Directories and Search engines

    Hello!

    Currently my site homepage targets the keyword "free ipod touch" and other "free ipod" keywords.

    To do this I've submitted to directories using the appropriate keywords and submitted my homepage URL.

    I want to expand to advertising for free xbox 360s and free sim cards etc.

    I will need a new page to aim specifically at each keyword. Thing is, the process is almost the same so the content will be fairly similar to the homepage except instead of free ipod there will be free xbox 360. What kind of impact will this have?

    Also, having already submitted to directories with the homepage, can I still submit but using another URL from same domain?

    Please take a moment to look at my site, http://www.freeipodsetc.co.uk

    Cheers, much appreciated.

    I would suggest to use slightly different content for the page you are willing to create.

    Normally any respectable directory should not accept you to submit separate deeplinks unless specified in their TOS. Unfortunatelly there are only a few quality free directories and all the rest might accept your submission.

    I've made a bet with one friend last summer and I have submited the same homepage URL in the same directory, the same category for 8 times in one month and the poor directory owner accepted my site 8 times (bloody looser) When I've finished my bet I had to email him to tell what's going on to delete 7 of the listings.

    If you can afford to spend some money on directory listings I would suggest to go for paid submissions. Most of the quality paid directories have the so called "deeplinks mod" installed and this would allow you to submit your homepage and another 3 - 5 deeplinks at once.

    What else would you suggest?

    I'm already highly ranked for a few keywords.
