			<description><![CDATA[well, as 1 of those very, very few directory submission services that has from in the very beginning been reviewing the directories; about 4 years ago google did something dramatic and in a matter of days they de-indexed thousands upon thousands of directories; the crappy ones of course and that's just it; what people don't seem to realize is the difference between the concept of doing directory submissions and the fact that all those directories are different, that there are really good directories and really bad ones we actually checked more than 60.000 directories manually over the years and you can sort that list from really good ones down to really bad ones, and all that changed over the years is that google got better at eliminating the bad ones, which doesn't effect the good ones at all; not much actually changed when it comes down to quality directory submissions; that has always worked and still does it's just because you can't use those thousands and thousands of crappy ones that the few hundred you can still use are just not enough; that's the only problem; there not enough good directories anymore to do solely directory submissions; there are still a lot of good directories, but for competitive markets its just not enough. you can do about 500, and for smaller sites that might very well be enough, but bigger, more competitive sites just need more, a lot more, so after those 500 directory submissions are done you just have to switch to something else, but those first 500 are still just fine, especially the local and niche directories are still good places to get links from.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[I got negative results even few months back actually. Google is really going after the seos - the problem is such tactics will fuel the black hatters even more because they play the numbers game with hundreds of tiny sites and can afford to have few sites go down every now and then.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[I have a link directory network that I'd like to sell... ... ... Like everything else it's not the 'type' of link, it's the 'value' of the link. SEOs seem to be an all or nothing bunch. If 10 links are good, 10,000 are better. If some sites are not good for link building then all sites like that are not good for link building.]]></description>
