Directories are the better means for acquiring related links and targeted traffic. There are a immense number of directory sites present all over the world. Several of them are less useful to users. We need to judge the quality of directory sites before submitting our site to that directory. Several of the directories even as charge a nice amount, so we need to be really careful before investment our money in the directories. The several types of criteria on which we can judge a directory are as follows:-
1> PAGE RANK:- Page Rating is a numeric value that represents how important a page is on the web. This is the criteria assigned
by Google. It depends on two factors viz. "On Page" and "Off Page". Fundamentally we can judge a directory on the basis of its PR. The PR should be a decent one. It makes not mean that we are avoiding the zero PR directory sites. Today's zero PR may be tommorow's 5 PR.
Basically a directory site should at least be cached by Google and have several decent PR.
2> Spider Friendly Links:- Spider friendly links are the links which can be spidered by the search engine robots e.g. Google bot is the automaton of Google. It means the directory site should provide static link i.e. it means the url of the directory from wherever
we get the link should not contain any "?" or "&" mark. These are clearly an example of dynamic link as they generally pass several query to the information and gather the information from there and shows these in the result page. So we should avoid these types of directories which include such type of url.
The another criteria for spider friendly link is that the link should not airt to our site, it should be a direct one. It means if we place the mouse over the link to our site, the url of our site should be clearly visible in the status bar. For this we can besides check the source of that particular page, whether they are giving us a direct link or they are redirecting to our site.
3> Easy Submission Procedure:- The submission procedure of that directory site should be as easy as possible. Several directories have a drawn-out submission procedure which sometimes irritates us. Several of the directories require user login before we can submit any link. So the submission procedure mightiness not be complex enough.
4> Well Organized Categories:- The categories of that directory site should be well organized meaning it makes not contain too galore or too less number of categories. There should be a balance between the number of categories. The categories should besides be proper, meaning the sub category food makes not move under category directories.
5> Should Contain Nice Links:- Generally the links in any category should be nice enough i.e. makes not contain links to bad neighborhood sites. Bad neighborhood sites means the amerciable sites, adult sites, pharmacy sites, gambling sites etc. If the site is containing several adult site or gambling site then it should contain in the proper category only.
6> How Old That Directory IS:- We have to check the production date of that directory also, as that directory mightiness be a new one. We can check the age of the directory from http://www.whois.sc .As we all cognize OLD IS GOLD so we should try to give emphasize on the older sites. Well, it makes not mean that we should avoid the newer ones, as later they wish besides become old.
7> Alexa Rank:- Although not a big deal but alexa rating is the criteria of a directory which tells us how more visitors they are getting. We can check the alexa rating at http://www.searchbliss.com/alexa-rank-tool.htm
So, depending on all these factors we can easily judge whether it is worthy to submit in a directory or not.
