Directory submissions are the affordable search engine optimization (SEO) method of choice for thousands of internet business owners across the planet. If you've spent any amount of time looking for affordable website promotion, you've likely come across webmaster forums or blogs boasting about the benefits of directory submissions. For those who don't know what all of the fuss is about, we've outlined a few directory submission benefits and what this website promotion service can do for you and your internet business in today's competitive keyword market.

Directory submissions provide increased link popularity.

By and large, the biggest reason that you should use directory submissions as part of your websites optimization and promotion is because of the fact that obtaining incoming links for your website is one of the most important ranking factors in the major search engines ranking algorithms, especially in competitive keyword markets. For instance, if you wanted your website to improve rankings in Google for keywords like "search engine optimization", "web hosting" or "car insurance", you absolutely could not get your website to move up into the top 10 in Google for these terms without a significantly large number of incoming links. In competitive keyword markets it is impossible to maintain, or even obtain, good placement in the SERPs (search engine results pages) without obtaining a large number of backlinks to boost your global link popularity.

In addition to increasing link popularity, there are a number of other directory submission benefits:

1. Getting listed in major search engines. The days of using the "add URL" page to submit your website to Google are long passed; major search engines find new websites through incoming links. When using directory submissions, you can get your website listed in Google and other major search engines in a matter of days sometimes, not the 4-6 weeks it takes using Google's "add a website" page.

2. Increased visits from search engine robots. Search engine robots are the agents that scour the web looking for new websites; if you use a directory submission service, or submit to directories on your own, you are increasing the likelihood of search engine robots crawling your website more often.

3. Increased visibility to search engines. The more incoming links you have to your website, such as can be obtained through directory submissions and other link building strategies, the better. By increasing your global link popularity you are increasing the frequency by which search engine robots access your website, thus increasing your websites visibility to the search engines.

4. Keyword targeting. Directory submissions help website owners build keyword relevancy for their websites. By using keyword focused anchor text for your directory listings, you are improving the keyword relevancy of your website for the keywords that you use for the "website title" field during directory submissions.

5. Brand building. This falls in line with keyword targeting, but it deserves a spot on this list. Website owners can increase brand awareness by using their business name within the anchor text of their directory listing. When used in conjunction with keyword-focused anchor text during the directory submission process, you're effectively getting keyword targeting, link building and brand name building all in the same step.

6. Relevant link building. If a directory is well-managed, you will get the benefit of receiving a contextual link, or a link from a page with topically related content. This, in itself, is a powerful directory submission benefit.
There are many directory submission benefits, and a big reason that they are such a popular website promotion method is because they are affordable. Directory submissions, when considering the cost to benefit ratio, are the wholesale website promotion method of choice for many of todays website owners on a budget.

Paid Links vs. Link Exchanges: What''s Best For YOU?

Anik Singal 2006-11-21
Title: Paid Links vs. Link Exchanges: What''s Best For YOU?
There are two different strategies to get backlinks to a website. One of them is to pay a yearly fee to get your site listed in a Directory, the other is to pay a web master to link to you. So, what are the advantages/disadvantages of each? Lets discuss web directories first:

To effectively get the most from your web directory dollar, you need to understand what a link in a web directory can and can’t do for you. In theory, a web directory provides two primary benefits:

(1) Increased link-popularity resulting from a one-way link from a highly-respected resource.

(2) Increased traffic from being listed in a directory that is searched by many people every day.

But for these benefits to kick in, the directory must have a certain level of popularity. So when you pay for a listing, you should look for evidence of value. (Of course, if the link is free, no need to look a gift horse in the mouth - just take the link!)

The two most popular Directories on the web today are Yahoo! and The Open Directory Project (dmoz).

YAHOO! A listing in Yahoo!'s directory has direct benefits: Google – and perhaps other search engines as well – give your website added importance if your website is listed in the Yahoo! directory. Yahoo! is also the portal of choice for millions of users, making your potential target market at least in the hundreds of thousands, even for obscure niches. The cost for a listing is $299/year, as of this writing.

dmoz (ODP) dmoz, or the Open Directory Project, is a directory that rivals the reach of Yahoo!. But, luckily for you, it's free! However, unlike a lot of free web offers, it's still very valuable. Directories like the Google Directory and many others are powered by the results from dmoz, which can help create the traffic you are striving for.

