Directories that Pass PR or Page RankGoogle Penalties for Selling Links. In late 2007 Google penalized all directories that were selling links for the purpose of gaining PR (Page Rank) by dropping those directory's PR and causing them to not even rank for their own name until they made some changes on their websites. Thus everyone that had submitted to those directories found their PR drop also. Then most websites on the internet also dropped in PR by at least 1 point because Google dropped PR across the board.Directories No Longer Pass PR. Since then there are very few directories with PR on their link pages unless they are also using rel="nofollow" on the links (which Google recommends but which also means that page will not pass PR even if it does get some PR in the future). So finding directories with PR on their linking pages is a moot point now-a-days. Link Trades Devalued. Google has also penalized sites for getting involved in traingular linking and other link schemes and has devalued link trades in general. Blog and forum links don't count for much either. What does that leave us? Google recommends that you provide pages of interest to your visitors that they will want to link to without being asked and that is about the only safe method of gaining links with PR anymore. Directory Submissions. If you still want to submit to good directories try the following directory list. I have personally checked all these directories and they all appear to be clean directories that don't have 302 redirects on the links (or they are search engine friendly redirects) and they don't have the links in frames although I can't guarantee this won't happen in the future. They also don't have other means to prevent the link from being indexed as far as I can tell. The PR has been left off the chart below because of so few directories having any PR now. I have also left off directories that require a link trade although that option is usually available for the following free directories. Don't submit to directories that say they are "search engine friendly" because (according to Google) this implies they are providing links to gain PR and they will likely be penalized for it. Also don't submit to directories that accept submissions from gammmmbling, Poorrrnoo, Pharrrrmaseutical (misspelled on purpose) and other bad neighborhood sites. I have not set up direct links to the following directories in case they get penalized in the future (which would reverberate to this page).
