Directories – A Way of Link Building !

    A webmaster always dreams that his site should rank high on Search Engines so that he can get as many natural visitors through search engines as possible. Also wants his site to get high Google Page Rank which shows the reputation of a site according to Google.

    But it’s not an easy task. You have to do a lot of work – so called Search Engine Optimization – to get better Search Engine Ranking Positions (SERPs).

    Search Engine Optimization (SEO) tactics include Off-page and On-Page optimization.
    On-Page Optimization includes some of the ways like:

    1. Creating Meta - Tags
    2. Writing Unique Content
    3. Keyword optimization
    4. Image Alt Tags
    5. Using header tags (H1, H2), bold and italic keywords.

    SEO can be used for directories, blogs, and any other sites though ;)

    The article is basic, but I guess that was your purpose.

    Some other on-page SEO factors:

    Keyword in domain.
    Domain age.
    Keyword orders.
    Keyphrases.
    Keyword density.
    Frequency of page update.
    Frequency of adding a new page.

    Off-page SEO:

    Creating a good backlink profile via obtaining backlinks.

    Quality backlinks -
    Relevancy.
    Backlinks from Authoritative site.
    Multiple anchor texts.

    Getting natural backlinks via link bait.

    .... but investing for your site could be more important in off-SEO :D

    How can domain age and keyword orders work as On-Page SEO ?

    also, keyword density is appropriate to limited %..

    I think the article focuses on "directories - A way of link building" and not on on-page or Off-page SEO.

    In general, G will pick up keywords no matter how you place. It's true G is becoming smarter, so this factor will be even weaker soon. (it's already minor anyway)

    Keyword in domain is minor as well as all others, and ultimately on-page SEO is simply weak factors compared to off-page SEO.

    But keywords in domain or ULRs still work ;) I know a specific case you can rank high with that - but this is depending on how competitive your niche is as well ;)

    What if there is a script that's very SEO friendly, take a look at the features here.

    There are two versions available, both free version and paid version..

    My buddy, jhnrang uses the php Lynx and is happy with all the features.

    SE friendly is important but you know G pretty much crawl all sorts of URLs. It's in webmaster's guideline page.

    I have one with joomla without sef feature, but G still gives it PR ;)

    SE friendly factor is good, but not in the top list I guess. Ultimately, I wouldn't worry about ANY on-page SEO at all if I can get all quality backlinks.

    There are many companies with non-SE friendly sites, ranked high in the SERP. They probably don't even know what SEO is :D But they have strong business network and relationships to create natural backlinks.
