Submitting your site to free directories is an easy way of generating a whole lot of backlinks in a short span of time. Here are some tips that will help you gain the maximum advantage through a directory submission campaign:

1.) Submit to the Right Category: Spend some time and identify the right category. To save time, first identify the right category and then click the 'Submit' link on that page.

2.) Read the Terms: Terms of submission will vary from directory to directory. So make sure that you read the terms before making the submission.

3.) Use A Proper Link Title: Do not stuff the title with keywords. Instead use a proper meaningful title. Include the name of your business or website in the title.

4.) Vary the Title: It is always better to vary the title of the link especially if you are using keyword rich titles.

5.) Avoid Directories Hosted On The Same IP: If there are many directories hosted on the same IP, do not submit to all of them. You can submit to one or two directories at the max.

6.) Register Whenever Possible: If the directory offers a registration service, make sure that you register. Keep a note of your login details for future reference. You will need this in-case you want to make changes to the link or remove the link for some reason.

7.) Avoid Bulk Submissions: Do not submit to hundreds of directories in a short span of time especially if your website is new. Space your submissions and submit to a small amount of directories every month. Always remember that the slow and steady wins the race

8.) Vary the Description: Vary the description after every 10 to 15 submissions to maintain uniqueness

9.) Also Submit Internal Pages: Most directories listed below also accept internal page submissions. You can consider submitting some important internal pages instead of submitting the homepage at all times.

10.) Avoid Multiple Submissions: Do not submit more than once to the same directory
