subject: Directory Submission- Have The Best Titles And Descriptions [print this page] You should be aware of how to write an appropriate title for your submission, as well have the proper description. If both of these are written properly, you can and will be successful with your directory submissions. The first thing that you want to concern yourself with is creating a title, which is very simple to do, as long as you follow a set of easy guidelines. Ideally, the title that you should provide for the listing is the name of your website. It may be very tempting to use many keywords and generic search phrases in the title, but if you do; its more than likely that your submission will be denied.
Once your articles titles are taken care of, its time to focus on the descriptions for your submissions. Most web directories will require you to have an article description with each article you submit. It should be a brief summary of what its all about, which his somewhat similar to those written on the inside portions of book covers. Since the goal of submitting is to not only attain multiple keywords online, but also have people read the articles; the description that goes with it is very important. This is what readers will see beforehand, so make sure you make them catchy and informative at the same time.
To ensure that this happens, here are key points for you to remember when writing descriptions.
1. As mentioned, the description should be short. The sum total of words and characters has to fit into the space that is allotted for each directory. Keep in mind that it is only a summary, not the article itself.
2. When writing the description, try to take ideas from your opening and closing lines. Since it is the summary of your article, why not take something from the original source.
3. The goal of each description is to give your readers accurate information, as well as an interesting overview of your article. With this said, you want to ensure that you summarize the important points and/or messages that the article contains.
4. In connection with the above tip, you need to make sure that your description depicts the article accurately. Your readers expect to read in the article thats written in the summary. This also applies to the title of the article.
5. Make sure to only write a description that has pieces of information relevant to your article. If you include personal or business-like facts, your article might not be published.
The steps mentioned above are important to keep in mind if you want to have a catchy title and description during directory submission. Although this may sound simple, if done improperly, it can delay your efforts of having articles published.
