Craft Directories?

#1

I've got a friend working on submitting to craft related directories.
Anyone got any lists? He's found 31 so far - which sounds a tiny
number

Hi Mogga

If your friend has their pages cached and PR, then they could have
their link added to either of these pages :
http://www.houstoncrafts.com/links/n...aft-sites.html
http://www.houstoncrafts.com/links/n...es-page-2.html
http://www.houstoncrafts.com/links/n...es-page-3.html

Depending which DC you check, they do have PR. [PR3 i think]

He's gotta be creative...
do searches for words like
/directory/Arts/Crafts/

Most of those were not related link farms. Won't do a person any good.

Is his site about crafts, or is the site of a crafter? I know many good
directories for promoting the sites of indie crafters (but not so much about
crafts). Let me know & I can forward the list..

best,

But the tip in itself is not bad.

What does that mean "not related farms"? A craft is a craft!

No a craft is not a craft!!! I take it that the OP was looking for crafting
directories like crocheting and such!!

A search engine spider sees the word "craft" whether it's a art craft or
a flying saucer craft, the search engine doesn't know the difference.

Who gives a shit about what a spider sees as you are putting it. A spider
sees a lot like http://www.bizseo.com/Directory/Arts/Crafts/ nothing really
but a link farm made buy someone in India. It is a directory of more than
just crafts.

Actually it can make out a difference when it comes to space craft, air
craft, and crafting just by reading the rest of the pages.

Quote:

You do a search on "craft" and Google gives you a restaurant named craft!
http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q...=Google+Search

A person who does a crafting site like I do would want to be on a related
craft site and not a restaurant site named Craft. Big difference with all
the words associated with the web pages.

<snip> the long Unrelated unneeded crap from the posting!

Quote:

You guys need to think like a search engine, not like a human being.

You need help if you are going to add a site to all those stupid unrelated
get your site banned sites if you recip with them. Some of them are OK but
the most are bad!

"Hint" dude you need related sites with related key words throughout the
site to make your site become more relevant in the rankings for those
certain search phrases. Got it? Shoot you need to think like an SEO human
being.:-)

True searching that way which I am sure the person did.:-) Actually around
31 sounds about right for a quality crafting directories. The last time I
did a check was a few years ago and it was a lot less. I had plans on making
one very large one, with doing other things like design, SEO for crafters.
Never got that far. Got 2 domains though(still have them). At that time I
think there were about maybe 5 to 10 good ones. It has risen some.

I have one now but it isn't like the one that I wanted above. Just a
crafting and event directory. http://ecraftsonline.net/ I haven't had time
to get links to it but will. :-) I will not add any site that has nothing to
really do with crafting.:-) I also have a home decor outlet directory which
I add sites on to help with design tips and stuff.
