Hi All, I have seen a lot of people making money by adding links to directory. What is link building. How do they do that? What benift will one get if he submits his website link to these directories? Also, what benifts will a person get if he submit someone's link on his directory? Can anyone explain this to me. Thanks! ~Feb
The benefits are supposed to be increased numbers of visitors to your website - crucially these are supposed to be "targeted" visitors, i.e. people interested in what your website has to offer and are so therefore more likely to click on ads or buy stuff and so make you money. The second aspect is you might get an improved page rank, which supposedly helps your site's position in the google search results page.
I hope you are trying to understand what relevancy does submission of a site to a directory has. I should say that the whole game is about links fella Let us assume that some one made a site.Let the site be http://www.seeurl.com Now he needs traffic and orders to stay in business(that's why he made a site and got his business online) Right. Now to search for some info on the net you look upto either the SE's or the directories(Suppose you want to search a phone number to see to whom it belongs so you see the telephone directory) We will be coming to SE part later. Right So to get more traffic/orders/visibility he submits his site to the relevant category of a directory(A site selling CC's would be found in the finance section of a directory) Submission to directories is a manual job so the site owner takes the service of a few who are providing such service.

So does that mean that anyone can submit his link to these directories, If yes where do we get there directories from and who makes these directories info. What is the cost of sumbitting a link to these directories and also how do we know if we got any traffice from that site or not EDIT : I forgot to mention that i have added Green Rep to both of you. Thanks! But i still need a few more questions answered.
Anyone can add his url to a directory that allows free submissions(although you will find a good number of them asking for reciprocal links or better still your $$) As for where you can get these directory lists, they are available free of cost on the internet(you just need to reasearch), try searching DP forum itself for the term "directory list" As I said earlier there is no cost associated with submitting your site to directories that are free.Leave alone traffic stats as you are a newbie, you need to even check directories after you have placed your site details for approval by the directory owners as some of them don't even provide an email confirmation telling you whether they recieved an application for review of your site or better still whether they approved your url or not. Also while making submissions place the url in the most appropriate category. Hope this will help you out a little. Al
If you have your mind set on paying someone to submit for you, then try a few free directories by yourself first, just to make sure the traffic they bring to your site(s) is actually worth it because paying someone to submit to a lot.
Link building is a Search Engine Optimization technique where a website owner attempts to build revelant, quality inbound links to their website with the intentions of increasing the website importance, and by this increasing ranking in the Search Engines.
