Getting the Most Out of Free Website Directory Submissions

Expert Author Travis Martin Winn

If you have your own website or blog, you will find it worthwhile to submit your website to a variety of high quality free website directories. Here are some additional tips for getting the most out of directory submissions.

Use Keywords in Your Listing- When you submit your link you will be asked for a title and a description. Using your sites primary keywords in your posting will help it get you more traffic, and because the title is generally used for the link itself, you will add relevancy to the link. Anchor text also matter here, just as with article marketing.

Stay Away from Spam- Some newcomers think that by plastering their posting title and descriptions with keywords, that they will get more search engine recognition and/or traffic. First of all, the search engines hate spam and therefore it should always be avoided. And because good link directories are human edited, these spam links do not get approved.

No Sites Under Construction- Your submission will also get rejected if your website is under-construction, if it lacks content and value, and if it is just a page full of affiliate links and ads. Directories aim to list quality websites only. This goes for all types of website promotion and advertising. Do not waste time or money on website traffic until you have a site worthy of it.

Look for Niche Directories- Aside from the many general directories available, many niche directories add other great opportunities for relevant links and traffic. Always be on the lookout for directories that service your particular niche.
