I think your implication is that quality in reasonable qunatity wins over quantity with little thought to quality. I'd agree. We're getting great results on niche forums, niche directories and in specific seo exchange of relevant information. Good advice.

Some directories that use this still show up in google webmaster tools external links? Is it worth listing if directories use this? http://www.mobilephone02.com Great article, your thoughts on the rel=”nofollow” tag in directories would have been interesting.

Also, adding some rel"nofollow external links to a site the pagerank went from 3/10 to 6/10 in one week.

Make sure you REALLY vary your description text and anchor text. Search for your description in " " if it's the same anywhere on the web it's no good! Don't just copy your description from your site write something totally new and quality over quantity can't be stressed enough.

I even prefer to look for verticals that are geared towards a given market. Data Entry Services - strange name.. he he... I am not a huge fan of comments as a link source... @Mark - well, to be honest if one was targeting low end directories then maybe avoid the NF'd links. But generally it won't slow me down a lot... A. One may just get some minor traffic B. Some engines still aren't strict on the NF tags so even from that angle it makes sense. Also, nofollow doesn't seem to mean 'not to follow' but more 'not to valuate'... all in all I wouldn't slow me totally. Likely a situational thing depending on the directory. @Peter – thanks!
