A Guide to Google Directory Submission

Websites are promoted in various ways including link exchanges

, article submissions and traffic exchanges. However the most recent and most popular method by which people are promoting websites is Google directory submission. Before going into further details about the various benefits offered by directory submission you should have a clear idea of what directory submission is.

When a website is submitted to a directory, it means that the website will be added to the listings of the directory provided it fulfils certain criteria. To explain it in simpler words, we can say that the concept of a website being listed in a directory is very similar to a phone number being listed in the yellow pages. A directory is a larger, computerized version of the yellow pages and instead of listing phone numbers, directories list websites. If you submit your website to one or more directories customers can much easily locate your website in the internet. Similarly to the yellow pages, directories organize the information present into different categories and sub categories, so that they can be found very easily.

When you use Google directory submission, your website's contents will be carefully checked at first. Once the directory administrator decides that the content is good enough for the directory, it will be placed in the listings. A link will be placed from the directory to your website so that your customers can directly click on the link and visit your website.

You can either do the directory submission on your own or you can hire a company offering Google directory submission services to do the job for you. The submission process can either be manual or automated. The process of automated submission is very fast and is done using different kinds of software. On the other hand manual submission takes more time and effort but yields much better results. Most Google directory submission firms start by using automated methods to make the submission process faster. Later, they check and see whether any high ranking directory has been missed. In case they find that they have indeed missed a major directory then the website is submitted using manual techniques. By using a combination of manual and automated techniques submission firms make sure that your website is listed in all major directories and you get a lot of good quality traffic to your website. The effectiveness of directory submission has made it the most important tool for search engine optimization.

Different directories have different rules regarding website content, keywords etc. If you do not follow these rules carefully, there is a high chance that your submission may be rejected by the directory administrator. In worse case scenario they may completely refuse to list your website in their directory. In such situations it is best to hire the services of a Google Directory Submission firm as they will know the various rules and regulations followed by different directories. With their knowledge and experience they can properly manage the content of your website and ask you to make the necessary changes so that your submission is accepted immediately.
