Why Permanent Links?
Our home page explains why one-way inbound links are the real key to improving your search engine rankings. But what are "permanent" links? A majority of link building services offer links that may be there today and gone tomorrow, which could make your ranking in the search engines unsteady and unpredictable. Our permanent links, on the other hand, offer natural and steady growth and not just a sudden surge of new links and then years of stagnant growth.
Permanent and ethical links offer a better long-term solution for your internet marketing efforts. We offer links within guaranteed directories whose listings have proven to show up as valid back links within Google, Yahoo and/or MSN.
Why Permanent Links?
First things first. Please do not confuse our directory submission service with popular email spam offers of "submitting your website to 500,000 search engines for only $29.00." It has been our experience that these "submitting only" services do nothing to increase your back links and in fact may hurt your rankings. Why? Because they are using an automated process which submits your website to tiny FFA sites (Free For All directories). A majority, if not all, of these websites are completely useless and have a poor reputation with Google and other leading search engines. Many of these websites are designed strictly to capture email addresses for spamming purposes. We purposely tested one of these companies recently on a test website we own. After 120 days, NOT ONE SINGLE back link appeared with Google, Yahoo or MSN after supposedly submitting our site to hundreds of thousands of search engines and directories.
On the other hand, being listed within quality directories (which use real humans that monitor the approval process of your listings and are very picky of what websites are accepted) can generate an excellent source of real valid back links. These directories typically offer a wide selection of categories so that your link will often appear on a page that is relevant (i.e. full of industry related information and listings)
We have tested our "quality" directory submission service on a number of websites with excellent results in generating back links, increased click through traffic and improved search engine results within Google, Yahoo and MSN.
What does Google say?
"Submit your site to relevant directories such as the Open Directory Project and Yahoo!, as well as to other industry-specific expert sites."
Reference
"In general, webmasters can improve the rank of their sites by increasing the number of high-quality sites that link to their pages."

For years, we have been testing literally thousands of directories looking for quality measured by their PageRank, Alexa value, use of human editors, being picky on their approval process and most of all a reputation of their listings showing up as real back links within Google, Yahoo and/or MSN. After years of weeding out the junk (which most directories are), our list of approved quality directories is now up to slightly over 200 and growing.
