      Hello Guys,

      i thought to do some directory submission for my website, i am little confused. I have list of page rank directory and non pr directory. Can anyone suggest me which one shall i prefer most.

      **Getting approved by pr directory takes long time, so shall i prefer non pr directory to get  my listing approved fast. **

      please suggest me which one i have to prefer, if anyone have fast pr approval directory list please share.

      Thanks In Advance

        Hi,

        I would go with "non directory" 🙂

        Personally I would focus on a different link building technique - It's a risky slope and time eating technique to go after directories nowadays.  It can take a lot of time with results or can even back fire.

        However if you decide to move forward I would only follow the bellow rules:

        1. check and see if the directory is not penalized first (it dosen't really mean it' safe but at least you have a chance).

        2. make sure the directory, area of the directory where you will be listed (if you will be listed) it's actually really related with your website.

        3. Make sure the directory is not advertising using (do follow links, seo friendly and so on as part of the motto and catch line)

        4. Don't mind the PR - at all or just as an indicator if the site is alive or really on the Google's black list.

        Hope it helps.

            You can consider any ethical link building techniques, like,

            1. Link back from blog (not blog-networks), web 2.0 sites.

            2. Guest posting (consider it to be of high-value)

            3. Local web-directory submission with full information. (ex. locanto, hot frog etc.)

            4.  Article submission (Yes its still works in some cases) to high pr, clean directories but not too many.

            5. Link back from relevant sites to your niche.

            And more over try to maintain a natural link ratio for your site.
