3 Benefits of Submitting to a Free Directory

May 16th, 2009

Free directories are becoming a lot more common on the Web these days.  With so much information out there it’s getting harder for people that are surfing the Net to find the information that they want and they are turning to Web directories to help them sort through the millions of pages on the Web to find what they are looking for. Submitting the URL of your Web site to a free directory can really help the traffic to your Website increase and help your business grow. Here are the three biggest benefits of submitting a link to your site in a free Web Directory:

 

1. It’s another inbound link. Inbound links are very important when it comes to getting a better search engine results ranking.  The more inbound links you have the higher your search engine results ranking will be so if you can submit a link for free to a Web Directory and get another inbound link you should do it. Free inbound links, especially if they are anchor text links or deep links, can really boost your search engine ranking.

 

2. More people will see your site. Savvy Web surfers are starting to use Web Directories more and more to find Web sites that have the information they are looking for. If you have your Web site listed in a free directory then more smart, capable Internet surfers will be finding your site.

 

3. It’s free. Anytime you can take advantage of some free advertising or free links for your site you should do it. Free links that can equal more traffic for your site is a great deal no matter how you look at it. It takes hardly any time at all to submit a link to a free Web Directory so you should be submitting links to as many free Web Directories as you can.

How Can Web Directories Help Your Business?

April 29th, 2009

Web directories are large sites that contain links to information all over the Net. Web directories are similar to search engines because they can help you find Websites that are related to something that you are interested in, but they operate a little bit differently. Web directories are user built, meaning that people can submit their own content or links to their own sites to the directory.

Web directories get a lot of Internet traffic because they operate as a type of hub online. Think of an airplane terminal, where you have lots of different gates coming off of a central point. A Web directory is like that. The directory page itself is the hub and all the Websites linked to it are like the gates. So submitting a link to your webpage and having that link added to a directory will bring you a lot more Internet traffic.

People that are searching on that directory home page for Websites about a particular subject can find your Website more easily than they would be able to if they were searching through a search engine. Link directories are becoming a very powerful promotional tool that you should be using to drive traffic to your Website. And, since most general link directories don’t charge you to submit your link, using Web directories is a great free way to drive traffic to your site.

But link directories and Web directories can help you drive traffic to your site in other ways too. When the search engine spiders index Websites they follow any of the links that are on that page and index the pages that are linked. So when you submit your site to several different Web directories and you have lots of inbound links your Website will get indexed by the search engine spiders faster and you will get a higher search engine ranking based on how many sites are linking to your site.

How Can Deep Links Help Your Business Grow?

March 2nd, 2009

When search engine spiders are indexing web pages and assigning them a rank on the search engine results pages they target certain keywords and key phrases. The rank that they give that website is based on the number of times that word phrase appears and a few other factors. But search engine spiders also use the number of times that other sites link to a particular site, or content on that site, to calculate the ranking for that site.  So it stands to reason then that the more links that your site has from other sites the higher it will rank in the search engine listings.

 

What you want to do is generate deep links to your site. A deep link is to a particular page on your website instead of just to the main page. The search engine spiders track how many deep links there are to your site. So if you have lots of deep links that are linking to particular pages on your website you will get a higher search engine results ranking and you’ll get more traffic.

 

Deep links help your business grow in another way too.  When other websites use deep links to link directly to a page on your website then you will get traffic from people that are specifically interested in that content. 

 

For example, let’s say that you have a website about caring for your cat, and another site that is also about cats has added a deep link to a page on your website that tells readers how to pick a good cat food for their cats.  You will get more visitors following that deep link than you would from a generic link because people will want to read that specific page. If the link just went to your home page they might click away rather than take the time to look around your site to find the content that they wanted to see.

 

Deep links can be a very effective way of reaching the kind of readers that you are targeting. So how can you get deep links from other sites to your site? You can submit deep links yourself to web directories and content directories that will provide deep links to your website content.

Three Types of Links Found in a Web Directory

February 24th, 2009

There are three types of links that are offered by Web Directories.  When you are submitting your web site to a Web Directory it’s a good idea to know what type of link that particular Web Directory offers because some web site owners might not want to pay for links, or might not want to add a reciprocal link to their web site to publicize the directory.  Here are the three different types of links that Web Directories offer:

 

1. Free – Free links are the most popular types of links. Businesses love free links, of course. Anytime that you can publicize your business for free you’re getting a good deal.  Some business experts think that free links are less valuable than the other types of links but there is no evidence that a free link is any less effective than any of the other types of links.

