SEO, anyone?

Well, you guys all know me by now - I’m always looking for a new project or new ways to make a little money. I decided to invest some time in creating a free web directory for everyone to submit their sites to. In turn, I’ll be updating a load of sitemaps to Google to help get pageranks of all the users up. Most of the directories I’ve found all want reciprocal links this, or pay me extra for that… I longed for the day I could go to a site, add my link and a bit of blurb about the site, then be on my merry way (hoping that my pagerank would increase).
Well, I launched it today and have been advertising hard through various forums, other directories and sites so hopefully, this will have a positive impact on the pagerank (currently zero) quite quickly. Within the space of about an hour and a half, I was inundated with about 80 site submissions! What do I get out of this? Well, partly I wanted to do something for the Frihost users (help them improve their site rankings), but I also wanted to do a little something for me: distract me from all the work I should be doing!!! Don’t fret though - I added a few advertising boxes to hopefully gain a little extra pocket money… although it is looking very much like a “little”
So get yourselves to the directory and start submitting some links:

Good job.
However, Page Rank improves if your page is linked to from a site with a high Page Rank.
However, directories are quite helpful, so I’m guessing that your directory ought to get a good enough PR, which should then be able to improve the PR of your “clients”

Yup - a zero pagerank directory isn’t a lot of use to anyone. That’s why I’ve spent (literally) hours submitting it to other directories, advertising it on SEO forums, and establishing links wherever I can. At Google’s next PR update, I would be very surprised if the directory remains at PR 0 or 1.
But time will tell

While I haven’t had a huge burst in visitors from the directory itself, I do love the idea of it, and am glad that I really don’t have to review the site constantly to ensure that my link is there.
I would link back, but unless you’ve got a nifty little button, I can’t find a spot for it in the rest of my blog space. If you do, hit me back so that I can add it.
