It’s common knowledge that the more links you have pointing to your website, the more “popular” search engines will see your site, thus the better your chances of getting higher search results.
Often when starting a new website, it’s almost impossible to get others to link to you unless you’re giving something away for free or offering a product or service that’s simply amazing.
This is where submitting to web directories can come in handy…
Why Web Directories?
Web directories are seen as an important and honest form of quality links by existing search engines, so naturally getting listed in a web directory can help to dramatically boost your ranking in all major search engines.
There are quite a few web directories online, so it’s usually an easier task to get your site listed in these directories than asking other webmasters to link to your site.
Once your site is included in a web directory, it’s usually there to stay. These days search engines not only take into account the quality of the link to your site and the number of links to your site, but also the age of each particular link. Since most directories rarely delete their listings, you can capitalise on the age of your link in various directories.
