Exploring web directories

Posted on 01. Jul, 2009 by admin in Web Directories

Got a new domain? I find that sub­mit­ting to search engines, social net­work sites, blog posts and link direc­to­ries are good for a start the SEO path of get­ting your domain entrenched into the major search engines. You know like Google, Yahoo and the lat­est Live/Microsoft search engine Bing. Note I am start­ing to get some good, not great yet traf­fic for the Bing search engine, which was real sur­pris­ing when I was check­ing one of my web­sites today. Try to sub­mit your web­site domain name to SEO friendly web direc­tory with page rank. The higher the page rank of the web direc­tory that you sub­mit to, the more impor­tance that Google will put on your link from that direc­tory. This is also the case when you have a blog arti­cle done about your web­site the higher the Google page rank the bet­ter google will give more impor­tance to the rank­ing of your web­site. Always check the traf­fic of a web direc­tory, most if not all web direc­to­ries will tell you what their daily traf­fic is, remem­ber the more the mer­rier when it comes to web or link direc­tory traf­fic. A link direc­tory focuses on the link­ing to other web­sites along with cat­e­go­riz­ing the links in the direc­tory. Most web direc­to­ries are cat­e­go­rized by either a key­word or what type of site it is. There are many types of direc­to­ries, the yang and yin of the web direc­to­ries is the Dmoz.org, this is the web direc­tory that is Human edited and Google will base the autho­riza­tion of the web­site from it. If you are not in Dmoz then you are not able to take advan­tage of the bump Google will give you in the search. I have been a Dmoz.org edi­tor in the past, noticed that some sites will never get added. I have some web­sites that were sub­mit­ted 5 or 6 years ago, never added. Other direc­to­ries are bid for posi­tion, free auto­mated sub­mis­sion, ref­er­ences, shop­ping and there is even a Yahoo one. Any­way by sub­mit­ting to link direc­to­ries, you will get the extra link real estate to start your way to good search engine results.
