Hello All, I have submitted my site to many free directories ( around 350 -400 ) and i also checked the approval in those directories.. my site is approved in almost 150 directories. But i can not see any directory post as my site's backlinks.. Can anyone guide me, how can i get backlinks from these directories ?
There is no guarantee that your site will be listed when you submit it to a directory. Some directories will approve your site and others will reject it. You should build backlinks from multiple sources not just directories. You should try article marketing, it's another great way to build backlinks.
Quality links is the key . You can submit to a bunch of free directories, but there junk. Worry about building better links over time.
It can take weeks for your links to be indexed, and sometimes much longer. Get links from a variety of sources, and you will see your backlink profile improve over time.
Some of the free directory is worthless. most of them dont stay online for long. its waste of time submit
i think Op is talking about site being approved on directories but backlinks are not showing. it can take google 2-3 months to index the sites and show the backlinks. usually Y! explorer shows backlinks lot sooner than google. another thing is, directory links are always show on indexing as they are placed on internal pages, sometimes 3 or more clicks away from main page. it takes time for google to crawl those inner pages and show the backlinks
Yeah, like what the others had said. Try other methods, to promote your site. Maybe start introducing to your friends etc. Just submitting to directories wont get your enough backlinks.
Have you not tried writing an article about your product/service then put 2 links in the bio, this does work for building backlinks. Also use comment kahuna (free trial) this is a do follow blog finder for your niche, just type in the keywords and it brings up sites that you can leave comments on and will be backlinks, Try to include 1 or 2 keywords in your comment as YOUR name, as this will be classed as the anchor text. This will build quality backlinks within your niche area and this is quality!
some free sites can take up to 4 months to submit your site, and it can also take a while for that site to get indexed
I don't even bother submitting to directories because if it doesn't hurt your ranking with search engine rankings already, it will in the future. This will be viewed just the same as link farms.
