Social Bookmarking Sites

Just like link directories, you can get a backlink through Social Bookmarking Websites. Getting backlinks through social bookmarking is a lot easier than getting it through link directories. Social bookmarking sites are the ones that allow you to bookmark your favorite links socially, in a manner that they are visible to others visiting the site. Most of these sites allow other users to rate a link submitted by others and if your link can make the homepage of the site through user ratings, you can get tons of traffic from these sites, a huge exposure and a high PR backlink. While submitting your site to social bookmarking sites, make sure your submissions don't look like spam.

Here is a list of top social bookmarking sites

http://stumbleupon.com
http://reddit.com
http://technorati.com
http://mixx.com

http://del.icio.us

First submit to these top social bookmarking sites, then there are others too. If you want to suggest a social bookmark to this list, please do so by commenting below.

Quality Directories

High-quality link directories still hold value in SEO. Seems like Google will consider 'paid directories' only as quality directories. And those paid directories that have some editorial value which means they will reject a site despite receiving a payment from them like the Yahoo directory.

See for yourself, Matt Cutts speaks about directories...

New Trend in Link Directories

I have noticed a new trend in link directories and that is...

Well, make a guess...

Okay let me tell you. It is adding unique, useful and optimized for search engines content. Well this is a really good trend and I appreciate it. And I believe every directory owner should go for it. Not only it will add value to their directory and bring more unique visitors but this practice will also save link directories from dieing.

The new wave of webmasters not submitting their sites to the link directories will "wave off" and people will start submitting their sites to link directories again which will save all link directories from dieing. So, its quite a bit of social work.

Another benefit of this is increase in profit. The huge amount of organic traffic that this unique content will fetch through search engines will increase your site earnings.

So, webmasters if you own a directory, start adding unique, useful and optimized articles and content to it.

Getting High PR

As I said before that I will be posting how I got a PR 3 in less than 2 months, so here it is...

Working with other blog and websites I felt there is something more to SEO and high PR than just backlinks and this is what has been proved with this blog. I got a few backlinks( at least compared to my other sites and blogs, they look few), like 400 something. But all those were backlinks from sites having same or relevant titles and content. So, I learned that backlinks from related keywords can improve your PR and ranking in SERPS.

Page Rank Update, I have PR3

Oh, I just noticed that this blog i.e. "SEO LINK DIRECTORIES" has become a PR 3 blog in less than 2 months!!!
It is really beyond my expectation. With just 14 posts in two months, I was expecting a PR 1 and PR 2 was what I dreamed about. So its a 3 now. I am planning to work hard on this blog from now on to attain a PR 4 on next Google's toolbar PR update.
With this PR update I have learned some new things about SEO and Page Rank(PR) which I will share with you soon.

Directories

Was really busy with another new blog. Will start posting informative stuff about the link directories soon. If you want to know about directories, you can put your queries in the comments and I will answer.
