Best Of The Web Directory Links For SEO

Comments Off on Best Of The Web Directory Links For SEO
August 20  |  Link Building, Link Building Tools  |   Ryan Clark

This is the first post in the section for Paid Links, which is just as it sounds…everything related to buying quality text links from very reputable review services such as Best Of The Web. This is perhaps one of the most well known, and oldest directories on the web today. It has been running since 1994 when an University student named Brandon Plewe created the platform to enable he burgeoning online community to nominate and vote for best-of-class websites in a variety of categories. The site blossomed into a web directory of unique and content rich websites that served the online community.

This is one of the few web directories that I recommend to clients when we’re doing a campaign in a tough niche. Getting into the BOTW Directory requires that your site be up to standards, and dish out unique content, or a original service. If your website makes it then you’ve managed to attain a link that is worth its weight in gold.


Best of the Web is committed to maintaining the high standard of listings that has proven key to its success while continuing to grow. To rank among the Best of the Web, a site must adhere to the strict criteria of editors who ensure that it contains substantive unique content, navigates in a user-friendly manner, contains no broken links or pictures, is up and running 24/7, and conforms to universally accepted web standards. In this way, quality sites are added to the directory on a daily basis and listed in relevant categories that run the gamut of the alphabet from the arts to zoology.

The great thing about paying for a review to be in the site, is that you not only get the link juice, but targeted traffic that comes from the directory. You can get your listing within 3 business days, and once approved you get acess to a control panel with all your stats and payment history. Pricing is set at $99.95 annually recurring review fee, and $249.95 one-time review fee.

August 20  |  Social Bookmarking  |   Ryan Clark

I’m not going to say much about UAN.me because it’s a brand new site and just another social bookmarking utility that doesn’t pass any link juice. The only reason I can think of why I’m writing about this website is because it is the first .me bookmarking clone. The Site is run on Pligg as you can most likely tell very quickly and isn’t getting very much traffic at the moment. Check UAN.me Out.

Blog Branding Through Arkayne

Comments Off on Blog Branding Through Arkayne
August 19  |  Social Networks  |   Ryan Clark

One of my clients refered me to Arkayne which is a Widget that finds and connects relevant content between your blog and what your readers want to see. I’m going to be giving it a try on here for a week and see if it makes a difference. Since this blog is relatively new, I should be able to easily see how effective this strategy is. The WordPress plugin for the Arkayne widget includes a complete control panel for every widget option. From the panel you can adjust everything from text, color, size, to link counts, similarity limits, and link categories. Download The Plugin.
