Learn about Manual Directory Submission

Directory submission as we know is one of the greatest ways to increase a website’s ranking in search engines. With successful directory submission, you can get your website up in the search results of popular search engines like Google. But, the task is not as simple as it sounds. There are several aspects that need to be taken care of while making directory submission. Webmasters and online marketers fully utilize this technique to accomplish their SEO campaigns.

The first step for directory submission is to find the web directories you would like to make submission to. You should make a list of at least 200 web directories, as you would not get effective results for submitting to a few. There are more than thousands of web directories that you can choose from. Some of these directories are for all types of websites, whereas others are meant for specific type or category of websites. So, make sure that you choose directories according to the type of your website. Make sure that the web directories you choose are SEO friendly. The whole idea of directory submission is to obtain valuable links to your site, which will not be possible if the web directories are not SEO friendly.

For manual directory submissions select the directory that contain the right category for your company product or services. As you enter the site, a submission form will appear. Fill in the form with information like name, description, URL and e-mail account. Sometimes there are additional details as well. Study the guideline of each directory before making submission.

Most web directories are free and do not charge any submission fee. However, there are few that will charge you for submission. So in those cases you will have to choose an option for making payment. You will be given a number of choices from which you can choose according to your convenience.

Fill in the form very carefully. Keep the title simple and short and relevant to your website content. 45 to 55 characters are ideal for titles. Make sure that your site has quality and relevant content.

In the description part provide information that describes the concept of your website. Make it relevant, attractive and to the point. Promotional descriptions are most of the time rejected by web directories.

Provide a valid e-mail address and name. These are two essential information that you need to provide while making directory submission.
