Directories Submission Points

Hi friends,

Submission in web directories is an old and still a good way to build link popularity and search engine rankings. You can also see this recommendation in Google’s Link Schemes.

There are thousand of free and paid web directories found on internet. Also, with most of are a dead source now (not getting the submissions), sometimes it is just a waste of time to make submissions in that dead sources. I only suggest or prefer having submission in a worthful web directory which can give some relevant traffic and a stable link for the website. I always suggest – Do it manually, don’t go for any software or AUTO Submissions. I know this will take time, but this is only the right way to do submissions in a web directory.

What we need to check while web directory submission? Check these general points before doing submissions -

• Web directory shouldn’t be a dead source, first of all.
• It should be in Search engines indexing. You can check it by [index:] and [info:] commands in Google. Also check it by Yahoo! Site Explorer. It shouldn’t be a Banned Web Directory by Search engines.
• Should be relevant to your business, or should have a category for your business. Submission in a irrelevant category / directory will just worthless.
• That will be great if web directory having high PageRank.
• Make sure that the directory shouldn’t have any rel=nofollow on the links.

Go for Quality, not for Quantity.

And some more useful points -
Your site should be complete in every aspects i.e. Content and Designing before doing submissions in web directories as most of directories are not accepting incomplete websites. And, always try to use various Title and relevant Description for submissions to get more search engine rankings with more keywords. There are also directories allow you to submit deep links, so good to submit in them also.

Cheers!
