Best of the Web directory

[roberthseo]

Does http://botw.org/  (Best of the Web directory) have any SEO value these days?

Would you recommend listing on there?

Hey Robert

One quick suggestion - really try not to link build with SEO value on your mind. Of course you want good links and to not get dinged, but if you're basing good links on solely the SEO value they are providing (which I am not saying you are), you're heading down a bad path if you start out on that foot.

All in all - the best way to link build is to ask the following questions:

• Does this link help my website?
• Is this link relevant to my website?
• Would I trust this site (that's linking to me) if I landed on it?
• Is the website or content in which I am being linked from topically relevant to my website?
• If you check metrics - does anything about the metrics (domain authority, page authority,Majestic, SEMRush traffic/ranking data, etc) make me feel uneasy?

That being said - Best of the Web is a good link, I have never had issues with it or heard of others having issues with that link. If you find value in it for your website, then go for it! Here is a quick glance at the metrics for OSE.

Check out this resource from Moz. Hope this helps! Good luck!

To answer your question, YES, it has high trust and high authority so a link from that site would definitely help in terms of SEO.

BOTW is (or was) one of the better directories to submit to, but it definitely won't make or break your SEO efforts.

Although a link is a link (and links are good right?), I would save your money and develop more content for your website.
