Why do you have some directories that what you to pay them and also you should have a reciprocal link that does make much sense at all?[/i]

Some directories have high PR, and directory owners assume monetary values. This is why some directories only accept paid submissions. With regard to reciprocal link directories, it's meaningless if you're submitting to acquire IBL. What you want is one-way IBL, not reciprocated IBL.

1. Submit to free directories first and foremost.

2. If you have money, then submit to paid directories (that do not require reciprocal links).

3. Ignore directories that require reciprocal links.

SEO you have said it all.

IMO directories are only important for brand new sites that you have to get indexed. After that more natural linking will help you better in terms of SEO

Google is acting up weird, so it's kind tough for us to determine what exactly we should be doing to achieve high rankings in SE. However, content creation won't be wasted in the long term because quality content will be valued no matter what. Links, on the other hand, can be interpreted very differently in the coming years.

Exactly, that is why I mention natural linking.

And the best way to get natural links is by having content that people will want to link to Wink

Google is always going to try to pick the best content, but the only way that they can find the content is by links from other websites. Smile

Ok, here's an important question. Let's say that I keep growing this forum and other forums. Do you think that people will start linking to these forums without my asking? If so, when?

Ok, that makes me feel better. I have a new site as well, and this is the one; http://news.allthedestinations.com/. It's indexed in Yahoo and MSN, but it's not indexed in Google. So ... something funny is going on ...

Im not sure about google acting up, but all I know is if you get linked from a pr 6 site, your site gets indexed right away. Guess your new sites needs to be submitted to some directories with HIGH PR.

I never submit to paid ones, since there are so many good free ones. You should always check if directory is not banned and if there are indexed pages in google. If so go and submit it doesn't matter if pr0 or 10 just submit and forget about it.
