What to Look For When Submitting To Directories!

Have you ever wondered what to look for when submitting to directories? If you’ve been doing SEO for any amount of time you probably know that directory submissions are a great way to build your authority. However a lot of directories are misleading and they’re really not that powerful and they won’t help your rankings very much!

Today we’re going to address this issue and show you what you need to look for when submitting to a directory, these tips should help you and we hope you’re rakings start improving!

The first step

• When you first enter into a directory the first thing you should look for is a correctly SEO’d directory, any really good ones will have a proper title tag, proper description and decent category selection for your website. If the directory does not have these three things leave immediately!
• If the directory has these three things it’s time to move on to the next step to see if the directory is worth submitting to, although we do not endorse using page rank as a guide, we do believe it’s valuable in the sense that if a page has page rank it will pass link juice to you. A directory should have inner page rank on it, at least one subdirectory if not many should have a valid pr.
• If it doesn’t have at least one subdirectory with a page rank it’s probably really new and not worth submitting to at this time. But if it does have inner page rank then more than likely you will get some link juice from the site and your website should be listed in this directory.
• Another thing to look for when listing your website in a directory is to check if it is paid or a free directory. Free directories are great but they don’t usually pass much link value to you, we know the paid directories can get expensive but for the time that your going to take to submit to a bunch of free directories one paid directory could do all the leg work for you. Since we believe this to be the case we do not endorse going to free directories because number one it probably does not have much link juice and number two it probably has a lot of websites in it already which are pulling all of the link juice that that directory has.

So basically the main thing to keep in mind is that most free directories do not pass much link juice to you, save your time and leg work, spend a little money and get in a paid seo directory that is going to pass some serious link value to you!
