I can’t find it, what would it say?

Hard to measure direct impact of those links — but I really believe that it does help. I once got a nearly empty site to PR2 using only directory links.

Hi Mwadmin,

Yes I did and received replies and help over Easter!! How good is that for support!

I must firstly say sorry for not getting back with an update, but as soon as I had it working spent time with family who where scowling at me for working over Easter.

Ok what happened, in case anyone else does the same mistake: first issue, to many keywords ended up using approx 8 keyword phrases.

Second – The About Me box – I wrote a two word line, then hit enter and wrote a little paragraph. The software did not enjoy me making it do two seperate lines so to speak. When typing in the About Me box, keep typing. Do not hit enter to have seperate lines.

Small issue or mistake I know, however big enough the software said “I don’t think so girlie, not happy you doing that!” 😉

Regards
Julie

Thanks Dennis — just file a ticket and I shoot the bonus right over.

I just purchased DLPro 5minutes ago, hope I can get some effect on my website.

I do use this tool on new small minisites. I think it is perfect actually because the approval/indexing process is slow. I use this + article marketing + 1 way links + a couple of other things on every new site.

I am not a subdomain guy, but I think the problem is not the software. I think the problem is that some (maybe most) directories do not accept subdomains. But the deep link sites that Josh supports in the software sure might. I would do some research and ping Josh as well. He might have a better answer.

Thanks for your purchase, Vlad. Much appreciated.

Thanks for your comment Althaf;

To directly answer your question: No. Josh believes Web Directory links have SEO value and so do I. Tests on my sites over the last 2 years support that conclusion.

It always get’s my attention when people use the word “fact” and “Google” in the same sentence. The only fact that I know is that only Google actually knows what they are doing. So, if you believe that it is a fact that Google discounts links from Web directories, I would love to see the data that supports that.

Link directories must not be completely hated by Google. DMOZ enjoys PR8 and many of the directories in Josh’s list are PR4 and higher.

Will this software alone allow you to rank #1 for “make money online” tomorrow. No, of course not. No one is claiming that.

However, it will allow you to get a lot of backlinks with a low amount of effort at low cost. To me, that is the real selling point. Deep Linker Pro is very cost effective.

My belief is that link directory submissions are an important part of a natural, balanced link portfolio that should also include things like SB site links, RSS syndication, article marketing backlinks, natural links and so on.

Thanks again for your comment,
Mark

I have not seen that issue on my copy — did you submit a ticket at askjoshspaulding.com? Josh is usually super fast to respond to tickets.

Most deep link directories allow multiple submissions per site.

Let’s say masonworld.com is targeting “internet marketing” — so I submit http://www.masonworld.com to all the link directory sited sites using that keyword. However, let’s also say I have internal pages on “article marketing” and “deep linking” — I would submit those pages too (to the directories that accept deep links).

I have just purchased this software, was looking forward to getting it up and running today. Yes issue time 🙂 I have followed setup added info on new url. I click “ok” but my url is not going across to the “Submission Url” drop down box. I have updated, edited, re done it a number of times but all to no avail.

Can anyone help with this issue please or perhaps have an idea why the url is not moving across please?

Thank you,
Happy Easter to all.

Good stuff, as always, from Josh and you.
But I am missing something…
I’m not sure I grasp the use of deep links vs. top-level.
I assume you’d use one vs. the other?
I assume there’s only one submission per site?

Thanks in advance.

Sure — Josh tries to support all the directory categories out there (he even has a guessing algorithm when there is not an exact match. And,, I find these tools can be more effective in non-IM niches since site owners are not automatically SEO gurus.

To your question, there is a Religion category in DLPro.

Hope my previous reply covered that.

I cannot speak for Google (no one can). But I can tell you that I have used this very software on new sites with no ill effects during testing. Also, I have ordered hundreds of directlry backlinks for new sites in the past with no problem. I never worry about it because the links take a while to get approved, and then they take longer to get indexed, and all that happens at a different rate at each site.

Link directories are a perfectly legitimate way to help people find your site. If you were doing these manually, you could easily do one every 6 minutes — about 10 per hour. If you did that for a week ten hours a day, that would be about the same as what you are doing here. I cannot imagine that anyone would see anything wrong with working hard to get your site out there manually. You’re doing the same things with this software.

Again — I cannot speak for G…just my opinion.

It’s a great question — my experience is that these links are so slow to be approved and indexed (and all at different rates) that they don’t notice at all. I do always recommend that you have multiple sources for your links, however. A broad linking portfolio is always better that a collection of links that come all from one place.

Are there categories that would be relevant to Christian sites within DL Pro or this primarily for the Internet marketing crowd?

Thanks..

But!

I would still like a limit on daily submits. Traffic Bug has 3 settings – what you might call slow medium and fast.

I think you know this — The important thing is that you understand the competition around your keywords. None of these tools are a magic traffic bullet.

Many directories do not require a reciprocal link. When they do, the software puts a link in for you. The software comes with a file that contains reciprocal nofollow links back to all the directories. This will satisfy most of them (it is an automated check in most cases).

I agree with Josh that it is probably not very important — but if people are asking for it, then it probably makes sense to add that feature. I’ll be sure to give that input to Josh. I am personally not very concerned about speed, but I do understand the input.
