Using blog directories for blog submission is useful or count as spam ? Still working after panguin updates ?
It is useful but you do't have to go and submit your site to million of directories. My advice will be to use only such sites which have high Page Rank and are reputable such as technocrati among others.
Spam work will always count as spam, if you submit quality blog submission then sure you can get benefits.
Yes absurlutely usefull friends If you submitt your blog in blog directories is realy a beneficial to the buisness growth...Do this google was cache this...
Definitely it is useful. I think it is still working after the Google Panda updates. The updates only affects who spam optimization tricks. Otherwise it's still works and Quality Directory submission will helps you to get results like brand or product promotion.
Useful because link is still a link. you just have to choose which submission site you will use. most dir site is hosted on a single server which gives you single IP. dont waste your time on this kind of strategy, instead focus on social media and other natural link building strategy.
Yeah it is completely not spamming. In my point of view, you can submit your site to any sites unless you don't violate any restriction or rules of google.
Blog submission is still an effective technique that adds to Google ranking. However, today's blog submission does not target generating backlinks. It's all about increasing your web presence and earning reputation in your particular niche. You can learn more about blogging for instance here: http://basicblogtips.com/. Also, when looking for guest blogging opportunities, check out SEO metrics of the web resource you intend to place a post at, such as PR, Alexa rank, social media sharing etc. The thing is that the quality of blogs matters, and if you post to a niche-relevant and expert blog - the traffic you get in return will be more targeted while your site will be eventually considered by Google as worth ranking higher.
The way I look at it, if a link (backlink) will create referral traffic, then it's a good backlink. You think google gives relevance to useless links out there that nobody ever clicks?
Blog directory submission will not only give your blog the required online exposure but it will also give your blog good quality links. It is not only websites that need good back links, even blogs require good quality back links to get the required ranking in the search engines. Today there are good number of blog directory submission services on the web, choose a reliable blog directory submission service provider to handle your submission needs.
If it's free and there are some decent directories, I don't see any harm. I would also spend time COMMENTING on similar niche blogs or just the blogs you routinely read. It will also drive traffic and help with your blog exposure. Not to mention it will get you more comments, since people have read your comments (quality ones, of course) and want to know more about you. It's the way I have built my blog's reputation in the past 5 years.
Yah, it is quite helpful. But you better try to submit your blogs to the sites which have good PR. Then you will get better success.
I guess, blog/web directories submission is still useful in creating backlink. But please note that, only submit your website/blog to the SEO friendly and quality directories. Make sure that they have high TrustRank instead of PageRank. And one thing, make sure to make a self-write description which never been used elsewhere. Quality is important in Search Engine marketing so be serious about duplicate content.
All sorts of directories are quite helpful in the early stages of promoting your website. They won't guarantee you any sort of rankings but do help to get your website noticed by the search engines and lay the foundations for your SEO efforts.
Of course blogging is useful -- especially if it's on high PR (authority) sites or niche-relevant sites. Don't just link to your website's homepage ... link to all your pages in various blogs so SEs think all of the pages in your site are important, and therefore your site is important. And vary the anchor text .... make sure the text that contains the backlink has solid key phrases in it, and alter the anchor text from blog to blog. Jason
