Let’s begin.
What is Directory Submission?
Directory submission is the practice of submitting your website’s URL along with its details on a web directory, under a specific category. In layman’s term, it’s sending your website to another website. Doing this helps you enhance your website’s link building, thus, optimise your website.
Once you’re going to submit your website’s information on a website directory listing, there’ll be specific categories. There, you can choose the category that fits your site. For example, your site is Construction related, therefore, you need to submit it under the construction category. If there’s no specific category for your site, you can choose the category that is closest to it.
Here are the 3 types of Directory Submissions:
-
- Free (regular) Web Listing: Yes, there’s a FREE directory submission site, however, we cannot guarantee you that your site will be approved immediately, and this takes time.
-
- Reciprocal Regular Web Listing: In this type of directory submission, your link will only be approved by the directory admin if, a reciprocal link is submitted to your site when your Directory Link is activated. THIS IS OFTEN BOGUS. So stay away from these types of directories.
- Paid (featured) Web Listing: This type is self-explanatory. You pay when you submit your link and it will be approved in a few moments or within 24 hours. Some sites have a yearly or lifetime offer. This type of directory submission can help you get backlinks.
How important is Directory Submission in SEO?
Directory submission is the basic aspect of doing search engine optimisation, therefore, it’s as important as the other strategies.
Using Directory submission helps your site attract enough traffic and high-quality no-follow backlinks. By building good quality authority backlinks, it helps increase your page’s rank. This is perfect for those who just started in adding blogs to their website.
By submitting your page’s URL to website directories, you can easily spread information about your site, thus, it enhances your rankings, which by the way helps your website become more known to people.
After the above things have been said, the question now is…
“How do you do it?”
