    I know Article submission is submitting articles to article directories like ezine, buzzle, goarticles, etc. (Let me know if I'm wrong). But what really is called Directory submission?? How to do it? How important is it in SEO?

    Directory Links Provide a structured category link listing options, and deep link directory listings, which allow for multiple relevant instant back links to be post with relevant content.
    The relevant content within a link directory listing is the description of the link and site that the linking back to from within the article.

    Some article directories do allow back-links within the textual content of the article itself, where as most link directory websites do not allow back-links within the descriptions of the website link.

    Every link directory and article directory is different and most directories have a unique category structure and different variations of category options for directory link listings to be submitted in.
    • Not only is very article directory different, but every has a different idea of what the best way to submit a link listing to or article listing in a article directory.
    • Everyone has a unique style of writing content, creating optimized back-links for SEO, and everyone post links in different link directories and article directories.
    It is import to note in regards to SEO, it's not all about where back-links are posted and if link directory websites or article directory submissions are used!

    How the listing is created and properly optimized for SEO is very important, but to most people that seems to be the confusing part. Try take the few minutes that it takes to write unique content for all link directory listing submission and articles that are posted.

    Using Linking Directory Websites, Premium Link Directories, Free Link Directories for SEO is very important!! Just make sure to post all link directory listings by hand, do not use automated link directory submission software!

    For SEO >> Link Directory Websites are a very important part of (SEO) Search Engine Optimization.
    • Create and submit only a few very highly optimized listings from reliable link directory websites.

    Can you give me examples of sites/directories where I can submit? I've not know about this factor and I have been considering this to be the same as Article submission into sites like ezine.



    How does it create multiple backlink(s) when we just submit in one directory? Can you explain this as well?

    Hi SEOMan, thanks for your detailed response. But due to complicated nature of sentences, some appear meaningless to me and I'm sorry to say I didn't understand much from your post as it was not clear to me. May be if you can explain in simple terms or if anyone else can, that will be great. No offence meant but I just would like to tell you this because you can save your time by writing sentences that are simpler and easy-to-understand as it can help people like me who are willing to learn new things here from experts like you. Thanks.
