I have a list of directories and sites I want to link our site to, however we are updating the website and is due to go live this week. Should I wait to add the website to directories, or will there be a delay so I should do it before the new site goes live. Main problem being any good directories that look at content, the old site is rubbish and the new is vastly improved
I think you should wait a little before to make your site live. Once it is done you can begin submission.
by live I mean we have an existing site and we have designed a new site and they will be switched over
If you are going to update website design only, so you can begin website submission right now. If you are going to update website structure or add important information to a website, then it is better to wait.
At the begining of the life of a site don't put too much link (automatic linking to zillions of sites) because you risk the sandbox. But you have to link manually all the time and contantly, that I do not do unfortunately!
Its a lot of content being less changed, more added to, to make the site more relevant, so I will wait then start adding the links
Submit your site to directories after it goes live. Under construction site may be rejected by most directory editors.
well if your domain is going to be the same then your question is valid Or else dear friend wait until its live or moved to new domain or so
Submission should begin now as 3D said, if you're only changing your design and using the same domain, its not going make a difference if you do it now or later.
