How to submit web site into directories? luxs(cold) guide

1. Why it is important to submit website in directories?
- Direct traffic. Some directories can deliver very good targeted traffic.
- Directory links can improve SERP for the front page by anchor text used for directory submitting (title).
- All directory links can increase site PR up to 4.
- Weight from main page of web site will be redistributed within all pages => improve SERP of internal pages.
2. Which directories are suitable?
- At the beginning of website life, all directories should be free and without reciprocal links.
- For newbie website directories should be from the same language or the same region. English website into English directories etc.
- Mature web sites will have a lot of benefits from submission into international directories.
- Directories should make direct link to your website.
- Most preferable are niche directories.
- Should I register my website in new directories with low PR? Yes! This make your link profile more natural with a lot of weak links. This is unusual when the new site have only links from strong websites.

3. How to submit website?

- How many different titles and descriptions I should use for substituting? The answer is very simple – unique title and web site description for each new directory. This will allow you to avoid link duplications.
- Should I make reciprocal links? If directory is very important for you – then yes, but do not do more than 5-10 reciprocal links from your web site in total. This is very bad for your ranking.
- Some directories check reciprocal links only once during submitting – for these directories you can create special page, but do not forget to delete it after submission. This operation required special scripts.
- Should I pay to directory owners for accepting? Only for very strong, well known directories.
- What should I do for suspicious websites (farma, adult etc)? In many directories moderators do check website description but do not check website itself. So, try to make nice description and title. If you want to use bad keywords like viagra or cialis, you can do trick by hiding these words in more long words. For example “socialist party”.

Thanks for this information

 

wow, very useful. Thanks!

 

Useful information. Tnx

 

WOW! What a load of manure that was! LOL!!

 

I don't think so, even yahoo directory and dmoz will not bring your good traffic.

 

I receive one visit in 10,000 from directories - they're no good for traffic IMO

 

Here is an example of some directories which produce very good traffic (about 30%) for the brewery website.
http://www.quaffale.org.uk/php/brewery_links.php
http://www.ratebeer.com/
http://www.sheffieldcamra.co.uk/links.htm

For other niches some directories can produce good traffic as well.

 

thank you for this information

 

No special scripts required to cheat directories which check reciprocal only once...HEY!, cheating directory owners isn't the correct way to submit your website.

Good trick!

Search directories which accept your topic, why do you want to be included anywhere? Howewer, "directory" moderators who don't check websites probably are "link farm" moderators... so, you are recommending submit to link farms...

 

thanks for showing us the way for how to submit

 

Thanks for sharing.

 

You are joking right, 2 of the above are crappy links pages.

Yes, they looks crappy and quaffale is not good as two other one, but ratebeer and sheffieldcamra - these two sites are very well known even from offline articles in local and national-wide papers and magazines and despite bad structure - they provide very good traffic.

From my opinion "this cheating" is as good as directory promise for "life long links" which can be changed in half or one year. Good directories either do not required reciprocal links, or charge significant money.

No. this is not link farms.