However, because a listing in dmoz is free, there is very little you can do about the time factor. Many websites that are submitted are never indexed, mainly because demand outstrips the editors' available time. Some industry watchers feel the Open Directory is essentially dead, and will never catch up with its backlog of sites.

But, why look a gift horse in the mouth? List your site here and hope that it becomes visible in the near future.

Don't go crazy and try to get listed in every directory! In most cases, a directory listing is useful only for the link popularity. If you can find better deals purchasing links on authority sites in your niche, go for them.

Unfortunately, you might have to pay a monthly fee to a webmaster for a link. Therefore, you may find that paying the one-time fee for a directory listing is cheaper. And, with the big directories like Yahoo!, dmoz and GoGuides, it can also bring you reasonable traffic.

As always, remember that directory listings form a small part of your overall online marketing strategy. If you don't have the budget for a Yahoo! listing, don't sweat it. Focus on other forms of marketing, and come back to it when you can afford it. Anik Singal is an Internet Entrepreneur and expert in affiliate marketing, including the latest web traffic tactics.

Title: Directory Submission Has Replaced The Search Engine Submission
There is no doubt that search engine optimization (SEO) is very important to the overall success that you have with your website. Unfortunately, however, there are many people out there who spend lots of time and money submitting their websites in hopes of improving their search engine rankings.

One of the main benefits that directory submission has to offer is the fact that your website will be more likely to be seen. Although anyone can find anything looking through a search engine, unless you have a very high search engine ranking, chances are that your website will not be found. Directories, on the other hand, almost always have some sort of purpose or theme. When people are looking for Saint Bernard-related websites, they may decide to refer to a Saint Bernard directory. If you have submitted your website to a directory, the people who are interested in this subject will be more likely to see it.

Through the use of directory submission techniques, you will also be more likely to get the higher search engine ranking that any internet marketer is interested in. This especially is true if you are submitting your website to a very reputable directory, rather than to a lesser known one. One of the biggest decisions that you will probably need to make when you decide that you want to try out directory submission as an internet marketing strategy is whether you should use paid directories or free directories. It is important to weight the benefits of each option before making your choice. Although free directories are a great option if you are on a low marketing budget, you might not get the results which are looking for. An website directory that you will need to pay for is often a lot more beneficial in increasing the amount of internet traffic that your website sees, as well as your overall search engine ranking. Overall, it is important to realize that your search engine ranking can be increased through the use of directory submission.

You might want to think about using directory submission as internet marketing strategy if you want to ensure that anyone can easily find your website with a specific topic in mind, if you want to increase the internet traffic that your website gets or if you want to increase your search engine ranking. If you have only ever used search engine submission, chances are that directory submission is something that you may want to give a try. Since this internet marketing strategy is known to be very effective, you will be likely to get the results that you are hoping for.

 

Experts Suggest Link Directory Submission Process To Get More One Way Links

Tom Dahne 2007-09-21
Title: Experts Suggest Link Directory Submission Process To Get More One Way Links
SEO experts suggest link directory submission process that will improve your numbers - in terms of link backs dramatically. Many newbie webmasters and even the veterans follow an arbitrary process of link directory submissions.

They do not have a process
1. To check if they have submitted their links correctly,

2. If it has been accepted?

3. Is the link pointing to the correct page?

4. Are the titles and descriptions what you want?

They submit the links and forget about it.

If you wish to get top rankings for your website on the search engines this kind of haphazard and half-hearted measures won't work.

Experts suggest link directory submission process that follows a step-by-step approach to getting one-way links.

1. Make sure you choose SEO friendly web directory. The one-way links should be direct, static, and SEO-friendly. Javascripts, robots no follow tags means you won't get any SEO benefit from the link back.

2. Find the best category/sub-category for your web site link. Browse or use search to find the best page to place your link. The page should contain relevant material to your niche and is one or two clicks away from the home page of the directory. Burying your link 10 pages deep won't give you much benefit.

3. Pay attention to your title and description for your website link. Don't think you have to stuff them with keywords. Write in a normal, catchy and descriptive manner with keywords naturally thrown in.

4. Write multiple titles, descriptions with various keywords and mixed. Have at least 10-15 variations. When submitting mix and match titles and descriptions. If search engines find hundreds of links with the same anchor text and description they will simply discount the links. It will be waste of your time and effort to submit to these sites.

