For some reason, I have never had any luck with DMOZ. I am starting to wonder if the days of getting a link from DMOZ are gone, and are also no longer worth the effort. BTW is Zeal free, and is it worth the effort to get a link? What directories many no longer be worth the effort and which ones still are WAY worth the effort, in your opinion? I have some in mind but am curious what your thoughts are for 2010 and beyond?

Still waiting for some feedback from DMOZ – I guess being one of the worlds biggest authority site, it takes some time to review and approve a website.

How do you know what is a good backlink, and what is a bad? If quality beats quantity, then how do you know what is a quality link? -Matt San Clemente Mortgage

I think that a listing in a direcotory or a blog directory is not for the sake of getting traffic. It’s for getting an inbound link. If it’s a quality inbound link from say, a blog directory with an Alexa less then 100,000 and a PageRank of 5 or greater, then it will score popularity points with the search engines. And I think that you do need, at least a few quality inbound links to your site or blog. Then the rest will grow organically.

It seems as though quality over quantity is starting to apply to every avenue of positioning ourselves on the web. I’ve made the mistake of quantity over quality for one of my web projects for link building, that mess was hard to clean up

I think links in free directories should be kept to a minimum, really. There are more effective ways to promote your site. A link in an established directory like DMoz would be ok, but there are so many pointless directories.

Thanks for the advice. I was thinking it would be best to stick to only relevant directories, too. I figured you had a better chance of actually getting traffic from a niche directory.

Hi! Yaro.

Thanks for clarification. I’ve just looked at a few sites which my Disclaimer page has higher rank than the content. Oops!

Looks like I’ve got to do quite a bit of ‘No-following’ to put that right.

Presumably Google likes us to do that as it makes their ranking system actually work better? After all, I presume that it does their reputation no good at all to have high ranking Disclaimer and Privacy pages.
