Submit Your Site To Web Directories For Traffic And SEO
Some people love them, some people hate them, but, submitting your site to web directories can bring your site traffic, and help your sites SEO.
Submitting your site to directories is a time consuming job. There are thousands of directories where you can submit your site, and it would take forever to submit to them all.
Therefore you should only choose established directories, with good page rank and good traffic. Established high page rank directories, are well respected by Google, so getting your site listed there will get your site more Google respect, and higher listings within Google search results.
When submitting, pick the most appropriate category for your site. Google loves relevant links, so this is important. Use a good comprehensive keyword rich description for your site. This will help search engines determine the relevancy of your listing. If you write a good description, you will also have a better chance of getting your site approved, in the case of free directory submissions.
Paid directory submissions are also very good for SEO. Google gives more weight to paid directory submissions, as they are less likely to contain the spam that some of the free directories tend to get. A paid listing on a good directory such as Dirsensei Web directory is worth 20 or 30 free listings in my opinion.
The primary purpose of Dirsensei is to list the best quality family friendly websites available, and their directory is made available to users of all ages. Though they are a premium paid directory, they also welcome non commercial sites and list them accordingly. They prefer to list informative sites, and they are all nicely categorized. They also have a latest links page where you can view the latest sites that have been added to the directory.
If you have the funds available, then paid directories are the way to go, to benefit your SEO and generate the most traffic for your site. Lots of free directories get very little traffic, and have little or no page rank. When you compare those to Dirsensei with a page rank 5, and around 3000 visitors per day, you can see the benefits of a paid directory listing.
There is also the time factor to consider when submitting to directories, you may have to submit to 30 free directories, in order to get the same benefit to your site, that one paid listing may bring.
So whether you decide to go for paid, or free directory submissions, always be sure to spend time on your title and your description, to ensure the most successful outcome of your submission, for traffic and for SEO.
