Advice On Directory Needed

[hanv]

Hi,

I am hoping some of you my be able to throw some advice my way here.

I have picked up an SEO client who has mentioned a web directory called thediscdirectory.co.uk

They appear to be a fairly reputable web directory and they have some fairly good extensions like you can add a Review section to your website where customers can add reviews to your website which with the extension will also show the customers your overall star rating etc.

Now my question is this, with Google discounting a lot of Directories is it a danger to use these extensions on a site, especially if Google does follow through and make these websites a No No.

I am not  fan at all of directories but the client seems pretty intent on using this and I want to see some other pro's opinions so If I put my foot down and say no then I need to be able to back it with a good enough answer to convince even the most determined site owner.

Thanks

Check the subcategory you'd be listed in, personally. Does it have PR? Is it indexed? Any backlinks? Then yes, it's a good spend of money if the price isn't too bad.

Honestly I'd even be fine if it was only indexed and didn't have the other two qualifiers. Google really came down on directories, but only the SEO directories that only existed to boost rank. An easy giveaway was that all these directories used the same script and appeared to be the same markup, with minor differences.

The directory has good stats. I'd say go for it.

Thanks for the reply, I just though I would check before I said to the company that it was ok.

Thanks
