Directory Submissions

Directory submissions are currently one of the best and most cost effective ways to promote your website.

Benefits of directory submissions:

• Provides a permanent one way link
• No reciprocal link required
• Helps to get your site indexed faster by search engines
• One way links boost your "link popularity" and search engine rankings
• Provides highly targeted, FREE traffic
• FREE to submit to

One way links are extremely important in terms of link popularity and ranking well on Google. Google really looks for sites to have high quality one way links. If you don't have them, chances are, you won't rank well on Google.

The difficulties with directory submissions:

• Extremely time consuming
• Difficult to find and select the correct categories
• Difficult to prepare a good title and description that will get accepted
• Submitting your site to directory after directory is one of the most tedious and monotonous things you'll do.

We have streamlined our method of directory submissions to provide you with high quality results:

• Cost effective - Spend your valuable time making your site better instead of submitting to directories.
• Correct - We know how to best submit to directories to get your listing approved as quickly as possible. After our submission, we'll usually have some confirmed links after just 48 hours.
• The Best Directories - We know the best directories to submit your site to, including niche and specialty directories that cater to your target market. We don't waste time on spammy, scammy or low quality directories. We know which ones will provide you with quality links.
• DMOZ - This is the single most important free directory to submit to. Ever used the Google Directory? Well, that's DMOZ! Our first submission is to DMOZ, and we take the time to select the right category and craft a great title and description to maximize your chances of getting listed. Submit the wrong way and your submission will be deleted without notice. We make sure you are submitted correctly and within the editorial guidelines of the proper category.
• Experience - We have staff that are currently editors of categories at DMOZ, JoeAnt, GoGuides and other directories. This is a huge advantage! We know what gets approved and what gets deleted and can submit right the first time.
  We submit only to search engine friendly directories, to make sure you get maximum benefit from every submission and link. We submit to the highest possible PR directories, usually ranging from PR3 and higher. Though we will also submit to lower PR directories for monthly submission packages.

There are several types of submissions that we offer:

SEO Friendly Directory Submissions

These directories are all verified as search engine friendly, meaning that your link will be properly indexed on them and they will count as a backlink to your site in search engines. They are also free to submit to and do not ever require a reciprocal link or have any other detrimental requirements.

Niche Directory Submissions

Niche directories are simply directories that only accept certain types of websites. The advantage of submitting to niche directories is that the traffic to these directories is highly targeted, so while they may not be as popular as Yahoo or another directory, they will bring you higher quality, highly targeted traffic and provide a strongly related link to your site in search engines. An example of a niche directory is Best Pet Directory, which obviously, is for pet related websites only. Another example of a niche directory is Diet Directory, a directory which only accepts diet related websites. There are also local and regional directories specifically for sites that cater to certain areas.

Paid Directory Submissions

Another important part of proper directory submission is paid directory submissions. There are many hundreds of high PR, authority and niche directories that accept only paid submissions. These include the grandaddy of directories, Yahoo Directory, Business.com and other smaller general and niche directories with a higher PR. These submissions are especially important for a new site or a site in a competitive niche. If your competitors are listed on the Yahoo Directory, then it's a good link for you to have. These paid directories will often yield more traffic than other directories, because they have a budget for promotion due to their fees or are owned by a larger company which can pay for advertising. Fees for these submissions range from just a few dollars for a permanent link, to $299 for a 1 year listing.

Pricing of our directory submissions varies widely, depending on your needs, but starts at just $29 for a standard submission package of 50 submissions including DMOZ, higher PR SEO friendly general directories and a selection of niche directories appropriate to your website. We also offer packs of standard submissions to 25, 50, 100, 250 directories as well as monthly submission packages with 30, 40 or 60 submissions included.

We recommend our standard package for most websites, however, please take advantage of our free quote request form to get customized recommendations for your website.
