Directory Submissions are one of the easiest methods of getting links. The practice has been in place since the concept of link building came into effect when Google started judging a sites' ranking potential based on the number of incoming links it had.
From SEO experts with years of experience to SEO novices and website owners, a host of people with varying levels of expertise turn to Directory Submission everyday, because they are all aware that it is one of the first few steps needed for a website to get recognized by the search engines.
Many of us forget to consider just what Directory Submission involves and how it can best aid our SEO efforts - submitting to a list of directories just like that will hardly prove to be effective or helpful. There are plenty of of factors to consider before you submit to a directory. Smarter search engines, tougher-than-ever competition and ever-changing SEO trends have made it very important that directory submissions are done with utmost care and any possible help from experts.
Listed below are the basic tips to consider while submitting to a web directory, follow the pointers below to make your submissions more effective.
Tips
1. Submit to directories that are indexed by the search engines. The directory should not use the 'rel=no follow' attribute for a link, this will prevent the search engines from finding your site in the directory.
2. Submit to the most relevant category. Sites submitted to inappropriate or unrelated categories may be rejected or removed.
3. Read and follow the guidelines of the directory before you begin the submission process.
4. Include your target keywords in your titles, but don't resort to 'keyword stuffing'.
5. Keep track of your submissions. You want to avoid submitting to the same directories again.
6. Use relevant targeted keywords instead of popular broad-based keywords as your title. E.g. "Duplex Houses for Sale in Florida" instead of "Real Estate - Florida".
7. Rotate and use as many different titles and descriptions as possible.
8. Keep submitting to directories from time to time - do not stop.
