Are Submitting to Directories that Effective?

Directory links are the best way to get a nice rank in Search Engine with your anchor text links. So, choose your way on it

 

I only use free directory inclusin services without reciprocals asked... I also use free directory submission softwares to save money but time-wise they will get 1 hour to submit your site to 150 directories, roughly...

 

Thanks for the link, will check out the free directories.

 

It's better to submit your site manually instead of using automatic software submission.

 

Along with directory submission, you can use article marketing to look your site at the top of google.

 

yes submitting to directories give your good result and more backlinks which can imporve the traffis of a site..

 

How much should you pay someone to submit for you?

 

I use them in start of every new website launch later on. I never turn back to them. Directories never rewarded me in terms of traffic.

 

For traffic yes, but if that directory dofollow, at least you earn some backlink

 

i post my own site. i dont pay anyone. regardless of paying someone to promote your website, it is better that we promote our own site so that we have a control of where our site is being promoted..

 

Quality links FTW

 

True good point about promoting your own site.

 

Agree with this.. beside that we can learn the step how its growing

 

How do you check people who you do pay for?

 

Directory submission is effective dear if the site where you submit your site is dofollow and of having good PR

 

Directories submission are an effective method to build back links.

 

If you can get into just a few (maybe 10 or so), bigg, high quality directories such as DMOZ, your search engine rankings will increase dramatically, as the good directories give very good authority backlinks.

 

Assuming that "submitting to directories" is one part of a larger slew of marketing and SEO strategies you plan to employ, then yes it can be extremely effective.

 

It definitively depends on quality of the links you get. Some backlinks will hurt your SERP, while others will help improve your PR. There are cases where a backlink produces a lot of irrelevant off-target traffic which is also bad. My opinion is not to submit your site to directories with low PR.

 

Directories submission is out of date nowadays. I have many websites and if you start promotion from directories submission as use to be you are in time trouble
Only articles marketing and web2.0 web submission work well
