Website Directory Submission

The first type of link building I always concentrate on first is business directories. Business directories can free of paid for, I normally just go for the high quality free ones which I will list later on in this article. I only concentrate on high quality business directories rather than 100 low quality ones - this can have an adverse effect. Slow natural growth is better for your website than trying to get many links all in one go. Google has certain guidelines and if you stray from these guidelines you site could suffer.

The directory that most website owners will want to get is DMOZ or the ODP. It is notoriously the hardest directory to get listed on (it took myself over a year to get my main site listed). Once your site is listed however, you should notice a difference in rankings - I know that I did. Be very careful when submitting your site to DMOZ as you don't want to make any mistakes in any of the fields before you press the submit button.

Other sits I would recommend would include Yahoo (although this has a $300 fee!), all of the web and joeant.

Directory submission can be time consuming and it can also take a while for your entry to be added. I would steer clear of automatic directory submitters which speed up the process allowing you to submit to hundreds of directories in one go. I would just recommend using the high quality sites with high page rank (always a good guide).
