In the initial phases of the website, when your website is new and not well promoted. To increase link popularity of website or to generate some incoming links in the initial days, Directory submission s the best way. As there are many online directories which are giving free links to build the link popularity and helps website to be in SERP.

If you are so attentive to the details about quality links, you can get some great quality one way links fro free from niche directories. This help in to increase pages rank of the website, along with visitors. As there are many online directories and all directories many not be good for your website. Just select the good and the relevant directories from other millions of directories.

There are few criteria for proper directory submission to get quality of links from quality and seo friendly online directories. Find below some common criteria to keep in mind while doing directory submission, as good directories do not include these pages:

1. As most of the quality directories do not include site that are under construction. So first build the website completely before you go for directory submission.
2. Do not submit orphan pages or gateway pages, as many good directories do not include these pages.
3. Do not submit the link which contain the affiliate program or generate and sell leads to third party.
4. Some directories not allow deep linking i.e. links to internal pages. Submit main url here.
5. Submit your page under the most relevant category or the webmasters may decline your link.
6. Your link may be decline if your site has duplicate content issues or duplicate site structure alone or if you site is mirror site.
7. Most of the directories do not allow URLs that redirect to another website.
8. Some directories do not allow sites that have broken links.Submit the link with relevant anchor text.

How to Choose a Directory for Submission?

Having presented a list of popular directories, I would now like to talk about choosing the best directory for your site's submission services. Do not think too much about their PageRanks when taking your decision. Rally around these important selection factors instead:

1. Find out if the directory is indexed by the topmost search engines. If it has not been cached by search engines for a long period of time, there is definitely no point in submitting your links on it.
2. Established, popular directories can bring in traffic and also the kind of back links that'll actually foster your site's optimisation process.
3. When you submit your site into categories, make sure that the directory in question offers a unique category structure that helps in better organisation of info. This will help you in locating relevant information in quick time.
4. If a directory uses the 'rel=no follow' attribute for your link, search engines will actually never follow that link to your site. Therefore, such a directory will be of absolutely no help in your optimisation campaign. Even redirects are usually not considered for back links by search engines.
5. Always check the outbound links on the directory's pages. This will give you a good insight into how helpful such a submission would be for your site.
   

Tally these relevant points with the directories chosen by you, and you will have a clearer picture of what will or will not work for your web business.

Why Directory Submissions?

In my last blog, I had talked about the importance of directory submissions, and the way of going about it. Before delving further into this topic, I would first like to discuss the advantages of this optimisation service. Why should a website be submitted into directories in the first place?

When we talk of new sites, this service can be extremely beneficial in getting one-way links for web pages that have zero PageRank. You can easily promote your site on search engines by simply submitting your pages in relevant categories of online directories.

More than anything else, you do not have to spend a single penny on this kind of promotion. Stay away from paid directory submissions and you can save a lot of time and resources, and get free promotion as a bargain. Not just that, you can also add up to your back links counter, which is a major determinant of your success with search engines.

Apart from pleasing search engines, these submissions can get you high-value traffic as per relevant categorisation. At the end of the day, your job is to make way for conversions so that you get desired sales figures.

Make Way for Directory Submissions

Directory submission is, invariably, one of the most effective means of link building. Just place your URL in an online directory, and get a link back to your site. Not just a link, you also have the chance of driving targeted traffic to your website, thus bettering the prospects of your business. For new websites, this is actually the best way of establishing a link building campaign to generate traffic and also boost the optimisation process.

How to choose a directory for submission?
Conduct a search on directories for the keyword(s) that best describes your site. Enlist the first hundred or more directories on the basis of your requirements. It is imperative for you to find out if the directories chosen by you are banned or penalised on search engines. Because, submitting links on such directories will be nothing but a waste of time and resources at your end. One-way links from them will be of absolutely no use to your campaign.

Secondly, scrutinise the directory to find out if it is relevant to your business. Cater to as many free directories as possible, because search engines are becoming increasingly wary of link backs that are paid for. When you have listed down the directory names, try and find out few sites that also allow submission of internal web pages.

Then, decide on categories that best suit your site's requirements. Do not nest your pages too deep into a directory – they should not be more than two clicks away. Also, check the PageRank and outgoing links of such pages. Above all, if the page where you submit your URL is not cached, there is simply no point in getting a link back from it.

The subject of directory submission will be further touched upon in successive blogs.
