Directory Submission
What is the idea behind directory submission? Print E-mail

We have been strongly advised against the directory submission system. The reasons are mainly linked to the lack of effectiveness of such system (some of the directories you suggest have an even lower page rank than ours- 5/10) and the possibility it would actually ‘backfire’ if Google decided to ‘penalise’ those kind of practices. We would be much more interested in a service that would entail 10 customised and qualitative entries in 10 very visible thematic directories where it is relevant for us to be advertised. Would that be a possibility?

The foremost reason for submitting to directories is not for your site to be listed there among other relevant websites. The primary reason for directories is to be listed MANY places, so that many big sites link to you. This increases your pagerank and gives you more traffic. So why not choose the ten strong entries, and also 90 less strong one? This is what we normally do with good result. We suggest many instead of few (even very strong) directories. Your advantage with WebDialogue is that we have cheap outsourced manpower that does the time consuming submission for you.

 
Would we get a full report as to how the directory submission has been carried out? Print E-mail

Yes, we will give you full reporting on this. And I confirm that it is being done manually in order to optimise your categorisation. That's why it's so time consuming, and so we outsource it to our Indian partner. There will be some text approvals for you to confirm, so that we have your company registered in the right way.

What is a directory? Print E-mail

A directory is similar to a search engine in the sense that it too indexes websites. Directories are divided into various categories and sub-categories. Some directories charge a fee for reviewing a website, while others charge a fee for the inclusion of the website.
 
Why is it important to submit the site to directories? Print E-mail

If you get a link from a directory it is followed, and therefore the older the directory is and the more popular the directory the more valuable the link is back to your site. If you’re looking for a quick fix, short-term solution to increase your SEO rankings this is not it. Submitting to directories is a long term SEO strategy that takes time to gain quality link juice.

There are both paid and free directories. There are also very niche directories that can be extremely relevant to your product or services that will help generate quality traffic to your site. Overall, it’s better to have fewer links from the niche directories than a ton of links from general non-niche directories.
