What are the main benefits of Directory Submissions?
Doing manual directory submission will benefit your website in a number of different ways. First, it enables your website to be found by the search engines. Yahoo, Google and other search engines send out ‘spiders’ or ‘crawlers’ who have the task of searching the internet looking for new sites, by crawling through the links from each site. These ‘spiders’ search web directories and if your new site is listed on them the spiders are sure to find them via the links.
To achieve a higher ranking in the search engines, listing with web seo-friendly directory sites will give you permanent and valuable one-way links. Links can also be exchanged between sites and these are known as two-way links. However there is nothing more valuable than a one-way link provided by a directory. The more one-way links you have from quality web directory sites will help towards raising your ranking in the search engines and thus your visibility.
As the titles you submit when registering for the directory are used as links to your site, you should submit titles that contain your specific keywords or key phrases. This will mean that every directory link you receive will contain relevant text and it will assist search engines in categorizing your site so they can rank it in a higher position.
As you submit your website to various directories, you will realize that most are free of charge. For this reason alone, it is worth submitting your website to as many web directory sites as you can.
