Is there any per day limit for Directory submission, If its then how much ?

_Eternal dilemma of an SEO professional. Since you are there to build links, you have to think about building links and this is exactly where the problem creeps in. Rather take a different approach here. Think like a general user. Would you love to see your website listed in that directory? Do you believe that that the directory in question would be able to drive some traffic to your website? If the answer is yes, go ahead mate. Get your website listed there. Google or no Google, your website is going to get benefited at the end. _

When I said " good directories " I meant http://www.seomoz.org/directories/ Do you think these directories will cause Penguin signal to be triggered ? As of my 2nd advice, do it on the right pace. Few factors need to be determine how much to do per x time. Obviously I will agree that directories submission you can find on commercial seo tools will trigger Penguins signals and one should avoid them. Are we good?
-
Do you have an explict answer to those questions that will avoid a Penguin problem?

Guys, why to be negative? Today is December 25th
Mr. Singh didn't say what "Directory submission" he meant. There are very good directories that we have to use, anybody disagree?
Regards the other part of "day limit" for Directory submission, the pace is all based on two factors:
- how many links and their quality you have now?
- can you keep the same pace overtime month in, month out?
-
I more or less agree with EGOL. Directory Submissions are a thing of the past and are likely to get you in trouble nowadays. Getting backlinks is becoming harder and harder everyday. You need to diversify more and make sure that all those links to you look as natural as possible. It's not a bad thing to do linking yourself to get that initial push but the best possible linking strategy is a naturally occurring one. Make sure you use all relevant social avenues open to you... Facebook pages, G+, LinkedIn, Pinterest, Instagram, StumbleUpon, and so on as long as it make sense for your site to be there and you keep up with posting. Hopefully those will generate natural links back to your site as people learn who you are and grow to like your site.

Thank you sir for valuable suggestion, So what link building strategies shall i apply to get rank my keywords in Google 1st page.
-
I think that they can be harmful to your site - especially if you use keyword anchor text.
If these are the only types of links that you have, I think that your site will be hit by Penguin.
-
I dint get you sir.
-
If you do one or two per day... it will be enough to get you in trouble by the end of next year.

Escort directory page indexing issues

Will a Robots.txt 'disallow' of a directory, keep Google from seeing 301 redirects for pages/files within the directory?
Hi- I have a client that had thousands of dynamic php pages indexed by Google that shouldn't have been. He has since blocked these php pages via robots.txt disallow. Unfortunately, many of those php pages were linked to by high quality sites mulitiple times (instead of the static urls) before he put up the php 'disallow'. If we create 301 redirects for some of these php URLs that area still showing high value backlinks and send them to the correct static URLs, will Google even see these 301 redirects and pass link value to the proper static URLs? Or will the robots.txt keep Google away and we lose all these high quality backlinks? I guess the same question applies if we use the canonical tag instead of the 301. Will the robots.txt keep Google from seeing the canonical tags on the php pages? Thanks very much, V

Traffic drop 98% in two days
I changed my theme on April 12th and within 24 hours my traffic plummeted 98%. I have also seen a huge difference in my keyword ranking. A few things have been tweaked, but with no results. I need to get to the bottom of this fairly quickly. Do you have any recommendations of a trustworthy someone I could hire to dig deeper and find out what the %#^!$@ is going on? I didn't see that SEOmoz does the "hire and let us check it" thing. Of course, if anyone has any free suggestions...I'm open to those as well. 🙂 Thanks Heather

Htaccess redirects how many can i have and does it slow site down
I have had to redesign my site this year www.in2town.co.uk because my hosting company made a huge mistake while trying to update the joomla on my site which resulted in me losing thousands of pages and links. What i would like to know is, i have put some of the old urls in my htaccess file but i would like to know how many old urls i can have in my htaccess file as i am unsure how to use it properly. my idea was, to have some of the lost url links to my site and put them in my htaccess file and have them pointing to similar pages. not sure if this is a good idea or not. i think i have lost a few hundred good links but i would like to know if these urls in the htaccess file would slow down my joomla site any advice would be great.
