      I feel a lot of my link building might be a bit heavy on the directory links side. Should I limit the percentage amount of links as a part of my overall link profile? If yes what percentage of links is ok to be directory links?

        I don't set a percentage of links, but more how much time I am willing to spend. Directories take less time, but are often not as important. Try 20% of your time working on directories and 80% working on other links.

          So, i just maked some competitive analyse, and one of tham have a PR6 and PA&DA 65 ..

          This domain, have 1231 backlinks from 1232 different directories.

          So, for a fast ranking, you must place some inboundlinks with a right anchor-text from any strong website PR6,PR7,PR8, with a  PA 70  and DA 70 or more, than you will see the effects in 3-4hours to max. 3-4 days or 1week. But sometimes in 12 hours.

          And, if you have enough time, you can invest every day on 2 strong directories, and you have about 50backlinks for a month from directories, it need money,and time, but with this kind of backlinks you increase the domain authority, and avoid the spam.

          I hope answer is helpful for you.

          Thanks

            Just wanted to leave a quick note saying that SEOmoz has upgraded the Link Directory! You can view a post Cyrus wrote with more information about the directory updates and link building via directories at http://www.seomoz.org/blog/seo-link-directory-best-practices

            • Does Dofollow links from forumn profiles, blog comments, business directories or article directories etc have any impact?
