Hi , Am working in website www.ideamed.in it is Hopiatal management system software, used to maintain the hospital details safely and easily,...Am fresher to work in SEo can any one tell how much directory and bookmark is important to one sites.
I wont disagree to Serena as Directory submission (At least in major ones Dmoz etc) is one of the channels of gaining relevant & valuable back links. Submissions in Bookmarking sites like Mixxx, Digg, Stumble upon can be an added advantage.
Social bookmarking is one of the powerful SEO methods, and it can help to boost up your search engine ranking. Directory submission is also important for your website visibility
Directory submission and Social Bookmarking is a part of building backlinks and getting decent traffic to a website. Beside these there are more ways like article writing, blog commenting, in some cases press releases also and many others as well.
Directory submission is one of the major techniques employed by website owners in enhancing visibility in search engine. and it is good in getting traffic on websites Social Bookmarking Lets you establish a personal link directory online. and it can be used to generate good quality backlinks.
These are the main ways to generate backlinks and asking for the number is not going to work.. It has to be carried out in continuous basis and can't be stopped completely till the site gains a still position..
Many here may have given you a perception that directory submission and bookmarking are great SEO methods. It is great if you use it properly. First of all understand that directory submission and bookmarking works well only if you use with other wide range of SEO methods. And you should also remember to use these methods effectively. Submitting to 10,000 directories of which 90% are junk isnt gonna help you. Submit to quality directories and bookmark it effectively. Then do other methods like article submissions and get some authority links. This is how these techniques can be leveraged. And dont expect over night results. Submitting to 1000 directories doenst mean that your listing is accepted in 1000 directories. Your submission ratio can be as low as 10%.
Think about marketing your website rather than just getting links. Directory submission in niche directories will get some visitors to your site that are actually interested in your software. Social bookmarking, forum posting, article marketing, etc. will also get visitors to your site. In addition, the links will help you in the search engines. Think about places on the internet people who are interested in your software would go and try to get links from them (by offering content on the other persons site or a demo of your software or anything else you can think of). Basically you want to get links that drive traffic and the search engine rankings will follow.
How much/many? Practically unlimited. Submit to as many directory and bookmarking sites that you see. But always remember to choose those authority sites, sites that have good reputation. Quality always comes first.
you need to do 1000 manual directory submission and 500 manual social bookmark i am sure its enough for any new website you will see positive results. Best of luck
Best methods: 1. useful site that has content/product/affiliate program that the visitors will be publishing/buzzing, in this case you have many workers that doing the job for you. (especaly the aff program, it's 2 birds with 1 stone, more income and more linkage as well). 2. buying links from related sites 3. all the other junk: spam comments, forums sigs/profiles, article dirs, free/paid dirs and so forth. Other methods are buying entire sites with good linkage to act as a link resource if you need a link just link from that site to your other sites.
Hello, Social bookmarking and directory submission both works till date. Both gives you back link (if external links are dofollow) and social bookmarking can also help you in start getting hits if content is interesting and good quality. Thanks
Both are the main source to generate back links & Traffic. Directory provides traffic and bookmarking provides hits and back-links for your sites.
