hi sorry if i sound like a noob but am learning seo and seen that all ppl recommend article and dir submissions as a start to get one way links. My question is.. Is it really helpful in getting higher SERPs and traffic with correct usage of anchors in the resource box or titles? _____________________________________ kool
Well. In article directories, u are basically getting anchor text. In regular directories, your site is being classified as to what it really relates to. So I think regular directories are a better bet. I mean now we have blogs, which are filled with textual content and anchors. And also, if u look on googles help, they encourage you to submit your site to good directories and mention dmoz and yahoo directory.
Yes these are usefull for getting free one way links * though its quality which matters more * .. though dont expect much traffic from regular general directories but these help in getting links * but one should go for quality and should avoid linkfarms * .. Correct me If I am Wrong
