Pagerank changes for our Directories

Google over the weekend has made changes to two of our directories - Moreuk.com and Smilelocal.com. Each of the the two directories had a Page Rank of Zero. Both home pages have been changed to a Page Rank of 4. I will be looking at the stats over the next week to see if this will make much difference to the amount of searches we receive on or directory network. This site (Customer street SEO) has only been live since the 21st of september and it allready has a pagerank of 2 on the homepage and also a 3 on the introduction page.

Directory submissions if done right could be a great way to increase the number of links to your website and hence increasing your rankings. One major benefit the directory links provide is that the link would be from a highly relevant category to your site, which now days could be a factor in deciding the theme of your site and helping you rank better for keywords related to that topic.

When doing directory submissions there are several factors to look for in picking the right directories and not wasting your time or money.

Do they have a large exposure on the internet?

Here at Customerstreet we are looking for ways to increase our clients visibility on SERP’s.

We have many Trade Specific Directories that we are looking to overhaul to help get better listings in the search engines. The work has begun and over the forth coming months our clients will notice that they are getting more hits to their company websites due to the fact that our directories are improving their listings on the search engines for over 700 categories that we have in our databases.

Your website should have FOCUS. Your site needs to have a narrow and specific focus. Why is this? Because there are literally millions of websites out there and the visitors you’re lucky enough to attract will only take a few seconds to decide whether they’ll stick around or whether they’ll simply click the back button and continue browsing elsewhere. Within those few seconds, your site needs to communicate exactly what it’s designed to do so the visitor can decide if it meets his or her needs or not.
