The Website Directory Experiment

First I‘d like to say that this has nothing to do with the Sub-Directory Experiment that I‘m currently running, because this is only for directory type of websites. I‘ve noticed that nowadays only directory-directory websites are dying and the chances to get some actual visitors are quite low (we don‘t count the huge number of submitters who don‘t do anything else than submitting more and more listings) we are talking about actual people that visit those directories and use them. Isn‘t that the basic idea behind directories to be used as guides for Internet visitors?

Basically my SEO Experiment on Website Directories is made of two parts. The first part is to check how much PageRank will one directory get if I submit it in 1000 directories. I suppose that if I‘m lucky enough I‘ll get around 40%-50% acceptance rates and with about 400-500 backlinks I should be able to get pr 4 on that particular directory.

On the second directory I will do only blog posts, somewhere around 100-200, and I should get some good backlinks. I‘m assuming that those blog posts will be enough to boost me up to pr 4 and maybe even more (I‘m not sure about that but that‘s why it‘s experiment)....

On a third directory, I will post only one PR5 link to see what‘s going to happen. I‘m expecting at least pr4 on that directory with a single pr5 link.

The whole experiment is to show how fast with low amount of money you can increase the pagerank to pr4 or pr5. Also the other really interesting thing is to calculate the frequency of search engine bots visiting those websites after 3 months. I‘m assuming that PR is not that important as backlink counts and I already have some ideas of what‘s going to happen, but lets see and prove it.
