There is probably no better first marketing step for any
website at all than submitting it to the top 400 or so Link
Directories. As you can see from my rating, it’s not even
close to being your best method of traffic generation. However, if you care about
incoming links to your website, this is THE FOUNDATION that all other links will
build on, because Search Engines start in these places and find your website
through the links you place in them.
I’ve built over 300 different websites for all kinds of different purposes in my
career, but I have submitted all of them to the legitimate link directories without
fail. It’s a no-brainer that really should be thought of as necessary, despite the
piddling amount of traffic it brings.
There are probably more link directories out there than anyone could ever submit
to, but luckily it is only important to submit to the ones that have some
PageRank. Even still, the number of submissions you could wind up making for
each site will be between 400 and 500, so this is not a quick task to do. Without
software to keep up with all of them, and of course to help you paste your content
into all of those forms, you’d take way too long to finish a single site’s posting.
It used to cost a lot for software that would submit to all the best directories, (As I
know well, I have paid out the nose!) But luckily for you there is now a completely
Free software that will submit to all the best Directories. (It can be upgraded to do
them all, but the free selection is SO much better than doing it by hand.) It’s
simply called
Directory Submitter
, and it’s made by the same guy who did SEO
Elite, so you know it’s quality stuff. Download it ASAP and make it part of your
marketing regimen for every website or blog you start for the rest of your life.
