Build Links Through Web Directories
Link Building is one of the most effective ways to improve your site link popularity and better rankings on Search Engines through the internet. Creating good and quality links around your web site or blog, you can easily improve your overall ratings, Google PR and traffic from search engines and other web sites! Good and one of the first thing you should do about this is to submit your web site to Web Directories.
On above Top 50 Free SEO Friendly Directories article, I have collected most popular web directories where you can submit your web site or blog completely for free. These directories are well known and get’s good amount of visitors per day. Of course, subscribing to more of these directories, you can improve your link popularity or Google PR for sure and completely for free!
How to Subscribe to Directories ?
This is easy process, but it can take much time for you. Also, some directories requires free registration process to submit links in their database. I recommend you to check these Directories when you have more time.
Usually, submission is really simple and quick on most listed directories! In most cases, you need to:
- Find appropriate category where you want to submit your site in!
- Find Suggest URL, Add URL or Submit your site links on these pages.
- Fill out necessary form to include your submission.
- Wait for directory inclusion – don’t submit your sites more than once!
When my Web Site Shows in Directory ?
Well, that depends from directory to directory. For example, submissions on DMOZ directory may take several months. But on some other PR4 directory can take day or two. Of course, this depends on directory popularity and number of included web sites in own database.
I recommend you to submit your site only ONCE per directory. Good way is to make own templates for Title and Description tags because Google doesn’t like when see exactly the same tags on many places! Note that this may cause your blog or web site to be marked as spam and of course exclusion from Google search engine – which is not good of course!
Conclusions
With this link building technique you can easily improve your site:
- Google Page Rank Value
- Link Popularity
- Positions on SERP
- Get Some Traffic
Only bad thing is that this technique can take much more time than any other link building technique! But, you will be credited for your hard work once believe me!
Thanks for the post !
But I still tend to use the free Directory Submission Tools, they are great, easy, simple and effective ways to submit your links.

Dir submission tools can takes less time for you!
I will write about that later in the future!
Directory submission tools are faster way of building links but it is not recommended. It might even get your PR lower than it was.
Because Google wants natural linking, and when you submit to 100+ directories at once with tools, you get 100+links in one day. What do you think – Is that natural? Of course not. So that technique might even get you banned from google and other search engines… Watch out…
I would recommend submitting only to few truly SEO friendly directories that are human edited and that have Page Rank 4 or higher. Only these directories will make your website more popular with Google. And be careful not to submit your website to many directories in one day. Submit to 1-2 directories a day, and you’ll be ok.
Hope I helped to understand this link building technique better.
Enjoy!
Thanks for nice reply!
I will note this in one of my future posts!
This is a great post – thanks! I agree with Gennice, I am not a big fan of the submission tools – Another downside to the directory submission tools is their one size fits all foms. These forms often times require more information than is required from the directories that you are submitting to. My practice is not to provide excess info if not required.
My website is a few posts into a blog series on website directories and I would love everyone to pay us a visit and let us know what you think!
Thanks! Phil.
