More than 2 years after writing this and directories still work. Every competitor I’ve researched has done some type of directory link building. Great analysis btw.

@Nick,

Totally agree, even though directories are not the best links out there they are certainly effective and help to get new sites on the map.

I have submitted to directories and done nothing else. I then tracked the results over a month. There is no question directories alone can get you higher ranking. Is it enough to get you to the first position? In most cases no. Maybe for less competitive keywords it might, but then I have not tried it to be sure. There are two type of directories.
1) They link to your main site.
2) They link to internal pages
The best effect is when you do both.

It is a long one but the information within highlights exactly what anyone needs to do in order to rank on the first page of Google. I would definately make the time to understand the principles behind this post.

The main one being link popularity + optimised anchor text + domain maturity = high ranking.

Hi Tim,

A very extensive post. I guess I would need a week to read it.

Cheers,
