Thread: Web link directory submission questions!

Here, I would like to raise some questions on how to increase web link directory submission efficiency and mutually beneficial practice exchange. What incoming link building techniques do you use in practice? Do you prefer manual or automatic submission? What directories do you submit websites to? Paid or free and why? As for me, I suggest the special attention should be paid on description when submitting website to directories! Different website descriptions should be used for each directory. Don’t use the same description for several directories! Search engines can accept it as duplicate content and incoming link will have no value! For this reason I do manual submission only. Also I think it is expedient to perform directory on regular basis! If you can add something or share your practical experience are welcome to go on this post!

I'll submit my site to any and all directories that I can find.
When submitting, try to put unique info on each and every submissions if you can.
I would at least try to use different anchor text for your submissions, it's okay if you have like 5 different anchor/descriptions for all your submissions, well it's better then having the exact same thing on all submissions.

Good luck, let us know if you have further questions

Monitor forums for new directory announcements and submit to new directories as quickly as possible.
Advantages:
1. Some of them turn paid after getting a PR you just got yourself a free listing in a paid directory
2. You can get competitive keywords as titles/anchor text
3. Approvals are faster in the beginning

Approval in a PR0 directory is better than no approval in a PR9/10 directory

Yes, smalleyjohn, I agree with you, sometimes there is the certain scense to submit a website to new directories!
