NO. Don't throw affirmations like that when you don't have the slightiest idea of what you are talking about.Quote:

Do I need to remember you that PageRank is from Google?
You could submit your site to 1000s of directories (and to answer Simon's question, I doubt there is more PR8 than DMOZ and Yahoo) but you will see very little benefit from it. Okay, a $299 Yahoo listing can do some good on Yahoo search results, but you have to be ready to pay the price.
Some directories provide no-follow link (mostly free ones, look for that before wasting your time suscribing).
Simon said that how if submit the link in 1000. So, even the link there is less value for search engine, and mostly of them is no follow, i think there will be an increasement of PR. Ok, maybe it will not dramatically increasement.
Just see if from that 1000, 350 is do-follow, and 100 is high PR (PR3-5), i think PR2 will be reached.
Nic, thanks for the helpful answer, it's nice to see someone who knows what they're talking about take the liberty to do a quality post ;)
So, all in all, free directories are a waste of time? I mean, surely they have a little bit of benefit at least?
No. And if you site normallys gets 1 or 2 backlinks per week and then mysteriously get a thousand within a few hours, your site WILL get banned.Quote:

Because you will make search engines think that your website usually gets 1000s of link everyday. And when they find out, they will nicely bitch-slap your site (SEs don't like to be fooled).
It has some benefits, but you've got to be reasonable.Quote:

naa :D
Who is said we need to submit it all in once? We can add it in scheduled. Maybe submit to 10 directories per 2 week. This will need more longer time, but it's better than being banned by search engine.
And also, you're wrong nic, you'll not banned, but going into sandbox. And since you not wrong at all, your site will be normal again. The exeption is if you do it with software, so, do submitting manually.
And one question is, how about try first. Not just talking? I'm answering based on my SEO reference book. And i think it's so logical.
You better be kidding.Quote:

2) The Sandbox effect is exclusive to Google. Therefore, the other search engines aren't as nice: they just permanently ban your site.
Thanks for the laugh.
Haha, didn't mean to kidding :( , it's serious
1) even it's google term, but in SEO, people oriented is for google. So, please just focus to google :P. Mostly people already don't care for other SE
2) I'm already said, we can explain to them about this. Because all we do is not wrong. People on MMO love to get a inbound link, so it's normal to submit into 1000 directories. As long we can make them (SE) cannot talk anymore, i think the one who will apologize is them (SE)
Anyway, correct me if i'm wrong, all my opinion is based on the term of sandbox which i get from my literally :
Quote:
Sandbox is a place for hold a site which suspected doing spamming. The indicator is, inbound link which increased rapidly and dramatically.
It's scary to see how stubborned you are.Quote:
