So you’ve decided to market your website? Well in this article we are going to discuss one of the easiest, most effective, and cheapest ways to do this. Directory submission is basically the act of submitting a website to a web directory, but before we get into how to do this properly we need to understand exactly what a web directory is.
Web directories are web sites that provide searchers with links to websites they are looking for. Web directories are totally different than search engines; with a search engine websites are listed by a computer based upon keywords that are contained within specific pages, but with a web directory websites are usually handpicked by a human and listed by category and subcategories.
When submitting your website for consideration into a web directory you are going to want to make sure the quality of your work is second to none. Stuffing your web pages with keywords and links is not going to help you in the least bit, if you do this you have very little chance of getting your website listed in any high pagerank directories.
The best thing to do is choose quality over quantity. The second thing you should do is submit your website to as many directories as possible, even the small ones. It is great to get your website listed in a high pagerank directory like google or yahoo, but if you get your page listed in a bunch of small ones you will also see great results.
One of the more controversial things you can do is use the service of a directory submitter. This person will either manually submit your website to directories or use submission software to spam out the directories until they accept your website.
If you feel that this is the way you would like to go try it; but I do not recommend this method because each directory is different and has a different set of requirements for admission. In addition if your website gets declined it will be considerably harder to get accepted when you submit your website again, so it is best to get it right on your first try. Manual directory submission is the best way to go.
Lastly make sure to write a very truthful and interesting description of your website. Once you have gotten accepted into a directory you want to make sure that your description grabs the attention of searches, in addition listing your homepage first makes more sense than listing one of your other pages because visitors to your website are more likely to go from your home page to other pages than from other pages to your home page.
If you follow these simple rules I am sure you will be very successful in marketing your website. Good Luck!
