Bid Directory Benefits

Many webmasters do not fully understand the benefits that bid directories provide, and they simply do not understand the answer to that ominous question; "Why should I pay for my link, when there are so many free directories available?" I will explain the benefits.

1. Less links! A bid directory will typically have less links than a free directory per page. A free directory will sometimes have a hundred links per page, while a bid directory will usually have between five or ten.

2. SEO Friendly URLs! It is true that most free directories claim to be seo friendly, but how friendly can they really be with link mania on their category pages. See benefit number one. Bid directories are search engine friendly, and most links have their very own page created within the database. Google and other search engines pick up these pages.

3. Human edited and spam free! Not all bid directory owners put this into practice, but most do! With less links in the directory...spam and garbage are cleaned out with little effort.

4. Deep Links! Bid directories usually provide an option to include up to 5 deep links. Most other directories do not!

5. Bid directory owners usually use the money coming in to promote the directory itself! It just makes sense to promote the directory, because a higher pagerank will mean you can get more money per link. It's a win; win situation! This is a good reason to get in early while the links are cheap.

6. Position! With tracking software allowing you to view where your website traffic is coming from, it is nice to be able to increase your bid on say a directory that is bringing you some traffic. In other words... you have more control as to where your listing will be placed. If you want more exposure you decide when and if it happens.

7. Have you ever noticed "Link Stats" on some bid directories? This is a benefit you will not usually see anywhere else. This gives your customers a chance to see that you have been working hard to achieve your status. Once you have placed your link you can also use the link details area to submit your link to other well known sites such as Digg, Stumble Upon, Del.icio.us, and many more.

8. Permanent links! Free directories do have featured links, but most last three months to a year and then you get lost in the piles of links. With a bid directory you decide how featured it is,and it will still be permanent either way, forever!
