Explain this Directory

The Weight Loss Directory is a place where you can list your site.  Of course, your site must be a weight loss resource, or be useful to those losing weight.

What makes this
directory so useful

Highly Trafficked

Weight Loss International is one of the foremost industry leaders in the area of health and weight loss, and has many hundreds of thousands of unique visitors every month.  These users could be just one click away from your site.

Pre-qualified Users

Our users are interested in only one thing - good quality weight loss and health information.  Therefore, you already know exactly what the users of this directory need.

Searchable Resource

Our users don't need to wade through dozens of other people's links just to get to yours.  The sites listed in our directory are completely searchable.  This includes your sites title, description, and url.

Google Pagerank

How high up you appear in Google depends largely on the pagerank you receive.  In order to have a high pagerank, you will need prominent sites such as Weight Loss International linking to your site.  We have an incredibly high Google pagerank, and are happy to share it with you to help you out.  However, you must be relevant to our users.  The higher up in our directory you are, the higher the Google pagerank you'll be given.

Who decides the order
the sites are listed in?

You do!

The Weight Loss Directory has in place a totally unique algorithm that determines the order in which our sites are listed.  The algorithm gives priority to those sites which are most similar to Weight Loss International, and most useful to our users.  It makes sense that our uses want to see your site high up in the list if it's useful to them.

The way it works is like this.  We track the searchers our users perform, and the sites which they click through to.  We also record the amount of traffic we receive from your site.  All these figures are calculated together to determine how relevant your site is considered to our users.

So how do you get your site onto our first page?  Simple.  The secret is traffic.  Place a link to Weight Loss International prominently on your site.  If we receive a significant traffic flow from your site, we'll assume your users are interested in the sorts of things our site has to offer.  This moves your site up the list.  As your site moves higher up in our directory, it's more likely be clicked on.  Once again, we determine that your site must be more relevant to our users, so it has a doubling effect.

  • Place a highly visible link on your site to Weight Loss International

  • Large amounts of traffic flowing in both directions indicates to our algorithm that your site must be highly relevant

The algorithm is completely automated, and statistically based.  Our editors play no part in determining the order in which sites are listed in our directory.

In effect, you're completely in control of how high up in our directory your site is listed.  Now that you won't find anywhere else!

Site Administration

The Weight Loss Directory is fully automated.  You can update the directory stats, or your site details in the sections below.

Where do I link to?

In order to have any respectable position at all in The Weight Loss Directory, you'll need to provide a link prominently on your site.

Remember, the more prominent the link is on your site, the higher up you're likely to appear in our directory.

Title:  Weight Loss International - Diet Center
URL:  http://weightlossinternational.com
Description:
Free diet center. Essential health and weight loss diet information that teaches you the truth about fast weight loss programs that promise quick weight loss. Why have all your past diets failed?

Do you need the actual HTML code?

Why is my site listed
without a link?

This means your site has "lapsed".  The traffic flows from and to your site seemed to have stopped, and so the listing of your site has been placed into "stasis".

This probably means that the link on your site to Weight Loss International no longer exists, or is too obscure.  Try making the link more prominent.  That's the best way to get listed higher in our directory.

You can activate your link again in our directory simply by clicking on the link on your site to Weight Loss International.

Why is my site buried
several pages down

So, you're listed in The Weight Loss Directory but you're not on page 1 as you expected?

Remember, YOU have the power to determine how high up in the directory you're listed.  Make your link to Weight Loss International more prominent, larger, or towards the top of the page.  That way, our relevancy algorithm will view your site as more relevant, and you'll steadily move up in the directory.

Now, any changes you make will take time to be reflected.  So if you're new to the directory, or you've just changed the link back on your site, check back in a couple of weeks to see how well all of your good work has paid off.
