I do believe that DoFollow links from high PR will be more beneficial. So, Should I stop submitting my links in NoFollow directories? Or it will help me to get good traffic and PR?

And any one can please suggest me some Dofollow Web Directories with 3 or more PR to submit my site!

Thanks in Advance

Hi Hillary

It's been said a few times, but forum lists of high PR links get watered down as they get spammed to death.

Best bet is research your own, loads of tools our there such as yahoo explorer, and keep quiet about them

Link building is a slow process and most links on forums will have been watered down as said but they won

If you target Google then no-follow links are waster of time and you should stop link building on no-follow websites. You can use
vmoptions(dot)com for get high PR and do-follow directory list.

With respect, I am going to disagree here. Firstly I believe that there is a value to a nofollow link, no matter how small. Secondly, websites that target only dofollow backlinks tend to send warning signals to Google when there is no link diversity. If you are going to actively build backlinks to your site, then you need a good balance of both types for the process to look natural.

If you want to escape from Google ban or penalize then you should make a balance between do follow and no follow links. I suggest you don not stop no-follow directories submission for your website.

Hi,

Using directories as part of an overall plan to promote your site is fine, and its kind of a natural way to go about it - only as part of an overall plan.

Generating links solely from directories in the long run, wont benefit you that much. There are relatively few good quality, human edited directories that add any value to a website, and even less of them are free (when compared to the overall volume of directories available).

You (IMO) would be best switching your efforts to improving your site in terms of indicating to Google what you wish to rank for (improving on-page elements) and showing your visitors you know your niche by delivering great and useful content. Back this up with some other methods (guest posting etc) and your moving in the right direction. Of course, directory submission can be a part of the overall strategy, as getting listed in the best human edited directories is a natural thing to do.

No follow - personally I wouldn't worry about having no follow as part of the strategy, in fact I'd encourage it. Data suggests that sites with a natural link profile that included both do and no follow eventually rank better. If every link pointing to your site was do follow then that tells me you have manipulated your link profile and so it also tells Google, who look to penalise 'unnatural' elements of link building.

Think I just posted about this in another thread but I'll say it again.
Most directories are low quality and not worth submitting to in bulk.
Local business directories are still really good, even if they are nofollow they are still worth submitting to. And even if you don't get a link back at all local directories can act as a citation in Google's eyes and this will improve the rankings of your Google + Places Page.
Not a local business? Then find specialist directories to submit to.
And as Paul says, directory submission should only be part of your overall strategy.

Yes, thanks Rodger.

Like anything, cover lots of areas in moderation, be consistent with it and be patient.
