    There are some online jobs about directory submission in several sites. I am interested to do such. One of my friend said it is very easy. But I don't know the basic concept of "Directory submission" and what are it's advantages? I perform the task of Angela Paul back link profile creation jobs. But know nothing about directory submission work. Pl. guide me from the start.

    as such there is very less advantage through dir submission but if you are targeting high pr dir then it will help your site.

    Directory submission also helps to generate traffic but it is more in the PR aspects because almost of the directory list have high PR. It is also need in the SEO process so that you can have quality backlinks. Usually directory submission takes time before they put your site in the directory list.

    Directories are used mainly for SEO, depending on the directory traffic could be a factor, but most likely it isn't the case.

    Getting a link to sites counts as a bank link which gets the search engines to crawl the sites you submitted.

    When you submit a site to directories, there are some factors and varies from one directory to another:

    Free directories:
    The Title of the site
    Most submitters tend to test the Admin of the directory by stuffing it with keywords, thus resulting in denial of approval.

    Site URL
    Most will want you to submit the main URL, http://www.example.com/ but not http://www.example.com/anotherpage.html

    Descriptions
    Again, most submitters will stuff it with keywords and it just result in denial of approval.

    Category placement
    Did you place it in the proper category?

    Reciprocating
    Though it is usually an option, but when a submitter adds a reciprocal, the admin will go out of his way to edit and approve the site (depending on where the reciprocal link is place on the site)

    Paid Directories:
    When submitting to Paid directories, there are some flexibility and that the admin will try to edit as much information to the sites, Title, Description, keywords etc,. and will generally allow a sub pages and can be place in the Top category, example: Computers (depends on how populated this category and on the Admin), rather than Computers/Software/Opensource/php/scripting.

    One of the best tool to do manual submission is this plugin for Firefox https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/673
