“Another milestone for AddURL-Free.com and Jim Westergren ”
This time it’s another feather in the cap for the free web directory “AddURL-free.com“, owned and managed by Jim.
The timing is perfect, with free web directories being run down by probably every online web marketeer, AddURL-Free.com stands out and leads the revolution that confirms a Free Web Directory Listing to be a good source for adding SERP value to ones site.
Add-URLFree.com has surpassed the magic figure of 50000 active weblinks, reviewed manually over a period of 20 months.
That would practically mean 150 approved submission per day, with many more rejected during review.
With 50000 active links, AddURL-Free is technically the largest PHPld (the most popular directory script) powered directory across webspace.
The milestone was hard achieved with the directory launched way back in July 2005, at the time when the concept of free web directories was very new and not accepted to the webmaster community.
The other milestone previously achieved by the directory was winning the competion held by Info Vilesilencer Directory Owners Forum for finding the Best Alexa Ranked Free Web Directory
AddURL-Free won the contest by achieveing an Alexa Score of 22,074 as on 25th August 2006.
Doing a check on the directory, some features are worth mentioning. AddURL-Free runs on PHPld as backend with lot of customs made mods with plan to add the function of category editors in the very near future.
The detail page for each listing is very unique from other directories as one can view the complete weblink data, like the backlink count from various search engines, added features of Backlink Analyzer, Page Strength Calculation, details stored in Archive.org, Alexa and more. The feature that amused me the most was the keyword ranking check, where one could see the SERPs for the weblinks as per the title text used during submission in the directory.
Now for the extra cream
One just has to love the edit pages feature (http://www.addurl-free.com/edit39449.html), this is one of a kind in any directory, wherein, you have COMPLETE CONTROL over your submission. One can edit all the details previously submitted with a highlight being editing feature for the Anchor Text.
With these features in place, we believe in what AddURL-Free.com stands for
A high PR SEO friendly directory with the objective to become the most beneficial directory for webmasters from a SEO perspective on the internet.
Submit you link today and add more SERP value to your sites. Its worth being listed.
Some Recommendation :
1. AddURL-Free could do better with a more unique template in use.
2. Some categories need further categorization to reduce cutter; example : The Regional category could be further drilled down to the respective countries for more value add to both the submitter (seeking higher SERPs and Traffic) and the browser (looking for information).
