Trying to use the SEOmoz link building tools but...

[JasonHegarty]

all of the directories that are listed seem to be based in the US for US companies - am I missing something?

By the way my target audience is solely based in the UK,

Thanks,

Jason

And you´re a lucky guy. I work just for Spanish companies. Tools work fine to compare my competition and take a look into their linkbuilding. I use Link aquisition assistant just have to translate terms to spanish. In your case maybe you can replace them with typical UK words.

The directory list is still usefull for me because some of them are worth getting a link from even if they are not european oriented.

But it seems like a very good and useful tip for Seomoz to pay some more attention to Europe.

One thing to do is to request a feature along this line as SEOmoz does monitor the Q&A and the staff is responsive. Here is link to features request

There are also a lot of European members on moz, so hopefully a few more will pick up on this as well and provide direction.

I am also throwing in a link to a thread on submission sites, etc. I have used a couple and as yet have no opinion but some are Indian based and obviously do business with European clients. You should also look at this thread as there are some gems: Dmoz submission, Yahoo directory, etc.

Best

Thanks for the responses guys - Robert is the yahoo directory woth the $299 a year? I have registered with Dmoz already

Jason, actually I prefer softball questions

Value depends on what you need and want. With Yahoo directory if you look at $299 and then look at what can be obtained at that cost for other directories or submissions it might not be. But, if you have a single site that you want to promote, are in need of quality level of Yahoo, etc. it might be a good spend. 
In the U.S., for clients who have multiple sites in services or professions as opposed to an eCommerce site, it is not as good a value for sure. Can you find a couple of high quality submission sites, spend that same amount and possibly get two to three times the value? I think it is possible.

Really hope that helps.
