Directory & Local Submission
Submissions of a website to a Directory used to be an efficient
way of getting the “word” out about your website. However, times have changed. If you were to direct us to a topic, we could likely point out 100+
different directories that have been created to “drive traffic” to your
site. The unfortunate truth is that nobody uses
directories anymore. They are useless
unless you are performing SEO or you are willing to pay to be included in extremely popular ones (which are rare).
If you are performing SEO on your website, then directories can be a
great friend and ally. They are a
wonderful way of getting links to point back to your site. Again, the bad news is that in recent years,
Google and the other search engines have tightened their respective search algorithms and no
longer place much weight on links obtained from directories. |
