Do you use the method of submitting blogs or websites to the free Internet directories? What is your opinion about this method? Are there any tools for such submitting?

Most of these directories have little to no human visitors so don't expect much traffic from them. From a SEO point of view, it seems that the search engines like Google are not really putting much importance to these type of directories.

Thank you very much for your opinion! But I'm sure if we use all the time the well-known methods of business we shall be in a good company but with bad incomes.

Some of the directories will help but it's not easy to figure out which ones. Even if you find a good PR directory, the inside page where your link will go is often a 0 PR so no help in your linking strategy. I know they mostly give small effect but if you submit by hand to a few directories here and there as you have time, it all adds up eventually.

Well actually most people do submit their sites to all these worthless directories so my "method" is not well known. Sorry that you have misunderstood my point.

I don't have a link to the story. I saw it on our news and read the article in our paper today.
A woman was pregnant with triplets. For some reason (they didn't disclose for privacy purposes), one of them was born (not even by c-section but natural way) at 25 weeks and the doctors were successful in stopping the other two from coming out.
So now the woman is taking care of the preemie and is still pregnant with twins. In this case, are they still called triplets?
Anyone heard a familiar case? Supposedly, this is becoming more common especially for pregnancies due to fertility treatments/methods.
