Why Submit To Web Directories?

Back when the search engines started tracking link popularity as part of their ranking algorithms, they were looking for links that pointed to websites and counted them as votes for that website. When people found out that having links pointing to your website was important they started doing reciprocal link exchanges. Because link popularity could now be manufactured, the search engines gave different amount of weight to links depending on what type they were.

One way links seemed to be more powerful because that most likely meant that one website was linking to another because they wanted the visitors to their site to know about the website they were linking to. It was a unbiased "vote" for that website. There is debate on whether one way text links are more important now than reciprocal links but in my opinion, I would say they are more important to search engines.

A legitimate way to help build your one way link popularity is through directory submissions. The key to remember when it comes to building your link popularity through directory submissions, is to always try to get links from related websites. Try to follow the theme of your website and submit to directories whose users would gain something from following that link and visiting your website. When submitting to web directories make sure you choose the most relevant category for your website.

Web directories become an important part of the overall link building mix, especially when you submit to directories that offer a one way link. Whether you are submitting to free or paid web directories, every little bit helps.

What About Directory Submission Software?

There are many versions of automated directory submission software out there. Using directory submission software can make the submission process faster, but there are some disadvantages in doing this. For example, some web directories can track if submission software was used when someone submits to their directory and they will not accept the submission because they have in their terms not to use automated software like that. Also, doing submissions that quickly will not appear as natural to search engines when they see hundreds of new links at once. If you feel like you really want to speed up the process then we recommend paying a directory submission service to help you. They will do directory submissions by hand to as many directories as you want.
