Hade Posted January 31, 2007 Share Posted January 31, 2007 I've just spent 12 hours solid submitting my URL to website directories. I must have done a hundred, and I'm still going. Is this likely to have a significant effect on my google ranking? The amount of work it's taking I certainly hope so! So what are your experiences after a mass submission binge? What's your stories?

Sorry to dissapoint you but it will not help you at all. Google will not take in account such a big number of incomming links which all apeared in a very short period of time. To make incomming links work for you, you need to get them slowly over long period of time. Inbound links are very important if you want to get high rankings on Google. It's important to optimize your web pages so that they are relevant to a special search term but it is equally important -- if not more important -- to get high quality links to your web site. A web site can only get high rankings on Google if it has good inbound links in addition to good content. However, it is important that you get the right links. If the links to your web site have an unnatural pattern then Google probably won't count these links. If you get many links with exactly the same link text in a short time period then these links might be interpreted as a Google bombing attempt.

You should say at the beginning of your post "This Is Just My OPINION" because it is and will never be real proof of that. And also what do you consider Natural links? How many links before it's Unnatural. You are given incorrect feedback which isn't good, as I said you should state this is my opinion in the beginning of threads so people don't run off with that. I've done the same thing to a few of my sites and have gotten great results from google, msn, and yahoo. So I'm sure if I submit my competitions site to directories for 2 days that will really hurt them correct? Especially with the same anchor text and descriptioin? NOT The links for the directories AT THIS TIME are good for PR(page rank) but only a few directories are actually good for foot traffic. You are on the right track. I've also noticed when submitting to directories that will bring in natural links which will really help. Not trying to get in a heated discussion just could not say nothing about that when I KNOW it's wrong. If you need some directories to submit to let me know. If you have the funds you could also pay people to submit to directories very cheap at that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hade Posted February 1, 2007 Author Share Posted February 1, 2007 Thanks for the feedback guys. I must admit, I disagree that many links in a short space of time can be a bad think, because what about new but very popular websites, which everyone suddenly loves and links to. These sites would be victims of their own successes! I was worried about the fact I've submitted many descriptions which are exactly the same, but then I though that in the context of the whole page text, each page would still be perceived as quite different by Google.

Correct, however I would really change the anchor text and descriptions just to better help your site. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mpiscopo Posted February 2, 2007 Share Posted February 2, 2007 Yes, use different anchor text for the directories. Your anchor text should have they keywords you're trying to optimize for within it. Also, Google will punish sites for getting too many links in a short amount of time - however, they are talking about thousands of links. If you manually entered them by hand, then you didn't do that many (at least not in the thousands). You should have a monthly goal of getting x number of new links. It is a lot of work, so you can outsource it (elance.com is one good place to find someone to outsource to). You're on the right path, keep building those links.

Hade Posted February 2, 2007 Author Share Posted February 2, 2007 Thanks guys, I have a student friend who will happily accept prison wages to do it from now on! I've had enough of posting links. I've done hundreds. Read the forum rules... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
