Do directories help your rank

Hi

Do submitting your url to directories help with your ranking in search engine.

thank you

 

Yes, if you submit in the relevant category and use correct titles. No if you put your dating site in the real estate category with the title "Free Pictures for you".

 

yes obviously Directory Submission can improved your SERPS.

 

Yes they do, thats why i carry on using them.

 

Directory submission is an effective tool to get extra backlinks and as pointed out - placing them in correct category helps to get PR juice flowing in your direction.

In fact, domain appraisal tools look for link in popular paid directories such as yahoo or in free directory such as dmoz to rate your domains / websites value.

Thx

 

Repeating for the 150th million time; Yes it does, provided its done properly.

 

Yes, if you submit your site link in directories, it will beneficial for your website

 

Well...yes. That's one reason people use them.

 

Yes it does, but you have to choose the most appropriate category for your site. And do not repeat your title or description.

 

If thats the case, i think im still doing the right thing, i even submitting to directories despite some rumors that it was not effective like before.. i hope guys that you are right... i am now going to build my list of directories for future use..

 

I have about 100 backlinks from different directories. And you know what ?
I haven't seen any impact on search rankings

 

Yes, Directory Submission is one of the Fantastic way to get good Ranking in Search Engines.

 

i am surprise that many ppl say yes. but for me it is a no no...

 

Yeahh... It will help your SEO...
Backlink from related site can boost your SEO. . . !

 

simple answer.. yep!

 

Leaves one to wonder just how much weight is actually given to links designed to do nothing more than manipulate search engine results.

Think about it.

 

I have! You did not see any impact when it comes to SERPS probably because of your niche/ Web site/ content update history and other factors that have to do more with your site and your promotional strategy...Else, it all depends on the directories you've submitted your site to! If you used a directory submission service that pushed your link into a few dozens of ( mostly free) directories with little to no editorial standards and that let webmasters dive into a pool of stuffed keywords, you cant really expect any positive outcome

 

So we can say from above discussion that directory submission will be fruitful if we

Submit site to relevant Category
With correct titles
Without repeating title
Without repeating description.

Thanks

 

Yes it does, the nay-sayers don't have any evidence that it doesn't.

 

I am using the list provided by directory critic. Submitted to top 100 sites listed.
I except these directories to be good. So many people trust directory critic.
AND
I have stopped directory submissions now
