Web Directory Submission: Another hit in SEO
One of the effective strategies in SEO or otherwise known as Search Engine Optimization is submitting to Web Directories. A friend asked me, how am I going to start submitting to these directories? And where am I going to look for it? A SEO enthusiast can start first in choosing good quality directories. It can be a good start. Of course, you can look for these directories in Google, and Yahoo. Two of the top Web Directories I know are DMOZ and BOTW. There is also another business web directory which is also good, it’s Bussiness.com.
After searching for SEO friendly web directory the next step is to start submitting your blog or website to them. But wait! Before you submit make sure that your site is live and no errors in the pages. And also before submitting, you may try to list down all the details a directory might need from you such as Link, and Description of your site or blog. I suggest that you don’t go for a reciprocal linking. There are web directories that require reciprocal linking. In SEO, two or three way linking is bad. Go for one way linking. Good practice makes good business!
If things are ready you may now start submitting. But make sure to have a file wherein you have all the list of web directories. Tip: “Don’t forget to back up files”. Upon submission, be sure to select the relevant category to your blog. Relevant topics and relevant keywords can attract search engines especially Google and Yahoo.
In SEO, you don’t have to be expert you just have to be patient and hard working. Trends in technology nowadays, there a lot of ways and strategies to be on top of search engines, but always put in mind that whether you use black hat SEO strategy it will always safer to use good SEO practice. Web Directory submission is one of the good practice. You only have to be patient and eager to submit your blog or website to these directories. Good luck in your SEO career!