5. Make sure your website is completed in all respects. Human editors may not like to see under-construction or broken link pages. They may reject your site submission for these reasons.

6. Make your link directory submission and note the web directory URL and category under which you have submitted the page.

7. About a week later check that your link has been listed in the correct directory category, with the description and title of your choice.

8. If you feel that it has been listed in wrong category or some other issue write to the editors to make the required correction. Best is to ensure that you follow all their guidelines and submit the human friendly title and description.

9. Look for niche directories that accept only links from particular niche categories.

10. Make your title and description catchy enough that when a human visitor chances upon it, they will click on it.

Repeat the process. Experts suggest link directory submission targets for every week. Say you set a target 15 one-way links per week.

Over time you will notice that this process comes automatically to you and you will be getting quality one-way links that are SEO friendly. Experts suggest link directory submission process to become part of your daily routine. You will start noticing results with in a month and in less than a year you should be dominating your niche.

 

Directory Submission Guide And Link Building With Directory Submissions

Manish Mathukiya 2006-11-15
Title: Directory Submission Guide And Link Building With Directory Submissions

Link Building with Directory Submission

Link Building is very crucial in search engine optimization. It denotes the process of building external links so that a user browsing a website could easily find more or other relevant info on the same topic by referring to those links. Search engines give due weightage to similar practices and rank such websites higher than ordinary ones. In their ranking process, search engines consider links pointing to a website as ‘votes’ to the respective website, an appreciation to its relevance or importance given by other websites, and hence rates such websites higher in the order amongst search results. In short, the more the links pointing towards a website, the better will be its page rank. But, on a finer scale, it should also be kept in mind that most of the links pointing towards a website must be from high ranked pages for better page rankings. Further, out of context links does more damage than providing any real benefit.

So, how to get other websites link to your website? Well, one way to achieve that is through directory submissions. There is an assortment of search engine friendly directories available – such as open directory project, MSN and Yahoo - that will be ready to link to your website provided it includes relevant information and confirms with their guidelines and rules of submission. But, care must be taken that you are submitting your website to only relevant directories and to the right categories and not anything in random. Well, it may take a bit of research and effort to get your website submitted in the relevant and popular directories, but once your website could make a permanent listing in the popular directory or directories, soon the traffic to the website will increase and more advertisements and permanent links starts to flow in with enhanced ease. Once reached that level, the link building will become self sustaining and the search engine rankings also will improve accordingly, provided your website continues to provide useful and relevant contents in a consistent manner.

Tail Piece: The difference between search engines and directory submissions is that in the latter, it is human editors who decide on the final submission location and not any automated tool. Since it is human editors who are making the final call, chances are high that a website might reach its right destination in terms of directory/category, most of the times.

How to Get Better Acceptance in Directory Submission

It is clear from the foregoing that directory submission could contribute immensely to link building. But, how to get your website acceptable to directories? In order to get better acceptance in directory submissions, the first thing to take note is to make your website relevant to the directories. Any thing junk or random is not entertained by any of the popular directories. Further, submitting your webpage in to right categories makes the process quicker and such pages will generally gets listed without any delay. Remember, it is manual editors who accepts or rejects applications for submissions, and for a person who might be viewing thousands of web pages daily, it is far easier to reject a page than accepting it. So, how simple and straight you could make your submissions as possible, the more are the chances of it getting listed in the directories.

Another aspect that goes a long way in enhancing acceptance in directories is the way the titles, description and keywords are organized for a web page. Every directory will have their own rules and regulations, and hence web pages must also be organized around such constraints. Regarding descriptions, most directories require it to be short – in the range of 100 – 250 words that may vary from one directory to another – crisp, and to the point. Descriptions that are huge or of ‘beating around the bush’ type are generally showed the door by the directory editors. The same is the benchmark for keywords as well – it needs to be more organized and focused, and not just another group of irrelevant and relevant ones mixed randomly. In that regard, it will be prudent to make a short list of all prospective keywords first before finalizing the most optimal keyword for submission. That will ease the job for you.

Finally, do not spam your directory listings with words being used uncontrollably and insensibly. Directory editors hate such practices and similar applications are rejected outright without any chance for a second consideration.

Finally, do not spam your directory listings with words being used uncontrollably and insensibly. Directory editors hate such practices and similar applications are rejected outright without any chance for a second consideration.
