    I hate to rock your boat but that’s not a productive keyword phrase. It won’t bring you much traffic, your much better off optimizing for web directory or better yet website directory. Free submission directory is also very good if it fits your service.

    Yes, we are 'optimized' for most of the keywords that directories will fit under. What happens is you'll get good positions at first for maybe even upto 2 months, then you get hit and gradually move downwards for most of your 'top' keywords.

    Google will do it to you and there's not much you can do about it. So messing about with keywords doesn't do much.

    We're only doing well for maybe 4 of our keywords, and our others suck big-time, just like we knew they would. We don't bother anymore because whatever we do, Google just keeps us down hehe.

    You'll soon end up on page 20 or 30, then it just gets tougher because you then have to go out and get 200 links to get a boost in the serps, trouble is everyone else is too. We no longer bother entertaining Google, there are much better ways to promote and it's got nothing to do with SERPS.

    I suggest you find new ways too, it's a lot easier I'm telling you.

    Would you share your experience with this keyword?

    What about "web directory"?

    I guess Google heart you and that is why u r so negative as i can see in all your posts.So you dont bother anymore for your serps at google?are u serious?Either we like it or not Google is the number 1 source that bring visitors to our websites and u should bother.Because if google doesnt favor your website (most of the times)something is wrong and u have to fix it!

    That's not bad :). I don't see too many searches for the keyword but sure it's good to rank.

    I've been listed in the top3 for several keywords like offshore hosting,expert articles,online marketing info
    It's important to have a lot of backlinks.
