Adding Links to Directories
While surfing the mommysphere (mommy blogs), I came across a post that got me wondering. This article talked about adding your link(s) to web directories. It gave some good advice, and there was some stuff I didn’t know about that really helped me. But seeing as I run two myself, there was one thing that concerned me.
The author of this article stated that if a directory linked sites in this way…
http://www.yourlisting.com/click.php?linkname
instead of listing them this way…
http://www.yourdomain.com
that you should move on to the next. I can see the logic in this, I really can. It’s all about the link back, right? People are greedy for them, and they want good PR (even though Google won’t give more than three from what I’ve seen). Personally, I don’t care which way they do it. I’ll confess, my listings link sites in the /click.php?linkname manner, but that’s how the script creator wrote it. That’s not my fault, and there’s nothing I can do about it. Anyway, back to the rant…
So if they’re saying this to people looking for places to list their sites, then what about the top 100′s that people add their sites to that link site(s) in this way…

There’s no link juice coming out of that, and people seem to be fine with it. I think people are too worried about PR and link popularity instead of who is seeing their links to begin with. In my opinion, it doesn’t matter how a directory or listing displays your link(s). Add them anyway. At least then you won’t be missing out on all that potential traffic.

Its agood & an useful information about adding links to the directories. I like the way to add a link as its the right way to do it.”http://www.yourlisting.com/click.php?linkname”.
I think anything you do to help link back to your site is useful. I know many people who are link snobs and they are out to build SE rankings; however, you can’t forget about the human element. BTW-this is a very nice site.
