Hey so I just read this: http://www.blackhatworld.com/blackh...st-directory-list-24000-list-excel-sheet.html I was wondering. Lets say I got a tool that would submit to all of these at once in the frame of a day or two. Wouldn't that be hurtful to my ranking in Google as it would seem like spam or do directories not work like that?
Well, from my experience, it takes a while to get your submission accepted by the directory (if it gets accepted at all). For me some directories have taken 3 to 4 months to accept my submission. Then when it does get accepted, it has to be found by G/Y/B, which takes even more time. So in my opinion, it shouldn't hurt your site.
I am getting directory approval emails 6-9 months down the road from when it was initially submitted. The number of links that go live at the same time is not very high. I guess you get an initial surge of 50-100 links and then a slow trickle over the coming weeks and months.
It would be better if you broke that down a little further. A sudden link jump like that likely would knock your site out for a while, but it will come back later. You would be better off if you submitted 100 daily. Though directories take a while to approve anyways. Hum.. submit 500 a day maybe then.
Right--depends on how often/if they are being indexed---some submission tools that promise that don't come through--some are more powerful. Also depends on how often Google is actually spidering the directories that you are posting too
The more directories you're indexed into, it decreases your chances of high traffic indexers like Google or Bing indexing you.
If you're submitting to 10,000 directories Chances are 8,000 - 9,500 of them are garbage, auto-approval sites that don't screen anything - the rest will check and wait. Therefore likely google will see large dump of backlinks coming online at once. If my site was under 6 months age, I'd do batches 100 spread out by a week or so Over 6 months age batches of 500-1000 spread out by 1-2 weeks
well it totally depends on the directory list. If in that list all directories approves your link instantly or in 24-72 hrs . then it may be risky for your site to submit on all 10k directories. if the list having not so much instant approval directories in it. then no risk in submitting 10k. it would be nice if you try first 1000 , then 1000 . It will let you know by your own experience.
I stopped submissions last year. Strange, still getting approval and rejection messages. You can never think of posting in 10K directories at once. May be if there is any trick to do that.
