1) Paid directories: Spammers prefer quantity over quality. Payment often serves as an effective barrier to entry. This means that a spammer will try to put links on 1000 ineffective directories and avoid paying for the high-quality directories. Almost all paid directories have staff that reviews submissions. Search engines like sites reviewed by humans and give them more trust. Most expensive directories are dir.Yahoo.com and business.com.

Here is a list of secondary directories that it’s worth submitting to:

• WoW Directory
• BOTW
• Gimpsy
• JoeAnt
• GoGuides
• Jayde
• STPT

You should review them manually, because unfortunately some of them change for the worst. At the time of this writing they are still good. Also Check your local directories (especially effective for local brick-and-mortar businesses)

This is what you should check: Do they accept all listings automatically once you pay them? If so it’s not a good sign because spammers may buy links also. How many backlinks does the directory have? How often does it get crawled by Google (check info.directorydomain.com to see last cached date)? What is their Alexa rankings (how much traffic do they get)?

You can exchange links with directories, but only if they’re vertical directories relevant to your industry. A good approach is to create a directory yourself and populate it with listings. Use it to link to directories which require a link back in exchange for a free listing. Never link back to low quality directories.

Carefully examine the “directory submission services”, often times they own all the directories to which they’re submitting. This will create low quality backlinks for often astronomical prices.

2) Donations: Many non-profit organizations have a listing of people who made a donation. You can often make a small donation and get a link back to your site. In fact, search engines even weigh offpage optimization higher than onpage optimization.

However, finding backlinks is hard. You may secure a backlink but that does not mean you have the freedom to choose your anchor text. For example, you can get a backlink through commenting. But using your keyword as the name will only get your comment deleted. It is better to use your name or nickname. This is also the case for social networks. Sometimes, links are posted as is. From here, you will not receive keyword juice from it.

Luckily, Angela has found some websites where people can have free links. She releases them as packets and you only have to pay a small monthly fee per month. A lot of people have claimed how much their site has increased in rankings because of these so-called link packets. This is Angela’s Backlinks.

These backlinks are now very popular in webmaster forums. Not only are people increasing their rankings, but they have also increased in sales. So if you are still thinking of how you can conduct offpage optimization on your website, then go for no other than Angela’s backlinks.

You do have to be really careful when using a service like this though. You can’t create your links the same way everyone else does. Ideally we all need to create backlinks to our websites. A backlink or back-links are incoming links to a website or webpage.
