Brands handle shipping and returns and people make a 15-25% commission instead of traditional retailers earning the commission. It’s free to open a store and people can buy from each other directly within existing channels like Instagram, Twitter, or Facebook as well as on the web and on the Storr app. Sellers can also donate a percentage of their earnings to Storr’s non-profit partners.

12.21 Web Directories That Still Have Value in 2019

Where Do Web Directories Stand Today?
Today, Google’s algorithm is a lot more complex. While links are still one of the top ranking signals, Google no longer views all links equally.

Links from a web directory listing are a lot less influential than a super relevant contextual link from a high-authority site in your niche.

That’s not to say web directories are completely meaningless.

According to Moz research, web directories and local citations still appear to be a small ranking factor – especially for local business. However, Google’s John Mueller himself has said that directory links “generally” don’t help with SEO.
