Finally Matt Cutts has commented about the latest fluctuation in ranking for web directories. His comment was brief and did not go into details. Here is what he said.
Here’s what I’ve said about directories recently:
“Q: Hey, as long as we’re talking about directories, can you talk about the role of directories, some of whom charge for a reviewer to evaluate them?
A: I’ll try to give a few rules of thumb to think about when looking at a directory. When considering submitting to a directory, I’d ask questions like:
- Does the directory reject urls? If every url passes a review, the directory gets closer to just a list of links or a free-for-all link site.
- What is the quality of urls in the directory? Suppose a site rejects 25% of submissions, but the urls that are accepted/listed are still quite low-quality or spammy. That doesn’t speak well to the quality of
the directory.
- If there is a fee, what’s the purpose of the fee? For a high-quality directory, the fee is primarily for the time/effort for someone to do a genuine evaluation of a url or site.
- Those are a few factors I’d consider. If you put on your user hat and ask “Does this seem like a high-quality directory to me?” you can usually get a pretty good sense as well, or ask a few friends for their take on a particular directory.”
He also commented about the delay in Page Rank. Here is what he said.
As far as the toolbar PageRank, I definitely wouldn’t expect to see it in the next few days. Probably not even in the next couple weeks, if I had to guess..
It is now clear that there will not be any Page Rank update at least in the next couple of weeks.
There are many methods at the helm of webmasters to enable them to increase their link popularity. One of the tried and tested methods you can use is to submit to Internet Directories. There are copious numbers of Internet Directories out there just waiting to tell you that a link in their directory is exactly what you and your business need and that it will improve this, improve that, and so on! - The sad reality is however, the majority of Internet Directories on the net care more about taking your money than they do about actually offering you a decent backlink for your inclusion price.
Web Link House is a prime example of a web directory founded on the concept of giving its users a quality backlink for their inclusion price. Featuring over 300 detailed categories with many deeplink opportunities this relatively newly established directory is a jewel for webmasters to saviour if they decide to submit their sites. Their Business and Directories categories are arguably two of the most popular categories within the directory but still offer huge backlink potential for submissions. This directories future has been founded and it will continue to offer webmasters great value.

A web hosting service is a type of internet hosting service that allows individuals and organizations to provide their own websites accessible via the WorldWideWeb. Webhosting companies provide space on a server they own for use by their clients as well as providing Internet connectivity ususally in a data center. Webhosts can also provide data center space and connectivity to the Internet for servers they do not own to be located in their data center called colocation.
Hosting services are of different types. In shared web hosting service, your site is placed on the same server as many other sites, ranging from a few to hundreds or thousands. All sites may share a common pool of server resources, such as RAM and the CPU. Reseller web hosting allows clients to become web hosts themselves and sell hosting space to their clients. In dedicated hosting service, the user gets his or her own web server and gains full control over it - root access for Linux and administrator access for Windowsbut the user does not own the server.
