Preparing Specifics For Directory Submission Service

Directory submission is something that could bring visitors to your site, mainly indirectly through an improvement in one-way links. Such links from relevant sources are considered highly by search engines in ranking your particular site among numerous competing sites.

There's a catch, however. Directories free or paid, do not accept all submitted sites. If your site does not meet their criteria, even paying money might not result in a listing.

Your chances of getting listed are improved if you follow certain practices as discussed below.

Submit All Required Details

Directories need certain standard information about the sites submitted to them. These include:

URL – The Web site URL is needed so that both the directories and visitors can access your website
TITLE – The Title is the headline for your listing
DESCRIPTION – Description is what appears under the headline. The Title and Description together must accurately describe what your site is about
CATEGORY – Directories classify the sites and list them under appropriate categories. A listing under a relevant category improves the link value of your site to search engines and its information value to directory visitors
KEYWORDS – Some directories allow you to specify the keywords (search terms) to be associated with your listing
NAME – Most directories want to know who is submitting a site to them and ask for your name
EMAIL – An email address would enable the directories to communicate acceptance or rejection to you (and also to send you spam).
ADDRESS – Directories might also ask for your address.

If you want a listing in a directory, it is advisable to provide them the details they want. To minimize spam trouble, you could set up a separate email account to receive mail from the directories.

The following actions could help you succeed at your directory submission campaign:

Read the guidelines that the directories provide.
Look at the Titles and Descriptions of existing listings.
Review your own title and description and make them accurate, informative, crisp and tempting.
Include your keywords without affecting the above aspects.
Check that the lengths of Title and Description are within the allowed limits, number of words or characters.
Look at the existing listings in different categories and find the category where sites similar to yours are listed.
Drill down to the selected category and submit under that category.
