Directory Update #19

*** Thread closed and locked. Latest Update is live, all new changes can be made at Directory Update #20 ***

The latest available directories on info vilesilencer:
- Download The Excel Sheet (http://info.vilesilencer.com/seo-friendly-list.xls) Last Updated 30th September 2007
- SEO Friendly Free Directory List (http://info.vilesilencer.com/main.php?rock=seo-friendly.php) Last Updated 30th September 2007


SEO Friendly Certification

I have decided to introduce an SEO Friendly Certification Button for those directories who wish to indicate that their directory has been validated by me as an SEO friendly resource.

http://info.vilesilencer.com/seo-friendly.gif

NB: There are two rules when using this image.

1. The link to this site's homepage MUST remain as part of the image display. If it does not, then you are violating my conditions for use of this image.

2. You cannot display this button unless your directory is on either the General, Pay-For-Inclusion or Niche Directory Lists on this site. If you are not on my lists, then you have not been certified by me.

To use the SEO friendly certification button on your site simply paste the following code, where you want the button to appear, on your site.

<a href="http://info.vilesilencer.com/" title="SEO Friendly Certified by Info Vilesilencer"><img style='border: 0px;' src="http://info.vilesilencer.com/seo-friendly.gif" alt="SEO Friendly Certified" /></a>

There is no need to download any images. The code will grab the button from my site, saving you bandwidth. The dimensions of the image are 88 x 31.

The following directories are scheduled for review and addition to the next Info Vilesilencer update. If your directory isn't listed below it currently is not under review. Please submit your directory in this thread if you wish to be added to the SEO Friendly Free Directory List next update.


Inclusion Rules
=============
To be listed on info vilesilencer your directory must meet the following criteria.

* Must have a UFO (unconditionally free option). No reciprocal required.
* Must use direct & static links. No rel=nofollow attributes or redirects.
* Your robots.txt file must not block search engine spiders from crawling and indexing your listings/links.


* If your directory does not offer the SITE TITLE for free as part of the submission then it does not meet the criteria of being SEO Friendly, since this is the most important aspect of listing in a directory.

* If you offer your directory for review then change it from Free to Reciprocal or Pay for Inclusion during the review period, then your directory will be removed and will have to wait for the next update before being considered again (even if you change the site back to free).

* If you decide to change your directory from Free to Reciprocal or Pay for Inclusion after an update and it is flagged for removal, then your directory will be removed as per the next update and you will have to wait one full update before being considered again (even if you change the site back to free after being flagged).

* URL provided for the directory under review must lead directly to the directory and not redirect or initiate popups. Those that are not direct or that contain popups will be rejected/removed.

* DO NOT PM ME FOR INCLUSION YOU WILL BE IGNORED AND SO WILL YOUR DIRECTORY *


Paid Inclusion Requirements
===================
* The paid list is currently locked as per this thread


Cap Rules:
======
With the 500 Cap now in effect, we will not add new directories until the cap drops below 500 (i.e. directories that are currently in the list are removed due to no longer meeting the criteria).

In the situation where there are more directories than places available on the list, precedence will be given to the directories with the highest PR. This is an interim measure to be used for the time-being until the new format is complete.

Health Niche:

edoctor.biz -> cannot submit to nested (lowest level) categories (like Disability > Epilepsy). I sent some feedback. Hope it is resolved soon.

fitana.com -> got a DNS error when trying to access site

why-franchise.com -> 404 error (is this really a health directory? strange URL for one)

- Looks like eDoctor went paid. I'm only seeing 1 listing option for $19US/year. So let's flag, and if you get a change from the owner we can adjust.

Dan, it appeared to me that it might be possible to submit free to eDoctor.biz without checking the radio button, but the 2nd tier categories just don't show up on the drop box list.

I'll let you know what feedback I get.

Yo Dan, i just got a surprise to see that you added my other directory - AtomVine (http://atomvine.artofbam.com) to the list. I didn't think the URL's were SEO friendly, if that is the case and it's an oversight, feel free to remove it. If not, Thanks!

elinkdirectory-co-uk has gone reciprocal. It doesn't seem to say it has, but it won't let me submit without a reciprocal link listed on the submission form.

categorydump-com and futuradirectory-com have gone paid or recip.

*Sigh* it always seems to be the same after the new list gets published.

