- Why submit to a Directory?
Two reasons for submitting to directories: Targeted traffic and Link popularity Clearly, the same benefits can be derived from a link from just about any site - not just from a directory. However, there are some significant differences between the two link sources:
Directories have only one 'purpose in life': to provide links to other sites. Directories are an established source of 'authority' in regard to various subject matters. Being listed in them serves as testimony to the site's 'worth'. It is much easier and simpler to be listed in directories than in subject specific sites (not forgetting the fact that there may be a conflict of interest issue!). Perhaps we should first review the concept of 'Directory', understand the exact difference from Search Engine and get to know the various types of directories - and what advantages each one has.
- What does a directory submission involve?
These are the essential components of a directory submission:
- Keyword selection- You must put keywords into your site description (NOT your meta-tag description).
- Title and description copywriting- To get the best directory results, you should
submit titles and descriptions to categories that contain your targeted keywords.
- Submission and monitoring- Keeping track of your submissions is essential in
the event your site needs to be resubmitted or updated. We always submit to the major directories in a non-spam manner.
- Do you offer any guarantee for website inclusion in all directories?
Despite what other online marketing companies claim, no one can guarantee top directory placement because there is a 3rd party who has all of the control: the directory editors. We do not guarantee listings on optimum pages of the directories, but we send all the verification emails received while directory submission, as a proof, that your listing has been submitted to respective directories and that the directory owners have received our submissions.
We even undertake paid inclusion plans with guaranteed results on optimum pages of directories. Contact us for paid directory submission service.
Our Submissions are based on 1 time inclusions, and we do not assure that listings will last forever. But once we are listed in web directories, there is very less possibility of listing being removed, unless removed manually or disapproved from web directory owners.
- How will directory submission services be charged to my company? What is the billing pattern for directory submission services taken?

However we generally suggest our clients to gor for minium 6 months, for better results from Directory submission services.

No. We don't suggest of submission software in SEO campaigns. We submit to the search engines manually.
- How would I know that my site is submitted to directories?
When the submission task is completed, we will provide you the list of verification emails received from various directories submitted.
- Will you be submitting my site to directories where my site is already included?
You can tell us about the directories where you have already submitted your site.
- Will submitting to directories improve my search engine results ?
Yes, one important ranking factor for search engines is the popularity of your web site. Search engines calculate your site’s popularity based on how many pages on the internet are linking to you.
Of course it’s not the only ranking factor and it will take some time for search engines to notice all the links pointing to your web site, but submitting to directories is definitely something you should be doing.
- Will submitting to directories increase my Google Pagerank ?
Yes, every link pointing to your site is taken in account by Google when calculating your site's pagerank, with higher PR links having heavier weight. Submitting to a significant amount of directories will result in more sites linking to you.
- How many directories should I submit to?
You should submit to as many as you can. The more links the better, keep in mind though that not every link has the same value: a link from a themed directory that fits the niche of your web site will be very valuable while a listing on a directory completely unrelated to yours won’t bring you nearly any benefit.
- How often should I submit to directories?
A good link building strategy is to submit to a few directories every day or at least every month if combined with other link building techniques. Once your site is submitted to a given directory there’s no need to submit it again.
- Is submitting to directories really worth the effort?
If you are serious about your web site’s success, directory submission is a must. Website marketing and search engine positioning is a very competitive field and in order to beat your competition you have to use all the mediums at your disposal as they will be doing it too.
- How long should my titles and descriptions be?
There is no exact answer but titles should generally be: 3-5 words. A 2 word title is good but many directories only allow a particular title to be used once in a category. A short title like "Criminal lawyer" may already be on the directory. A better choice may be "Criminal lawyer - Chicago, Illinois". If you choose short titles please include additional titles.
Descriptions should be 200-250 characters. Many directories now require a minimum of 200 characters.
- What types of payment schedules are available?
Our directory submission plans are based on monthly plans and are billed monthly, yearly or half yearly. We take 50% payment before starting the work, and 2nd installment after sending verification emails received from number of directories contracted. Our preferred payment method cheque, cash, bank wire transfer, PayPal or Credit Card.
