Authority links out

[rogerdan]

That's sure a forum spam done by me earlier. Pardon my ignorance for SEO stuff. At the time, I kept thinking that the more URLs that point to you, the higher your ranking will go. And yes, I did went higher, but just for the keyword dreamshelter. Geez, I practically wasted 3 months of SEO time!

But after staying in this forum for sometime, I finally realised that all that I know and did for backlinks was definitely wrong. The advice here sure has steered me to the right path. Of course, I am grateful that all you nice people were willingly to exchange links with me.

Well, I've got to get back to SEO stuff again.

Hi Roger

2. And this is an absolute fact: the rule is one site, one listing and as far as real estate submissions are concerned the only acceptable ones are those that:
a) Show the agent's name and company as the title (e.g. Jerry Hendriks, RE/MAX Garden City Realty Inc.)
b) Is submitted for inclusion in the category that applies to the office "bricks and mortar" address (e.g. St. Catharines) and no other location (regardless of where the agent personally lives or what area he/she serves).
Before you make any submission, drill down through the Open Directory project homepage until you find the appropriate regional/locations category and model your submission on the listings that are already there.
Trust me on all this. I was a dmoz editor in a previous life.

Duncan,
If I haven't done so already thank you for this advice.

The first time I submitted to DMOZ my site was rejected. After reading your post I resubmitted, following your guidelines, and was listed in in less than sixty (60) days.

I'm glad I found your post. Thanks Again!

Sarahk,
What conclusion, if any, did you draw about outbound links to Authority sites?

Mmmm. None yet, the last update was a bit of a fizzer. I'm not listed as a back link for 50% of those DMOZ pages I checked, but interestingly I was for some even when the page was only PR2. Example: Tennessee property (PR2) links to Tennessee Real Estate (PR5) and is listed as a backlink - despite the supposed PR4 limit Now, DMOZ will have benefited... but have I?

All my pages are being regularly indexed and cached and I've now got direct links to all the pages so I'm going to see if the next update has a significant improvement.
