So I just learned about keyword optimizing. If I submit to a bunch of directories with the specific keyword, will it increase my chance of ranking for google? I mean I know it won't be much, but it won't negatively affect any rankings will it?
use different description/keywords.. dont spam to 1000s of directories with same info.. do it slowly.... and quality directories will work.
No keyword stuff in titles or descriptions, keep a nice title with a little phrase which describes your site the best. Use as many titles and descriptions and you'll surely see an increase in rankings.
Yes You Submit thousand directories and improve your PR but Not only Directory Submit Your site in Social Bookmarking Sites, Classifieds ad, Forums Posting This Steps is Also include
I agree that doing submission with one keyword will improve your rankings, however it is not recommended to do the same in one go, if you want to use only one keyword then spread it over time.
imo use 1000 different keywords is better than 1000 same one, Anyway choose quality directories is more important.
I agree with other members when they say use multiple titles and descriptions for your website. Remember natural links given to your site from different people will never use the same anchor text.
In most cases it won't make any difference. Focus on quality links in order to increase SERP. That's right.
I have just written a post on how to submit to web directories, you may have a look using the link in my blogroll. Any comments or suggestions are most welcome.
It took me 2 mins clicking on your sig links and browsing to find the damn link "in your blogroll" until I saw the link in your "Recent Blog"
Submit 100-200 directory per day, don't submit more directory per, google consider it spam if you submit more directories in short time
So, how many direcotries I have to submit per day ? You said: best quality directories. How can I check it ? Maybe some example... Because I don't know what I have to check in directories to be sure it's good quality directory. (sorry for my englisch)
I could say a 1000, yes, bcoz not all your links are goin to get approved in single day, so just relax and proceed on your way
