Carry out a quick search before creating a new thread: Here is a few tips: Directory submission should be done manually and not automated so you have more control over the directories you are submitting to. Stay away from automated directory submission tools. Check the directory, has it been penalised by Google Check if the directory is still active and the owner has not just given up on it Submit to quality directories and not those which approve any spammy site Don't use directories as your only strategy, you can comment on quality blogs, signature links on quality forums are a couple you can use. Look for human edited directories Check the directory is found in search results You could be waiting for a while if submitting free submissions as you won't be the only one, there will be thousands of free submissions waiting. Paid submissions may be the better option so your submission can be reviewed quickly, thats if you have the budget Don’t submit to too many directories too fast, space out. Do some research into what type of submissions the directory has stored
The best way is to submit to quality web directories manually after reading and following each directory submission guide.
