Stop directory linking

[21red]

The glory days of directory links are over.. well over..

There are too much of directories stuffed with bad links, people are all over the web serving directory submissions for $10 / $20 / $50 for thousands of links.

They cannot be any good for you.. Maybe for a very not competitive term it may help, but still.. very poor quality.

Glory days are indeed over, but there are still a bunch of directories that are quality, so still help your rankings.

Go after niche directories. These work good

I rather have other links, on frontpage and related to my own sites, no dir links
