They don’t have the same value anymore as in their glorydays. A lot of smaller dmoz categories aren’t even indexed anymore by google.
It can be real tough though to get into dmoz nowadays because a lot of editors simply reject a lot of pages.

Very nice information I particularly didn’t realize that the mod rewrite would help out so I am looking into it. I have one question about the DMOZ directory, I have applied to it several times and waited upwards of four months and they will not include my site. I have all unique content and have been online for over six months. I am getting great traffic, sometimes more than 300 unique visitors a day but no DMOZ, and google still has my page rank zero. If you have a chance would you take a peek at my site, do I have something terribly wrong?
Thank you very much,
Rich (aka DisplacedGuy )

If you’re not really up to scratch on how Google works then I’d strongly advise you focus on your content and promoting same.

@Paul – directory links in general are adding less value over time IMO. Directory submission should simply be outsourced and then forget about it. You may find some decent directories, but these are few and far between.

@Tim – hope it helped.

Thanks for commenting. This is an old post, but when I recently took a look to update it I actually decided virtually all of this still applies. Funny how little has changed in past 3 years – if anything these things are actually more important now than they were then.

It is very rare I read an SEO article and agree with it throughout, but with this I do. in particular what you said about anchor text. alot of people are blinkered by the ‘content is king’ cliche that they ignore the facts that this, and the authority of the domain within the nice, are the most important things.

Glad you found it useful, and I agree that not a whole lot has changed. I think social bookmarking can be useful for discovery, but basically any cheap manual “service” you can buy from developing countries is unlikely to have much value due to the shear amount of spam you get. The main changes since I wrote this are perhaps related to flash and quality of links required to rank well.

I must rewrite this sometime actually. Thanks for dropping by.

It did take me off track for a while, but found it a great read.

Unfortunately it didn’t answer my question, but many more in it’s place! The top 10 although a few years old now, still seems very relevant today. The only major addition would be perhaps social bookmarking? Would love to hear your thoughts on that topic!

Thanks for stopping by. This is quite an old article now (it scares me to think I wrote this almost 2 years ago now…)

This article was all about how to get into Google as opposed to how to rank or optimise your search snippets.

I’m not quite understanding your second comment about ‘a[t] least 3 internal links to the same site at your webpage otherwise Google don´t think the website are relevant for the search engine’. I know of many pages that don’t link to any other internal pages and manage to rank quite well. I know Google were thinking of looking at orphan pages carefully to see if they might be parasitic, but not sure they implemented anything on this. I’d also use single-page websites as a good example of pages that don’t link to any other internal pages. Maybe I’ve picked you up wrong?

Best rgds, and again thanks for stopping by and commenting :)

What about the title tag – so people want to click at the result i Google and the meta description are also important – that you make the meta description as a sales text.

Also internal linking are important – a least 3 internal links to the same site at your webpage otherwise Google don´t think the website are relevant for the search engine.

Certainly seems to help me – I have my hosting in the UK. If I was starting again, would do as you suggest. But, am worried about the downtime in switching to an Irish host/domain registrar if I was to do it now.

I do also own the .ie equivalent and redirect to the .com site – don’t know if this helps or hinders things. Probably doesn’t do any harm though.

The new geo-targeting tool is only available for gTLD – .com, .net, .org etc.

From what I’ve seen the tool can work exceptionally well, but that observation is on a limited set of sites.

If possible I’d still work with ccTLD – go for .ie if your site is focusing on Ireland.

IMO validation will generally ensure low crawl issues, but apart from that I dont see that valid code will increase rankings.

That search is likely more connected to previous anchors containing relevant fragments of the query. So the googlebomb defusing may only act at a very targeted level. You often see strong changes in rank from related queries when you optimise for short tail phrases.

I know this is a very old post but I curious about page validation. Apart from the obvious reasons (like allowing googlebot to crawl the site without running into any problems) are there any other advantages in SEO terms to validate pages? Is there any proof out there to back it up?

Also I thought Google killed the bomb ability? What are your thoughts on this:

If not then you will lose all history for the page including backlinks and PR.

Any tools you could recommend for building a site map?

Also having a problem with mod_rewrite

A lot of good information for anyone who wants to get a site indexed by Google.

You mentioned further up the comments about getting listed in DMOZ as a quick method of getting indexed by Google. This is true and very effective, but increasingly difficult as getting listed in DMOZ these days can take much longer than getting indexed in Google!

Another good option is just to pay to be included in some high authority directories such Yahoo! Directory, Business.com and many others. But hey… it all comes down to your budget.
