A web direc­tory pro­vides refer­ral traf­fic to your site and many web­mas­ters around the world use these direc­to­ries to attract traf­fic to their sites as many direc­to­ries offer free sub­mis­sion. Many direc­to­ries also offer paid sub­mis­sions with a fea­tured link.Whenever you sub­mit your web site to a direc­tory there are 2 ben­e­fits that you should be aware of

1. These direc­to­ries can send you free traf­fic. As such, these direc­to­ries are a very eco­nom­i­cal way in which you can obtain vis­i­tors to your web site.
2. Search Engines are con­tin­u­ally using their spi­ders to look for new sites. When­ever a Search Engine finds a list of links on another site it will update their data­base with the new site that it found. This will then increase your traf­fic and one way links.
Really a nice post.
