Danish webshop in english linkkataloque
-
Hi
I know link cataloques are not the only way to linkbuild, but we wanna use it to start off.
I'm building links for a webshop on a .dk domain. Would be my an advantage or disadvantage to add the webshop to linkcatalog on a .com or any other international domain?
Thanks in advance

Hi Mark,
The best directories (or link cataloques) are going to be the ones most related to your website. For example, if your site is about dentistry in Denmark, then a Denmark directory of dentists will be your best best.
There's no particular disadvantage to using .com directories. What's more important is the relevancy and trustworthiness of the directory itself. A few things to look out for are: Make sure the directory hasn't been penalized, make sure it only links out to good sites through a selective, editorial process. If the directory accepts anyone, you don't want to be there.
A word of caution: over the past year Google has cracked down hard on directories, and websites that contain mostly low quality directory links in their profile have been hit equally as hard. Directory links are still okay, but make sure you balance them out with high quality "earned" links or you are asking for trouble. The SEOmoz Directory List is a good place to start. These have been vetted as not being penalized, but it's still very possible to overdo it. Proceed with caution.
Hope this helps! Best of luck with your SEO!
