Free Website Directory Sites to Boost Your Ranking
by John Smith LearnerThere are many useful ways to
improve your search rankings and website traffic, but many of them don't have
the added benefit of being free. Assuming you ignore the short time it takes to
provide a site description, site directories are a really free way to get
higher rankings in Google search results, increase referrals, and overall
increase your website promotion. Of course, not all link directories are
created equal, so let's take a look at some of the things that separate the
good from the great.
When visiting a Free Website Directory, first go to the category that best matches your
website. If it's a quality web directory, it will include a wide range of
detailed categories defined in an easy-to-view hierarchy. The best directories
cater to all types of niche sites, so if you own a franchise-related site, you
may want to add it to the franchise category rather than settle for a very
general business category. By finding your niche niche category and submitting
a URL, search engines like Google will be better able to link your site to your
chosen keywords.
Since owning and maintaining a
website directory can be a very tedious and time-consuming task, some directory
owners automate submission approval, which can save time, but is definitely a
bad idea. Human-edited directories actually do better because of stricter
submission standards. If sites are accepted in the wrong categories or do not
follow the submission guidelines, the directory will quickly degenerate into a
useless list of backlinks to sites that may or may not provide useful content
for Internet users and researchers. By taking this extra time to validate your
links, users can continue to benefit from your site being part of the
directory.
Although most web directories
have good submission standards and are easy to navigate, they mean nothing if
the approval process is too slow. Some directories are very slow to accept new
URL submissions, while others are run by people who are so short on time that
they forgot to put it all together. This can be time-consuming, so it's better
to apply to sites that are constantly accepting submissions and maintain an
active directory. People who maintain an active submission process with quick
approvals are more likely to keep up with the latest trends, which improves the
quality of their site and thus the backlinks that direct web surfers to your
site.
