In Which Way For You To Do Web Directory Submission and What It Means

Applying to article submission sites is one of the most straightforward ways to build links to your websites, however such a practice is not without problems, there is a prevalence of small article directories and submission site operators who mainly exist to swindle you. For instance a website operator may constantly launch new web directories, focusing all the PageRank they have on the new ones, to make it look like an attractive submission, then eventually they may get restricted for manipulating Page Rank etc, or submissions dwindle, and they open a new one, forsaking the old one. Meaning, that nice listing you paid for, quickly evaporates. Directories alone also cannot be your only link building endeavor, you need other types of links as well, that being said, here three of the most important and powerful world-wide-web directories on the web: ODP, the poorly managed free list. It can take several months or years to get in, and then a competitor who is a listing editor can just remove your listing or not approve it to begin with. There have been predicaments where even higher up ODP editors (so-called meta editors) were corrupt in this way. Still, every new site should be submitted. You just cannot count on it. Yahoo, the recognized pay directory site, has vastly dropped in importance due to Yahoos own decisions to devalue and de-emphasize their directory in their search results and throughout their site. Meaning less and less traffic browses their website directory than what used to. They also charge a yearly fee, not a one-time fee, of $300 a year. So, in order to submit to them you need make sure you will earn at least $300 a year directly off the traffic & link benefits you gain from the submission site listing. In general I consider listings for sites whom I think can be rewarded with an increase of at least $10 a day through higher traffic. I know, an actual positive return on investment would be around $1 a day, but there are other methods for raising traffic than a Yahoo submission, that would give a much better return on your investment, so the gains in my mind have to be substantial to justify it. BOTW, what I consider the very last of the popular tier directories, has the benefit of being very similar to Yahoo, but better in that they have one time fee submission options. With a one time fee submission you have 5 years, 10 years, to make up the cost, it is much easier to justify than Yahoos yearly fee (Best of the Web also has a yearly fee option). BOTW has been around nearly as long as Yahoo as well, and throughout the website directory PRs are very close. They have less traffic than Yahoo of course, but they are much cheaper too. Generating 1 way backlinks is as much about your blogs status as your sites rankings, and I think being discriminating in your submissions is a good thing and will help make sure you do not over do things and trip any present or future filter or penalty. Another really good place to submit your website is my own little website directory (requires a recriprocal link): Submit Your Site.
