Directory submission is a web marketing method that requires knowledge, experience and judgment on the part of the submitter. We have make a conscious effort to concentrate on quality rather than quantity. Having good links is a key to ranking well in the search engines. At the same time, the search engines like Google are extremely intelligent. Your link building efforts should be done as naturally as possible. See our recent article on your natural link profile.

1. We know directories

We really do know directories and it’s a full time job keeping up with them. Every month, a large number turn from free to reciprocal or paid. A directory that has been adding links for a year will suddenly stop adding free links. We keep our eyes open and record a number of other factors. When you choose Best Web Directories to do your directory submissions you get our extensive directory expertise and research.

2. Quality rather than Quantity

We can choose from thousands of free general directories. We keep our own list of free directories. We carefully select a limited amount (currently 300) of the top directories. Too many submission companies submit to thousands of poor quality directories that have more chance of harming your site than helping. We put quality ahead of profit.

3. When we choose the directories to submit to, we:

  1. ensure that the directories pass PageRank.
  2. ensure that they are actively adding free listings. We keep tract of the directories that we submit to and remove the directories that stop adding new listings.
  3. ensure that there is no more than one directory from the same IP.
  4. know directory owners with networks of directories with few links other than the cross-linking of their own directories.
