SEO 101 - Lesson 3 - Submitting to Directories

Directory submissions are considered an effective and legitimate way to improve link popularity of your website.  Directory Submissions service from manual directory submission is one of the most important ways to build incoming links to a website from a related page. This can not only get your website a higher Google Page rank but also improve the SERP's. Directory submission allows you to quickly and easily get good incoming links to your site. These links are followed by the spider and almost never ignored. Directory submission services are good for people who are short on time but as I like to say if you can do it by yourself then do that. Directory Submission tops the list when it comes to promoting the web sites. When any web site is submitted correctly to the directories, it is observed that we get superior rankings in the particular search engines.

Directory submission is one of the most affordable SEO strategies you can find. Many directories will list your site for free, and even those sites that charge to list your site don't charge a prohibitive amount. There are three ways to submit to directories.

use a good directory submitter A Directory Submitter is not an automatic submission program. Rather, it will prefill all the fields on a submission form for you with the appropriate information from your site's profile, rotating descriptions and titles as directed. So you don't have to type in the information every time you submit to a directory.

Hire a directory submission service This is not a bad way to go either. Some submission services charge around 14 cent per directory which is pretty cheap. But if you have more than one web site or are planning on have more than one. Submitting to 2000%+ directories per site will start to add up. so if you have more than one site a directory submitter might be your best bet.

And third do it the hard way submit to each directory manually yourself (not recommended) You will spend so much time doing it. It wouldn't even be worth it.

The next best way to generating quality links and traffic is article writing and that is what we are going to talk about in the next lesson.
