It is similar to link exchanges. You link me, I link you type where you don’t really enjoy the benefits here. The value from a directory backlink is much lower compared to blog backlink. It is simply because, directory known to give out links.

I wouldn’t give more credit towards directory submission. After all, it contains highest number of outgoing links per page. But, not all directories are bad. Some with good reputation like DMOZ, Yahoo, etc still delivers good value towards our authority.

I ve been a part of a link building group and believe me it worked very well for a site and given it the PR2, its really nice to have some link building for your site and have a high PR.

Some directories tend to get indexed and crawled by the search engines much faster than your blog (as if the directory has much PR and longer age) which will be good to make your post exposed before it’s directly indexed by the search engines.

However, there’s one down side about this is that will also make your post lose its own authority, because the post you’ve submitted to the directory is indexed and found first, before the post on your blog. It’ll slightly affect your ranking in SERPs.

Don’t worry about Google because it nowadays becomes smarter than it was. As long as there’s one link back to your blog post, Google identifies and know where the post belongs to. I’m not sure about other search engines though.

What are your thoughts on software programs that submit your posts to directories etc.? I subscribe to Traffic Bug. It is not altogether automatic as the directories then come back and need confirmation, also I need to get several steps done for Traffic Bug to submit.

You can set your aggressive level. I keep mine at low. I don’t think that the quality of these links is as high as other methods of obtaining links but it certainly contributes to the numbers. I mix and match – working on “manual” efforts and hope that they too will multiply organically.

Any comments/suggestions?