Dan
10-04-2007, 10:44 PM
PaulS

checking out eLink they've changed their guideline to:
Only reciprocal submissions are accepted.

So yes they are definitely recip and we'll flag

I'll flag category dump and futura as well.

I'll do a mini update and remove all these directories to try and discourage the ship-jumping.

edit where's category dump and futura from I couldn't find either...

If they weren't on the list, I can't remove em...

Balls, sorry Dan, I thought I'd checked the list but I must have mixed it up with the spreadsheet of links done for a client last month. They were mentioned in this forum but must have never made the list - maybe they went paid quicker than I thought.

Dan
10-05-2007, 12:39 AM
No problems. It actually happens quite a lot, and they do look familiar. They would've been mentioned and not added. As soon as I see the names, if they look familiar I just go and check whether they are meeting the criteria or not... THEN I go and actually see if they are on the list.

Dan
10-14-2007, 12:26 AM
My suggestion, would be to stick with 1 free directory.

Rather than spreading your time thin over several directories, you dedicate it to 1, and ensure the listings are current, and high quality and it will get its dues :)

Thanks for your suggestion Dan, you are right. But I would be launching only 1 more free directory.

Maybe by early next year or by dec end this year. I am working on its backlinks and other things from 1.5 months now.

I plan to "only" have atleast 2 forever free directories. :)

elinkdirectory-co-uk has gone reciprocal. It doesn't seem to say it has, but it won't let me submit without a reciprocal link listed on the submission form.

categorydump-com and futuradirectory-com have gone paid or recip.

*Sigh* it always seems to be the same after the new list gets published.

Yep. My elinkdirectory.co.uk turned to recip only for a while .. it's now back to FREE!

so I'm asking for reinclusion, please.

It turned reciprocal because of the amount of submissions I had - a lot of which were terrible sites full of adsense and wikipedia links -, and I like to check every one. -Those type of submissions have calmed down now so it's REOPENED for FREEEE. :)

first batch:
- flagged them all. A few points to note. Computer Remote Control was on the list for a long long time. It was on the list before PHPLD was created/launched. Agile List has been that way since it was added. It has been on the list for quite a long time. These are the sorts of directories we need to remove, or *help*. The categorisation is pretty worthless (especially when one of the cats is called *trash*), and there are next-to-no sites listed, meaning that it is probably only touting itself as free to get the traffic from here.

second batch:
- discover directory was removed last update.
- flagged Tavex, Internet Stromer, Quick Web Index (paid/reciprocal)

third batch:
- 1 Biz List already flagged on 19th Oct.
- flagged 1 for search, hotgossip, 1-2 List (site down)
- flagged Katulago (no longer in English)

How do you handle PR updates?

When my directory was added (it is still on the newly added list) it was PR0. With the recent update it jumped to PR3.

Is there a place to get that updated?

If this was the wrong place to ask, I apologize.

Dan..

Question,


Now that my directory has reached over 1300 hundred submissions and I am steadily getting 40-50 submissions a day I am thinking of removing the completely free option and offering just free reciprocals with the paid options. It jumped from PR0 to PR3 in just a few months of operation.

My question is how will this effect my listing? I know that most of my submission traffic is due largely to your site so I don't want to jeopardize that.

I didn't quite understand the rules:

* If you decide to change your directory from Free to Reciprocal or Pay for Inclusion after an update and it is flagged for removal, then your directory will be removed as per the next update and you will have to wait one full update before being considered again (even if you change the site back to free after being flagged).

Can I change my directory since I am already listed? Do I need to submit again? I haven't changed my directory at all and wont until I get confirmation from you that it is allowed.


Thanks.

Dan
11-28-2007, 09:52 AM
Paid list is locked, and you have to have an unconditional free option available to be on the free list - so if you change you will be removed.

You might be getting a large portion of submission traffic from here, but you have to realise that by being on the free list, the submitters that visit your directory expect you to be free. If you aren't then there really isn't much point being on the free list is there?

CoryHawk

my directory, which is free - elinkdirectory.co.uk PR4, is getting bogged down in submissions. I'm getting about 40 a day at the moment. I don't have time anymore (I also run my own company) to check 40 sites so i'm turning it into paid directory with a small fee for review.

So @ Dan, I did ask for re-inclusion in the free list earlier in this thread but I'd like to that back.
