You can check out your directories strength using the new DR Strength rating system at Directory Rate.

If you have already submitted your directory, you'll be able to check out your directory's strength right away, if you haven't submitted your directory yet, just visit the site and add it (its free).

Once your directory is approved and listed you'll be able to see its DR Strength next to your listing.

Go to www.directoryrate.com to take a look.

Thanks

How exactly do you work out DR? E.g. the exact number rating like 8.9 etc.?

Probably an SEO score, maybe mixed in with a title and description relevancy score.

Hi Guys,

Lots of factors and metrics make up the score, sadly I cant disclose them publicly, but a quality well maintained directory with plenty of back links and useful content will get a good DR score.

Still looking for more directories to add to our lists, add yours for free at <link removed>

Thanks

If you can't share anything about how you're ranking the strength of directories it makes it hard to trust your numbers. In fact it makes them worthless.

Just a hunch without even looking. Does your directory rank very well?

What really makes this idea worthless is a site that doesn't load. waynerwayner, you've got hosting issues. Besta get yo' server fix on.

So a directory that went through all of the link exchange BS and got 500 inbound links as a result would outrank a directory that didn't and got 3 organic IBLs?

If that's what you're selling, it ain't gonna be bought up in dis piece.

Ok, I tried to access your site 4 times & got the same message:
Quote:
Server not found

Firefox can't find the server at www.directoryrate.com


* Check the address for typing errors such as
ww.example.com instead of
www.example.com

* If you are unable to load any pages, check your computer's network
connection.

* If your computer or network is protected by a firewall or proxy, make sure
that Firefox is permitted to access the Web.
in case you need to double check it with your hosting company, This error accrued at: 8:50pm CST (2050cst) On 09/12/2007 (Wen.)....

I was hopping to find out more about this DR (Play off PR) type rating system you have going on. O'well, let me know when its back up & running.

They ask you to put reciprocal link (they call it “Rate Us” link) and to ask
your site visitors to Rate (to Vote) for your Directory using that reciprocal
link (sneaky busters).
Based on amount of Votes you received, they will Rate your site.

For me this is one perfect way for your competition to kill your site reputation.

To bad I learned about their scam after I submitted our Directory.

The good news is you learned. Just remove any link pointing to their directory and you'll have nothing to worry about.

Your FAQ says:
Quote:
“unfortunately we cannot give you precise details on the algorithm used”
but I wonder if you yourself have any idea about Directory qualities in a first place or you would provide us with benchmark showing how and why you rate some directory higher than another.

“We cannot give you precise details”. Why not? Maybe because:
- You don’t have any
- It will make us laugh
- LOL, you were punked

What makes you an expert in the first place?

If any of you had any doubt about waynerwayner’s “Expert” knowledge then
this is the time for you to find for yourselves the man has no idea what makes directory FREE.

You can visit his site and see what I mean or you can take a look at the snapshot
