Manual or Paid Directory Submissions?
Manual or Paid Directory Submissions?
I’ve recently been looking at some ways to revive some of my inactive blogs and decided that the quickest way to do this is through some paid directory submissions.
Directory listings are a good way to build some back-links to your websites and significantly raise your websites’ search engine ranking. The results won’t be immediate but submitting to directories is a great way to build your web presence and long-term web traffic.
There are a few ways you can do this:
1. Manual Directory Submissions - In this case you’ll have to find a list of directories, navigate to their homepage and from their find the submission page from where you can enter your info and submit your site. I have never use this process because I would much rather find a way to have this done without spending too much of my time.
2. Directory Submission Software - This is a lot faster than the above method with some great pieces of software out there to semi automate the process. Software like Directory Submitter maintains a list of 100s of live directories that you can submit to. You can go to the directories from within the software and the software will automatically fill in the submission form for you according to the info you have previously entered.
Directory Submitter even comes with a web script that will allow you to automatically swap links with those directories that require a reciprocal link. It will also filter those that DO require recip links or payments leaving with you with only FREE directories to submit to.
You can easily submit to couple hundred directories per day using the Directory Submitter method. I highly recommend you get a copy of this software.
3. Paid Directory Submissions By far the fastest way to have your site submitted to a few hundred directories is to pay someone to do it for you. I recently found a company that would submit my site to 500 directories for $50. Good enough!
Today though I was made aware of another company that will submit to 400 directories for $42 PLUS they have detailed reports of the submissions including screenshots of each submission. This is good, as you need to know that your submissions are actually being done. I also recommend you get the monthly submissions for $8.95 for a steady stream of new monthly back-links for your site. Click Here to find this company that will do your directory submissions for you. The company is called Article Aware.
Looking at the above list you can see that all achieve the desired results. What option you go for is purely down to you, how much you have to spend and how much you value your time.
