Benefits of Directory Submission

    • Directory Submission provides high quality backlinks: This is one of the main objectives of carrying out this process because backlinks are the most valuable output we look for in any link building processes.
    • Anchor Text: We can use a desired keyword as an anchor text, which will be hyperlinked to the site providing you an anchor text backlink. This anchor text provides you anchor listing which in turn improves your keyword relevancy and provides visibility. The more sites linking to this anchor text the better the results will be.
    • Increases Traffic: The concept of web directories is similar to yellow pages and telephone directory. Lot of people perform searches when they require any kind of information, they browse the web directories to find the most appropriate link from where they can get information. Thus, if your site is listed in a relevant category, traffic will come to you.
    • Search Engine Indexing becomes easier: As we know Search engines take their own time to index your website. Submitting to directories makes search more feasible for search engines; hence they can track our site more easily thus increasing the chance to getting Index. Basically Search engines traces your site following the backlinks from other sites, so if you are listed on directory sites they will follow your links to your site and add you to their databases. So it is said, the more backlinks you have the easier it is for search engines to index your site.
    • Adds value to site: We perform this technique to gain backlinks from quality sites. The more legitimate backlinks you have the higher will be the frequency of search engine bots to visit your site. This frequency adds value to the site and with time increases popularity and Brand value.
    • Niche Directory Submission: Submitting to directories might sound like an easy task but it is always recommended that proper care should be taken while selecting a directory to submit your website. Directory listing from a niche directory submission gives you high quality backlinks.
    • Link Building: This is one of the most important methods used in link building. The more authentic links you get the more valuable your website becomes. Directory listing can replicate natural link building. Directory Submission also provides you a platform to find link exchange partners if interested. There are many relevant sites which look for link exchange having the same genre and quality links.

    I allow anyone who wants to post content to post it to all 4 my article directories. These are a great way to help build backlinks to your websites themselves. Just don't make the articles full of links or seem spammy. Many people post in the wrong categories as well. Posting in the right categories on directories helps you out alot more. If you need some article directories private message me and ill send you the 4 links. There instant approval, do-follow, allow blog commenting, and allow social media promoting of your articles.

    Directory submission is helpful if you submit only unique description so that all the submission would be indexed.

    Benefits of directory submissions: • Back links: One of the major objectives of directory submissions is to generate link building towards an e-commerce website. Generating back links are the major benefits of web-directory submissions which in turn results in more traffic flow towards a website.
    • Search Engine Indexing: Another major benefit of directory submissions is guaranteed search engine indexing. The search engines locate your website following the back links form other websites. If your website’s link is discovered on the directory site, the spiders will follow the links to your website, thus results in increasing the visits and indexing in the databases of search engines.
    • Frequent visits by spiders: Search engine spiders often visit the websites present on World Wide Web to collect information for archives. The more back links a website has the more frequent the spiders will visit the website and higher a website will rank.
    • Anchor Text: Using anchor text on your website will eventually be hyperlinked to your website providing you an anchor- back link text from the directories. Hence directory submissions using keywords as anchor-text will boost your link reputation.

    Sounds good but more and more directories have less power in SEO.

    directory submission is useful only if the directory sends a decent amount of traffic to your linked website..like technorati, dmoz and yahoo directory. All other are crap !!

    I think directory submission is useful but one must pay attention on niche directories to get the maximum benefit from them.

    Directory, I think, is not very important to Google because, it has too many link out. Anyway, it is still good because your client may find you on a directory list.
