Top Ten Tips for Directory Submission

Boosting page rankings is easily achieved through directory submissions and to get the most from this means of grabbing quality one-way links you need to learn about the following ten useful tips for directory submission.

Submit to directories with quality links

You would profit from submitting your link to only those directories which have outgoing links that connect with other sites that seem useful, and if you find a page with such links, you can then put your link there even if there are many other links on the page.

Choose to submit manually

Though you may be tempted to submit automatically, manual submission is safer and you can also ensure that you submit only to the best directories.

Ensure that the directory has an appropriate category as well as sub-category

It is a good idea to submit your site to a directory that has the right kind of categories and also sub-categories, and if you don’t find these features, you may as well as look at other directories.

Text or title need to be anchored

If you ensure to anchor text that in turn has sufficient numbers of keywords as well as phrases you will improve the functioning of incoming links though remember that at the same time that you should not saturate your text with these keywords and phrases. However, there is nothing wrong with mixing up primary keywords and phrases with secondary ones.

Describe your link well

A link should have its description properly formed as it helps visitors and also search engines, though makes sure that these descriptions don’t turn out to be just sales pitches since such promotional words and phrases are not allowed by the better directories. It would be much better to have the description spell out what the anchor text is all about and it must also be objectively spelt out as well.

Determine the proper numbers of links per page

You should know how many links are contained in a page and ensure that they do not exceed ten in number, though less than ten can prove to be helpful as far as search engine optimization goes.

Don’t submit to more than twenty directories in a single day

It is not recommended that you submit to more than twenty directories in a single day – at least not while using a single IP address.

Are pages cached or not?

You need to also determine whether sub-pages as well as sub-category pages are cached by the search engine.

Are pages of the directory included in supplementary index?

Look and see whether there are not a few pages of a particular directory that are included in a supplementary index. A Google search is the way to find out this information.

Meta descriptions should not contain “no follow” or “no index” attributes
