Directory Submissions And Directory Listings

Directories are humanly edited and hierarchically structured index organizations. These are headed by a panel of editors who go through the web pages of a submitted website, evaluate them and finally list them categorically according to the content present on that website. Also the amount of quality customers coming to your site through directory listings is more. If you are focused on a specific segment of the market, then getting listed with specific directories depending on the priorities of your business can enhance the chances of increasing internet traffic to your website.

The most popular directories on the web today are Yahoo and The Open Directory Project (Dmoz). Getting listed in a directory takes a while as opposed to getting listed in search engines. The major difference lies in the fact that getting listed in a search engine is an automated procedure, where as a website gets listed in the directory manually after the directory editors scrutinize and approve the content on that website. These web directories play a pivotal role in improving a website’s ranking on the major search engines and aid in increasing the flow of internet traffic to that particular website.
The traffic to your site can also be increased many fold by carrying out proper link building activities with other high ranking web sites.

Directories are of mainly 3 types namely:

• Generic Directories.
• Business specific Directories.
• Region Specific Directories.

As a part of our submission service, we will:

• Carry out research as to which directory would be appropriate to list your website.
• Develop title tags, Meta tags along with the Meta description to improve your directory listings.
• Review the website and ensure that it meets the appropriate requirements to get listed.
• Manually submit your website to major web directories:
  • 1) Open directory (Dmoz.org)
  • 2) Google.
  • 3) Look smart.
  • 4) Yahoo (on your proposal).
