FREE website directories - Learn the benifits here, Are you paying for costly Directory services for your sites

By: Berniece Tyrell

STOP - read this before you pay for any diretory submissions

Submitting your website to the several online directories is an effective part of any Link Popularity campaign. While your traffic from many directories may be minor or irrelevant, applicable incoming links to your website will help in your general search engine link popularity.

Paying for your directory submission can be a magnificent waste of money. You can get just as good a result from submitting to free directories. Personally, I wouldn't advise website owners pay for what anyone can get free elsewhere.

The best directories to submit your site to are Search Engine Friendly directories (those that actually have your site URL listed at some point, rather than outlinks that are simply code). Some will ask for a reciprocal link, some will not. One list of non-reciprocal directories is at http://www.Pimp-Url.com . Opinion at the moment is suggesting that non-reciprocal or one-way links are better, although any relevant link is useful. Directories that do not encode outgoing links will help your website's Search Engine Ranking.

Most directories will have many categories website owners can submit your site to. Decide on the one that is most appropriate, preferably a keyword that you are aiming for high search engine ranking in, and try to submit to the identical or similar category in every directory, at least for your main page. This will increase the ranking of your site relating to the keyword chosen.

Submit to different categories as long as your website is suitable to those categories. This will increase the number of incoming links to your website. Writing the title for your website is very powerful. Try to include a keyword you are aiming for ranking in the title, but make the use of it appropriate. Describe your website in a way that will attract visitors. The length of your description will vary from directory to directory, but most will be under two hunderd and fifty characters. Some will allow up to one thousand characters, and in those cases write the most all-embracing description of your site and its features that you can. It is a good idea to write several descriptions of different lengths, say from under 50 characters for a brief overview, to around 150 characters for a fuller description, up to two hunderd and fifty characters for a yet more expansive listing, and finally a full description as previously mentioned for over two hunderd and fifty characters. Keep your listing pertinent to your website, insert keywords where suitable and appropriate, but do not just submit a keyword listing, as most directories will reject your submission. Save all your descriptions in a text file, and just copy & paste into the descriptions boxes when needed rather than typing the same descriptions out again and again.

Again, as with the description cited above, the amount of keywords folks can use will vary from directory to directory. Some will not give the option, some will allow people numbers of keywords, whilst others go by numbers of characters. Make a list of all relevant keywords for your site, from most powerful to least, and basically keep adding keywords until either people get to the bottom of your list (unlikely unless your list is really short) or people run out allowed characters/keywords. Check what keywords your competitors are going for if folks need motivation. This can often be accomplished by viewing the source of a web page and checking the META tags. Again, save your keywords to a text file.

Make sure also folks add your URL's to all of these directory sites
