Directory Submissions System
Lots of people debate weather directory submissions are worthwhile. Those that do use it use different strategies. I’m going to share the strategies I use that you may consider applying and why I believe that directory submission is useful.
The main reason I like directory submission for building links to my websites is that it is brainless easy work once you have a system in place.
First I create a word document. I put the link title or titles I want to use, my name, the web page address, keywords and come up with a bunch of short descriptions of my site. I also will come up with a few longer descriptions. Now the hard part is done.
The second thing I do is go to directorymaximizer.com or search for free directories on my specific topic. Then I copy the directory web addresses into a new tab and into my word document sometimes I fill out multiple directories at one time in multiple tabs.
Next I just copy and paste the information into each directory submission. You can submit to tons of directories all at once or you can space it out to avoid getting ‘sandboxed’ (loose site ranking), but your ranking usually comes back even if you do get ‘sandboxed’ so I would recommend doing as many as you feel like doing.
The next time I wanted to submit to directories for another site I would have a list of directories already. I try to choose directories with the highest page rank and I also check in which links are showing up in yahoo and google as well as which links are being clicked. Another good idea is to check the page that your site will be listed on to see if it is ranked or indexed if it is it would be a great idea to submit your site to that directory. You may also want to compare categories that you could submit to within a site for higher rankings.
Then you can make a separate list of directories that you must submit to. You should continue with this process until you have a large list of good directories. Then you can outsource the project with a list of directories for them to submit to when you build a new site. Do you see the power of this? Easy link juice for your site.
What are your thoughts on the subject?
