Directory Submission
Directory submission is a powerful link building strategy that you should implement in Internet marketing. Basically, it is the process of submitting a webpage or site to multiple online directories. You may be thinking, “But there are lots of search engines out there that can index my site and generate visitors for me. Why would I need online directories?” Well, think again.
Although web users these days are more inclined to use search engines when looking for stuff, online directories still enjoy a sizable amount of popularity, especially the more established ones, like Yahoo! and Bing (but this doesn’t mean you should ignore the smaller ones). In fact, getting your site listed in as many directories as possible can prove to be beneficial to you because:
- Online directories provide solid, permanent links which can improve link popularity.
- They can help in getting your site land in major search engine listings.
- They can also increase your site’s visibility and eventually, your search engine rankings.
- By appearing on the listings, you can be sure that your target audience are being reached (online directory listings are arranged per category).
Submitting your website to online directories can be exhausting and time-consuming, though. Just imagine visiting every directory site in the Internet (there are hundreds, possibly thousands of them). You may try using automatic submission software to save you all the trouble, but you cannot bet on its chances of success. Most online directories reject automatic submission. There’s also the probability that your site might be entered into the wrong category thus disenfranchising your prospects. The best thing to do is employ manual directory submission.
