Adthello SEO Web Directory, One Year Of Success
Adthello, May. 31, 2008 (www.adthello.com) --

It was one year ago that the people behind Adthello.com decided that they would launch a new SEO Web directory. It was a move that many SEO professionals said would never work, they said Internet directories were dying. Now, one year later, Adthello.com has proven that not only is the directory industry alive and kicking, but new players to the game can have incredible success if done right.

“When we started the Adthello project, people were saying that Web directories wouldn't be around much longer,” said spokesman Pascal Smeets. “It was thought that search engines, especially Google, were penalizing directories. They couldn't have been more wrong. Over the past year we've watched Adthello.com go from a meager Page-Rank of zero, to a strong PR5. The sites in our directory not only receive quality traffic, but their status in Google search improves as well.”

And helping sites to improve their search rankings is just what Adthello has done. Unlike other Web directories, who claim to be SEO friendly, Adthello passes PR “juice” through their links. Other sites use what's called a “nofollow” tag, meaning links back to their customers sites may look nice, but there's no “juice” being passed on.

“Nofollow tags render a link worthless in the eyes of Google,” says Smeets. “That's what makes Adthello a true SEO friendly Web directory. When we link to our customer's sites, we pass some of our PR5 ranking on to them. We're basically saying to Google that we believe that link points to a quality site. When directories use the nofollow tag, they're telling Google that they linked to the site, but they don't believe it's of any quality.”
