Free, Genuine Editorial Links at GetTheRating.com

GetTheRating.com is a free SEO Friendly Online Directory, which among other things means that once you are listed with us you may qualify for a free editorial link. A link is a link, the saying goes. However, links on the Web are much like coins: they vary in value, ranging from zero to a great deal. Today, the most powerful links on the Web are those that are trusted by search engines. They tend to appear on high quality Web pages thematically related to the target site. The most trusted links come from respectable, humanly edited sources and are editorially selected, approved or otherwise vetted and confirmed.

Our editorial links are awarded based on the overall quality of the listing and its compliance with our Quality Guidelines. In other words, our links are not automatic freebees that are equally available to all. Although anyone can add a link to their profile, all profiles and all links are reviewed individually by our editorial team. In point of fact, we reserve (and exercise!) the right to remove at will any listing and/or link at any time if we find that it violates or fails to live up to our listing standards. It is this editorial discretion that gives our "dofollow" directory links their special power and value, far above those that most free Web directories can boast of.

Many Web directories offer free links. So what’s the big deal? Actually, those links typically provide very little SEO value. Google, Bing and similar search engines have been aware for a long time that most free-for-all Web directories are overrun by spammers. They accept everyone automatically, including websites that represent "bad link neighborhoods" -- questionable, spammy and smutty sites with the likes of which you don't want to be associated. For that reason, GetTheRating.com's editorial evaluation process weeds out and purges links to bad Internet neighborhoods from our entourage. The company we keep is clean and of a high quality.
