If search engine rankings are important to you (and they should be), then acquiring backlinks to your site from other sites should be a very intricate part of your strategy.

SEO 101: Directories are a great way to get some backlinks very quickly. You have to be careful, as most directories are absolute crap, but one directory that’s quite good is having a 2-day sale offering permanent backlinks for just $2.

So, if you want to get a nice backlink to your site and (most likely) help your rankings, this is a no-brainer. Go to Skaffe.com right now and drop a couple bucks.

If that gets you in the mood, here are a few other exceptional directories to help enhance your link popularity – and not empty your wallet:

    Google does not like directories despite ranking them with the (soon to be gone) PageRank. Purchasing what you’re calling a “back link” will do nothing for your PR if the link comes from a directory full of other links and the content surounding the link isn’t relevant to the link’s destination. It’s not as much of a popularity contest now as it used to be… it’s heading towards pure relevance.

    I disagree. Google doesn’t like CRAPPY directories. If they didn’t like directories, as you proclaim, they wouldn’t have one of their own (http://www.google.com/dirhp).

    PageRank’s not going anywhere if they’re smart. It’s an intricate part of Google’s brand.

    OK: I just spent 20 minutes trying to figure out how to give these guys my two bucks, and I’m stumped. How in the hell do I submit my site to Skaffe? What am I missing?

    Click on the appropriate category for your site and click Suggest a Site (green navigation tab).
