Submission to Directories


S. Tanna - July 15, 2008
If you ask webmasters running commercial sites what they would like most, one of most common answers will surely be that they would like to increase the amount of traffic (that is to say the number of visitors) that their web site gets. This is because for most web businesses, the amount of revenue and profit that a web site generates is closely related to how many people visit it. In the case of a sales site, more visitors mean more sales. In the case of an affiliate web site, more visitors mean more affiliate sales and more commission. And, in the case of an advertising-supported site, more visitors mean more ad displays and more clicks on ads, all that of course means more revenue.

One of the best ways to get more traffic to your web site is to the increase the number of incoming links ("backlinks") leading to the site. This is because people surf the web by clicking on links, and thus every link to your site represents a potential source of traffic. Additionally, search engines such as Google take incoming links into account when ranking the listings in their search results, and web sites with more incoming links tend to rank higher and generally receive more traffic from search engines.

One of the easiest ways to get more incoming links to your site is to submit it to Internet directories. There are well over a thousand internet directories, and many of them accept free submissions. When you consider that, getting listed in as many of these as possible, as soon as possible, should be one of your marketing priorities.

The main limits on submitting your site to so many directories is simply the time factor. It's a lot of work to find each directory, find its submission form, and then fill out the submission form. Submitting to over a thousand directories manually would be a Herculean task! For this reason, you should consider automating your submissions, because if you were to invest in some directory submitter software, you could get the job done a lot quicker. About the author
