Being careful when submitting to directories. Directories as we know can be used to increase link popularity and get your site indexed . But directory submmission can also hurt . Here are a few things to remember when submitting to directories. 1. The number of directories you are submitting to . If it is Over 50 , then it may create suspicion that you are using some sort of software to boost your link popularity . "Sites with high PR" are on a regular visit by search engines than "others". Their text , links etc. are all taken into account faster. The higher the PR , the more it is noted. Submission to many at the same time triggers this . Even if you submitted to 100 and only 20 approved and displayed your link in one day , 20 the second day and 20 again on third day , 60 links in three days could trigger this . Plus the second day you will submit to another 100 . Calculate it. I personally seek and prefer submitting to new directories because they are "gradually" indexed and your link is not crowded between another 40 links. Today or tomorrow the page will pick a PR. 2. The text displayed in link . Even if you are getting 20 links everyday let's say naturally , then it is sure that people are using different text in their links. When submitting to directories , have a set of titles like "html editor" , "SSS12 html editor", "html editor with features", "Feature rich html editor", etc. Each is different but each has your keywords. This reduces chances of penalty. On a side note that is a very tough keyword and I am not in SERP's for that. 3. Submit to only directories which you think do not use BH tech. If you hire a firm to manage directory submission for you , then most have a list of quality directories . Softwares are only collection of any found . May be when a directory was added to a software , it was good but you don't know what happenned later .Couldn't say if it linked to a bad site and dropped it's PR or got penalised. Fine if penalised because now you know it is linking to a bad neighbour but if it dropped PR , you will still think that this a good directory. You don't know it was better but now suffers a penalty. You will only see a PR. ( Google PR : A reflection of a good site ). Good Directory submmission firms I think would know that because they are on a regular visit to directories and would note the drop in PR. No problem submitting to a directory like this but what if you are asked to have a reciprocal link ??? And most old directories ask for that. New ones don't because they want to have a database first. New sites of people who know a little seo will pick PR anyway and the link is one way! 4. Are you asked to place a reciprocal link ? Should I explain it ? Best wishes for your site.
