DirectoriesA discusson about directories and not sites with directories included within them. Directories include sites like DMOZ, Yahoo Directory, etc.
May as there are lots of directories in Queue for approval and also are free to place a back-link.One thing is their whether results come late but beneficial in long term to maintain ranking in SERp's.
first of all directories have to check our site to check that we are not providing any wrong information and everything is legal and some times their are submitions in the queue, these are some reasons for delay in approvals.
After directory submission directory check your website is still available and have correct information and match category that you post, so its approval delay.
Good directories have moderators. some times moderator manual check your website whether your submitted site is meeting with their privacy policy or not. You have submitted in proper category and such things and they can have number of sites such like you so in such cases some directories take time for approval
Directory submissions give very late approval because lots of links are in queue and it gives prefer first to the paid links then after free submissions......
There are a lot of links submitted everyday so the directories' owners can not make fast approval. They will need to check the links and their contents.
You get late approval of the directory submissions because many links are in line and it gives first preference to the paid links and then to the free submissions.
there are plenty of submissions per day happening in directories so their staff are busy every time and they that's why are late to accept submissions.
If directory moderation have high quality , then it's mean that Directory have a good quality and popularity .
So all directories want to approve only good websites , that why directory have publish late .
