There are a number of free web directories that are decent places to put contextual links on. The key is to 'case the joint' first, check out the pages/sections where your link should appear, to see if the page metrics (high TF, RD, DA/PA etc) are already there. Getting a number of branded links approved on these places, on that basis should be helpful to one's site.
You can try business directories. But target only those having high DA. But most seo experts don't use today for backlinks.Hello
I finally have my two niche sites completed and am now starting to get some backlinks done.
Are web/link directories still worth pursuing? OR will they harm my ranking more than they will help?