 

2. ReciprocalWeb Directories that require reciprocal links will usually check your web site to make sure that you have added a link to the Web Directory before the link to your site in the directory will go live. Reciprocal links are very common on the web, but not all that common in Web Directories.

 

3. Paid - Paid Link Directories might charge a flat price just to be included, or they might have a bid for position fee structure. If they operate with a bid for position structure than the position of your link within an appropriate category will depend on how much you have bid and how many other businesses want to get listed in that category. If your business is in a category that doesn’t have too much competition you can get a very good position for your link for fairly cheap. But if your business is in a popular category you might have to pay a lot of money just to get an ok position for your link.

How a General Web Directory can Help Drive Traffic to your Site

February 20th, 2009

If you haven’t submitted your website URL to a General Web Directory yet, what are you waiting for? There are a lot of benefits that come from submitting a link to your website to a General Web Directory, including increased traffic to your website.

 

By submitting a link to your Website to a General Web Directory it allows people to find your Web site. Those who go to that directory looking for information about a particular topic will find the link to your site which will drive up the amount of website traffic that you get every day.  But submitting your website URL to a General Web Directory will also help you get a higher search engine results ranking, which will really help increase the amount of website traffic that you get.

 

One of the things that the search engine spiders take into consideration when they are indexing your website is how many other sites on the Web are linking to your site. When it comes to the Web having links to your page from another page is the best thing that you can have to boost your search engine ranking.  To the search engine spiders a link to your page on another page is like a personal recommendation from that page to go visit your Web site.

 

So when you have a lot of recommendations from other sites in the form of links the search engine spiders will give you a higher search engine results ranking. And the higher up your Web site is on the search engine results pages the more website traffic you will get. Studies have shown that people who use a search engine to find information about a topic won’t look past the first page of search engine results. So to get the attention of that person your website link needs to be as close to the top of the search engine results page as possible. Listing your website URL in a General Web Directory can give your website a great boost in search engine results ranking.

Web4URL Review of Web Directory Profits eBook

July 22nd, 2008

Jeff Hendrickson is a Web Designer and Search Engine Optimizer. He also owns Web Directory Profits and has an eBook out called Web Directory Profits - Profiting From Web Directories. Jeff talks about how you can profit from web directories and how he has generated $91,502.83 in revenue from web directories.

Now I know what you are thinking… $91,502.83!!! It sounds ridiculous. I was a big skeptic too! Truthfully it sounds like a used care salesman gimmick. My suggestion to you is don’t let the sales slogan get in the way of you  purchasing this eBook and reading it with an open mind and objectively.

Web Directory Profits eBook sells for $47.00. What do you get for that $47.00? PLENTY! The eBook alone is over 70 pages packed with information, but you also get 3 instructional videos on how to setup and install your web directory, plus a great professional looking web directory template. The web directory template alone could easily sell for over $50.00. In my opinion, the people purchasing this eBook are making out much better then Jeff.

Who gets the most out of this eBook? Those webmasters that are new to owning a web directory will get more out of it, but seasoned webmaster directory owners, like myself, can get a ton out of it too! Jeff does a great job of taking you step-by-step through the process of deciding what type of directory you should create, pluy comparisons on the different web directory scripts with their strengths and weaknesses. Jeff does focus more on IndexU by NiceCoder, but in an un-bias way. Jeff also provides some valuable resources that every directory owner, be it new or old, can take advantage of.

While I dont believe that every web directory owner will walk away with over $90k of revenue, I do believe Web Directory Profits eBook gives you sound advice on how to generate revenue from your web directory. As with anything in life, the amount of work you put into it will be the amount you gain from it in the end. Those that think they will purchase this eBook, read it, put together a web directory, and in a short time later will generate major cash from it should think again! It takes time, alot of work, and good strategy to be successfull with a web directory. If you have the first three items, Web Directory Profits eBook is the final item you need to be successful.

My Disclaimer - None of the links in this review are affiliate links. I gain absolutely nothing from this article. I have purchased Web Directory Profits eBook for the full asking price and I was not solicited to write this review either. I just wanted to pass along some good information from a non-bias point of view.
