when submitting free links, what do you put as site name? do you put your sites name or maybe 3 words what your site is about? also, where it says put your name, i have heard you can put your sites name there? do you put your sites name there or do you just put your actual name? also, how does submitting links to directories help your site? how does it improve it? or whats it do? one last question!!!!- about how many should you submit your site to a day? whats the average a day you should submit your site to?
What do you mean by site name? If you mean title, many directories only take official business name. some others like ciqy stick to URL as title and others would even allow keywords. If you mean submitter name, I use my own name because I don't like getting mails for 'mike or cathy' Submitting to directory helps by getting you backlinks with required anchor text (when allowed). You can submit as many as you want. 100-200 won't hurt.
If you submit to 10 directories doesn't mean that you are going to get 10 backlinks, not all pages in directories are indexed by google.
so where it says title: put title of blog? or like a 3 or 4 word that describes or tells what your site is about? i have been just putting my site title. and for name: i put real name ps: do you submit your url like this: http:// www OR http:// and without www?
