Promote Your Site Directly

Set your site on the right trajectory by submitting it to every directory!

Webmastersacross the globe are involved in a race to the top of the search enginelistings. Everyone has their own set of racing techniques that theyswear by, some work well, some not so. However, one thing is certain;if you want to get to the top of the rankings you need inbound links toyour site. But how do you get inbound links? Well, you could buy them.That gets pretty expensive. For many keywords the top ranking siteshave hundreds if not thousands of inbound links, so unless you have aMEGA promotion budget then you will have to find another way. Writingarticles and submitting them to resource sites (such as those listedat...Info-sales) is another way to getmany inbound links. However, not everyone is an aspiring modern dayShakespeare and not everyone has the time to research, write and thensubmit articles. Okay, so you don't have Bill Gates' bank balance andtherefore cannot buy all the links you need. You lack either theexpertise or the time to write articles. What can you do? Don't panic!The secret lies in two words, music to your ears and the answer to yourinbound links dilemma... Directory submission.

"Set yourself daily targets..."

Inthe race to the top of the search engine rankings directory submissionhas to be the isotonic sports drink. Submitting your site todirectories will boost its performance immensely. There are hundreds ofhigh quality free directories available. This means that your walletwill be untouched by the process. Earlier, we discarded the idea ofarticle submission as too time consuming, doesn't directory submissiontake time too? Yes. Not much but it does take time. The most timeconsuming job would be finding the right directories to submit to,however, conveniently other kindly webmasters have already done thisfor you. A number of quality free directory lists exist on the internetbut I would recommend (Info-sales). That sitelists the directories alphabetically, this means that if you're toobusy to submit to all the directories at once then you can take it acouple of letters at a time. Set yourself daily targets i.e. today Iwill submit my site to the directories under A, B and C and tomorrow Iwill do D, E and F. This way you will get your site listed on everydirectory on the list in no time at all. Alongside each listing is ameasure of the popularity of the directory (Google Page Rank), thismeans that if you are short of time you can select the more highlyranked directories to submit to first.

"...there is clear evidence that directory submission works."

Directorysubmission is a well established and often overlooked search engineoptimisation strategy. Unlike many new techniques travelling along thewebmaster grapevine, there is clear evidence that directory submissionworks. Before submiting to free directories Info-sales had a google page rank of exactly zero. Now, after submission, just onepage rank update later, the same site is at google page rank 4. This isnot a unique case. Right, so you're convinced of the need to submityour site but want some more tips and tricks to help you along the way.Firstly, many directories require an email address to allow them toverify your listing, I would strongly recommend that you use a freeemail address rather than a company one. Gaining inbound links isimportant but there is no need to clutter your inbox in the process.Secondly, when entering your website url, unless the form specificallyinstructs you not to, remember to include the 'http://'. This isimportant because many systems create your listing automatically andwithout the http:// your link may not work, being treated as a page ofthe site you have submitted to rather than a link to an external site.My final tip to set you on the right trajectory for your race to thetop of the search engine rankings is to enter an accurate, keyword richbut not overtly promotional site description. If you try to use thedescription as an advert, many free directories will reject yoursubmission. However, if you keep your description accurate and keywordrich it will mean your listing gets accepted and search engines will beable to index your site more accurately.

So how do you get inbound links without spending loads of money and time? Directory submission. Simple as that.

All that is left for me to do is to wish you good luck with your site and all future endeavours.
