Linking Strategies: Directories

[michael_b_seo]

I was pointed to a good link article last night by Rak. Below is the portion of the article that I thought was interesting...

Nice article, though what kind of directories were taken into consideration when people were creating this statistics? I dont think that links from DMOZ directory will give 0 link value as we see on the picture. Another thing is that people that are involved in wood-flooring won't agree with this statistics, because they mostly have directories links and they are sites are OK - I checked...)))

Some directories, like DMOZ, are considered 'authority' I would bet And, directories aren't completely de-valued. It does show that they have value... and 1,000,000 directory links is still a LOT of power (IMO)

It would be a brilliant thread, if people were posting the list of such authority directories... I can start with Yelp, Superpages, Google Local Business Center...
