Web Directory submissions

[gkd_uk]

Hi

I was going through approving my web directory submissions and came across submissions from The AA and Powergen energy.

What kind of companies have you had submitting to your directory?

Thanks

I come across lots of big names too and the funny think is that they want free inclusion, I usually just laugh and reject their submission. They don't give me free service, especially my bank Natwest, they submit their website to Definiteweb last week

I agree Temi, large companies like Natwest should be paying

But they may have paid a marketing copmpany to do the marketing for them.

 

[temi]

Yes that is true actually, its the marketing company that is to blame.

Many companies large ones that is, have SEO's working for them, who in turn submit to directories and everywhere they can.

I have not got any so called "big names" so far. But, I do add big names (01 per catagory) on regular basis for free.

 

[temi]

Generous Maldives, and why do you do that, to give your directory more credibility?
I will add non profit making big name for free but I will not add commercial organisations like banks etc for free, even if the directory is free.

Hmm is it a good idea to include certain authority websites for free?

Well, there is an argument that say its good, but I do not believe in that argument.

I've had plenty of authority p0rn and drugs sites submit, but not any real world authority sites that I'm aware of...

Not aware that outbound links count for much -- shame

Outbound links DO count for a LOT
