It has been a while since I ran other directories beside astawerks.net but I am back!. just last week I launched http://www.wnym.ws which is a free directory. It gets around 800 visits a day! and has been online for only 1 week. I am very strict about this site. since its free sites with a PR under 2 will be deleted if they are not recipts or featured links. I also remove sites that are submitted in the wrong categories. This directory will become an authority site soon, thats my word!. I am also launching a Law directory tonight so stay tune for that URL.

Peace!

Today I am pleased to announce the launch of a new PR 4 Bidding directory.  The URL of this directory is Bidding Directory .  The Directory works the same as Astawerks.net does.  Webmasters can submit bids to get their site to the front page. The thing that I am doing different on this directory then other directories is this.  I am allow people to submit their affiliate links,  this way you can promote your clickbank products,  Amazon, or anything else that you are a pushing.  Come check it out!.  its still new so there is a good chance that you can make the front page!.

First I am going to give Chris911 from the Digital point Forums 100% credit on this one.  He figured out that if you enter this Query into Google

ENTER YOUR TARGET KEYWORD “Remember my personal information” “Notify me of follow-up comments”

that you will be able to find  Blogs that are do follow.  I have been doing this and it is  100% legit.  All that you need to do is change where is says  Enter your target keyword, and enter what you are searching for in its place.

To find pages with the highest possible pagerank Install the Firefox plugin SEO Quake.  Then enter that search into Google.  You can then sort out pages by Pagerank.   Using this method you can assure yourself that all of your backlinks will be on a page that is ranked.

One think that I ask of you is please do not Spam these blogs.  Join in the conversation and be polite!

Just today I was searching google for my other site Upchuckr.com and I ran across an interesting link.  The link was coming from http://www.jaydean.com.au/whats_my_google_page_rank.php which is a another page rank checker plus a few other stats such as

The best part about this is that you can discover other high PR sites which might end up letting you post your link!

Here’s the top 5 claims made by the Wanna be  SEO Experts:

1. Top 10 Search Engine Placements for $19.95/month - Search engine optimization companies that promise “fully-automated technologies” creating “full websites that have thousands of pages” for only $19.95 a month are not offering an SEO solution, they’re selling spam. They might claim these “content-driven” sites are search engine friendly; however, more than likely they’re scrapping content off other websites and creating reconstituted spam.
2. We have “special” relationships with the search engines - No matter what these SEO spammers say to you, they do not have special relationships with the search engines. They can’t get your pages indexed any faster than Joe SEO down the street. They don’t have the inside scoop on Google’s algorithm.
3. You don’t have to change your website.We host the domains and create the websites that we submit for you. - This spammer’s statement really scared me. So for a fee, they create microsites which YOU HAVE NO CONTROL OVER using your company’s brand, and spam them over the search engines. Even if they generate traffic that converts, the minute you stop paying the spammer, the traffic dries up, because the spammer just changes the DNS and points that traffic elsewhere.
4. We’ll submit your site to thousands of search engines and directories, getting your websites all over the World Wide Web. - Search engine optimization isn’t about getting your site into “thousands” of search engines and directories. Most companies only need to worry about the top 3 search engines: Google, Yahoo and MSN. All three search engines actively crawl the internet looking for new content, so you don’t have to submit your site to them, just employ some good link building techniques to be where the search engines are crawling.
5. We guarantee our search engine placement results! - Most business owners want a guarantee on their investment, especially when it’s on something they completely don’t understand. However, in search engine optimization there are no guarantees no matter what the SEO spammers say, because in the end, it’s the search engines, and not SEOs that decide what’s relevant and should have top search engine placements. The only guarantee I’ll give you is that there’s some loophole in the contract that let’s the sp
