuntay]

But do they check all those details ? I think they only check if and only if our site has reciprocal links :s like someone has 100+ submission per day will they go for details of each and every site submitted before approving them ?

[Jani]

In most of the cases the one who provide directory submission services gives the report which includes the list of directories wherein he has submitted the site.

I have never used such service so I can't tell you what else they provide in the final report after completing the submission process.

[Bhuntay]

But I think only the one with free links with nofollow will approve our submission others require reciprocal links before it gets approved.

[Jani]

No, reciprocal links is the story of old days now. New directories are now coming with free links without any reciprocal links, but remember most of them will list your site only for 1 year.

[Bhuntay]

Jani you own linksbucket.com right do you accept free links or only paid links ?

[Jani]

I have sold linksbucket.com

The new owner is charging

Featured links - $20 for 1 Year
Regular links - $5 for LifeTime
Regular links with reciprocal - $2.50 for LifeTime

[Bhuntay]

Jani did you invest on the designing ? The site looks very professional. Also if this is not personal how much did you sell it for

According to me if you submit your directory in right niche then your will be directory sure live.

[Bhuntay]

I did submitted my site in right category, but it's still not listed...

[jaqes]

send me your site details with its directory you want submit you link.

[jamey]

Bhuntay, like others suggested: your submissions will be taken into consideration but many directory admins will reject your reciprocal link submission as there are some PR hungry people out there.

I did some directory submission services some time ago when I had more free time on my hands. So as to what Jani said I can add that in a submission report done as a service by somebody you will get various details such as: date of submission, status of submission, directory name, directory url and even url where your site is listed if you don't get the report right away, as some choose to update it and send you all the stats.

PR matters alot , if it works then !!! your blog is approved instantly

[aashikhattar]

they will exchange the link if your reciprocal link page is indexed in google but chances are less.
