Is it beneficial to submit a URL into directory now a days!!Pleas comment

Hello Friend

I want your comment on is it necessary to submit url into directory websites.....

 

Probably not, I got bored in June and submitted one of my sites into about 400 billion directories (ok, more like 200) and its PR is still firmly stuck at 3. I was hoping it might get to 4, but no ...

But then, Google may not have done any PR updates since then.

 

According to me it really helps and we need to do directory submissions for our site,the results of directory submission are absolutely late but good for our site...

 

It does help a lot if you know what you are doing. Submitting to four hundred billion directories of crap will not help you, but submitting to 20 quality directories can boost your site in many ways.

 

I agree with Awinsjclarke, Directory submissions are good until you post it to directories that of best qualities.

 

Good for getting some back links I think, atleast from what I had read. ☺

 

Is Shriv ComMedia Solutions your site? The site where you have a directory and offer directory submission?

Are you asking this question to consider changing your product offerings?

 

Try and find directories that are relevent to your website.

For example, my website is all about Mount Everest, so I would search for mountaineering/climbing directories.

 

Directory submission can definitely be beneficial to your site although if will be much more useful if you also include other link building methods such as social media, forum posts and blogs. See this article for details on making your link building look natural.


P.S. Don't expect directory submission to have immediate effects on your PR.

 

Yes, it is beneficial to submit your website in directories in order to get more backlinks and to get indexed faster.
If you have a small business website, it it advisable that the directories, you submit in, are relevant to it.

 

I say this all the time but it has been awhile so I'll say it again. When search engines are no longer needed or they no longer rank websites based on links then there will no need for directory submissions. Until then, directories will always be useful, regardless of their page rank or how long they have been around.

 

Well its certainly not detrimental.

Is submitting solely to a directory going to be the save all end all promotion required to drive your site to the top of the charts? No. Its just one part of a larger and more complex SEO strategy when it comes to a good mix of driving traffic, as well as ranking for keywords.

 

Submitting to directories is part of the SEO process and pretty much every webmaster does it. Here's some tips to improve the ranking you get from those submissions:

1) Make sure you use your important keywords in the link title (anchor text)

2) Try to find a relevant category to submit your link to with your keywords in their title and URL.

3) Vary up your anchor text, don't make every link have the same keywords.

4) Try to find your best category and search for it on Google. Example: For a tools website search for directories with something similar to: "inurl:tools intitle:tools submit link" try different methods to find more directories.

5) Download some kind of automatic form filler to help you register accounts, submit links, etc. roboform works ok.

Like others said, don't rely just on directory submissions but they are important as well.

 

Some said the results of directory submission are really late but good for our site.I hope it can benefit for my new site.

 

yes but its boring.its you will get tired doing the same thing everyday. But it has a good benefit to your site if your doing it regularly.

 

its my site and i am asking this question to improve the SEO work....Its mean if directory submission is beneficial then i will go ahead otherwise not.

 

Who else will give you free one way backlinks just by spending a minute or two? In my opinion, it's just like a silent investment. You do it and sit back, just forget about it. In a long run, it does benefit you and your website.

Yes if you are looking for a quick traffic, and a quick search engine rankings, do not waste your time with directory submission.

 

it is still beneficial but its a waste of time. you can just do something else if you just want backlinks.

 

Directory submission is beneficial if you submit it in the right category of the directory and also if it has a good PR.

Also the category you submit must has to be indexed by google. In that way you will get backlink benefits.
