The first directory contest (at least to my knowledge) has started. The official site of the contest can be found here. According to the site, the aim of the contest is to identify the directories that provide the most benefit in terms of SEO to the submitters. The rules are simple, directory owners should simply [...]
Since yesterday there seems to be a lot of PR movement (via Digitalpoint). Pagerank hasn’t really settled yet so the PRs we are seeing may not be final. However, I find it interesting that a lot of the major players in the directory scene are experiencing a drop of their PR. The biggest surprise is [...]
Let’s face it, most people submit to directories just for the potential SEO benefits, so I thought I should make a post about my opinions on the use keyword rich titles. Of course this post also covers some of my opinions about the benefits or disadvantages of generally using keyword rich anchor text for links.

I can understand the motives of people trying to [...]
This isn’t an actual post but more like a question. Has anyone figured out why bloggers don’t submit to general directories? and when I say bloggers I mean genuine bloggers not SEO bloggers or companies that have attached a blog to their company’s site. They obviously submit to blog directories and are even happy to [...]
Google seems to have a sense of humor. I guess everyone by now has noticed the PR update that happened on 13/7, I know most people refer to it as a 14/7 update but it’s because of the time differences. During this update my directory Your Index got a nice PR6 :). However that’s not [...]
It seems that there is a PR update happening today (13/07/2006). I was the first one to report at Digital Point (notice the screenshot ).
