Directory Submission

[varun]

Web Directory submission forms part of a link building service and can help you with the important task of submitting your website to directories that are valued by the major search engines. There are 2 types of submission services available; automated and manual.
An automated service uses a script to visit the directory and tries to submit the site into an appropriate category. Directory owners despise these services and use anti-spam technologies such as image-text validation such to prevent their use.
A manual submission service visits each web directory and submits your site to the most appropriate category. We use our vast knowledge of the various directories to offer a quality, cost effective manual submission service.

Directory submission is considered to be one of the most important and basic marketing strategies of online marketing, providing an effective and rapid way to get new links to a site (known as 'link juice'). Opinions on how best to approach directory submission range from those who consider it worthwhile submitting to every directory that exists, to those who advocate being highly selective and hand submitting to only a few of the better directories. There are certainly plenty of options available, with some companies offering to submit your site to 500 directories for only $500 for example.

While at face value this might appear great value giving your site a wide coverage at a relatively small price, the consensus amongst professionals experienced in directory submission is that your money would be far better spent on targeting the quality directories and manually submitting the entry. It is an opinion that we share at SEO Consult. Not only are there many ineffective directories, but repeated mass submission to low rent directories might even detrimentally affect your search engine ranking.

The key things that search engines look when determining whether a directory will pass 'link juice' are relatively straightforward. Essentially you should ask yourself:

1. Is there a submission policy in place that means you are paying for an editor to review your listing, not to get a listing? The main point here is that it means that there is real editorial judgement implied by the policy. Yahoo has a listing fee of $299. In Yahoo's case you certainly get what you pay for.
2. Is there evidence that the policy is properly enforced? The point here is how credible is the site? Credible enough to turn down hard cash for not including a substandard entry? Directories that enforce editorial judgement are of great value to the search engines. A source of sites assessed by human editors carries enormous weight in the search engine continual pursuit of relevance. The search engines love relevance; what could be better than sites reviewed by human editors?

Here are some of the other qualities to look for when considering directory submission.

1. Do their category pages have plenty of back links from authoritative sites?
2. Do Webmasters complain about them or avoid them because they're selective?
3. What is your personal opinion when you visit one of their category pages and click the listed sites? Is the return satisfactory?
4. Do other webmasters aspire to be included, working hard so that their sites might be eligible?
5. Do they prune their listings, dropping outdated or superseded sites? It is said that a good directory should not have an infinite size.
6. Does the directory have a clear editorial policy and content quality control?
7. Is the site ad revenue supported? Sites dependent on ad revenue rely on the quality of their listings. This creates a big incentive for them to refuse admittance to bad sites.

The most popular & important Internet directories are DMOZ and Yahoo! Google is search engine, directories manages links under various categories & sub-categories. All of us have to manually submit your link to a directory. Once you have submitted the link, a human reviewer visits your link. So all your links are subjected to high level of scrutiny, which is not possible with software assisted submissions. When your link is approved & included in the directory, the search engines consider it as a validation & hence they attach more value to your presence in the directory rather than on some other website.Although very few people these days prefer to sift through the directory categories to find the links they want, search engines use these web directories as potent referral systems and there is a reason behind it.
