Directory Submissions

I recently hear, according new seo updates, directory submissions no more works. Is it true?

 

I read on SEOmoz blog that it's important to connect all the elements together (SEO, brand, social media, web content etc.). Directory submission still has some influence, but it is not as effective as it once was, far more efficient is forum posting, blog commenting, article submission, guest posting etc. The main thing is to register your site to quality directory such as DMOZ. Most SEO continues to offer directory submission.

 

Directory Submission will work for your site only if you submit your site in high pr directory sites.

 

I think directory submission works. But good quality directories are counted more. Dont submit using automatic softwares to some crap directories.

 

I think it all plays a part. Let's say there is no more SEO value through directory submissions. It will still help you if you're a small business by potentially connecting other people with your business. So I don't think it will hurt you, but I do see some help in posting directory submissions when you are doing other things to boost you SEO.

 

Usually short content do not give much weight same to classified. But one thing you need to know the advantages of directories are where showing to google that your business are from local.
This help you to rank better in the specific country search while google likely will advantages those local business to rank higher .

 

Directory submissions now a days is to build backlinks. However, due to the spam Google has stopped giving value to most of the general web directories.

 

I still do directory submission, but for those with high pagerank and good domain authority.

 

someone told me directory submission is dead.

 

I think it's not only dead, it's also a no-no for google.

 

Submissions to high page rank directories have still an importance..

 

You can submit to as many directories as you like; but (there is that word again) your submission must not have the same content, both A. word-for-word and B. topic-for-topic (ie: spinners relocating content and substituting synonyms wont work).

So submit away; but you must have content that is truly distinctive on each directory or Google will simply mark each of your submissions as 'Not Selected' for its index status and there will be no point to your efforts...

 

I think it is no longer work, but can we submit our website on local directories..?

 

Directory submissions still works. It's still a good method of getting backlinks, but it's not as effective as before. You need to mix it with other backlinking methods so that you end up with a variety of quality backlinks from various sources.

Hope that helps. Have a good day!

 

Every directory site now only for website submission or get backlinks . You should do directory for making your website powerful domain to search by visitors . So it is important.

 

Directory submissions certainly will not get you penalized. However, they generally do not have much value any more as Google has reduced the value of such links and as directories in general are used less than ever before (people use search engines, social media etc. to find what they want).

That said, submitting to some of the better directories might help. However, I would not put too much into it.

 

It is totally untrue........I had done directory submission but with high PR for my website quite recently and now my page rank jumped from 0 to 1.........Initalliy i also lost hope with directories after i heard from lots of people around but now my website www (dot) zebrathemes (dot) com is the big one for all those people spreading the wrong information........

 

If you are getting links for niche directory that will help you.

 

But the directory must be of High PageRank too otherwise it wont have any effect on google spiders when they do the crawling stuff for updating rank....

 

Yes, niche & high PR directory links will work.
