I got curious if I could pre-score directories before submitting. I hacked a dumb pipeline: Fetch domain metrics (DA/DR-ish), outbound link ratio, indexation status Simple model to classify “likely worthwhile” vs “meh” (trained on past referrer data) Manually review top picks, then batch submit (human in the loop ftw) Takeaway: a few niche directories with modest authority sent way more real clicks than big generic ones. Also, startup launch platforms (PH alternatives) drove a short burst that helped pages get crawled faster, which I didn’t expect. I tested a done-for-you pass too (for coverage + proof screenshots) and then fed their report back into my model: getmorebacklinks.org Curious if anyone else is ranking directories with ML features beyond the usual authority metrics? Awesome her...
