SEO Tips

How To Submit Your Site To A Free Directory and have a good chance that the site listing will be approved? I can give you some tips from the first hand as I am one of the people that approve or delete links waiting to be included into the Buzz Directory. Other directory owners that probably feel just about the same. I know that for the most of people that submit a site any directory is just another directory and wnat to submit as quickly as possible. But for me, a submitted link is just another submitted link and if I don’t like it I will delete it (sorry). So it makes sense to take a little more time and follow this rules:

How To Submit Your Site To A Directory Rules

Title
Do not stuff the title full of related or unrelated keywords. I know that this is what counts for SERP positions, but directory owners look at the site title as you might look at your own name. What is the name of your website, of your company, of your service? Site with a title loans, loans, loans will be deleted 100%. Also make sure you start with a capital letter.

URL
If the directory does not say that it takes deep links (Buzz Directory doesn’t) than it is 99% sure that your link that looks like www.my-site-for-loans.com/loans-loans-loans.html will not be included. Only submit full domains.

Category
Submit to the right category. Most directories will not bother to correct your category, your site will simply be deleted.

Description
Start with a capital letter. Finish with a full stop. Make sure that you description fits into the number of words/characters limit. If the description is cut in the middle, the site will not be included. With description like “This is the site about loans, bad loans, good loans that can be very very” you can be sure it will go into trash.

Description keyword stuffing. It is OK to put some keywords into the description, but a description should be about the problem that your site will solve. Just a bunch of keywords separated with commas will get you nowhere.

If you got this far, there is a good chance that you will be listed, no matter what your site looks like .

Reciprocal link
Reciprocal link is like a candy for directory owners eyes, it is the first place where my eyes go. Even if the directory does not require reciprocal links, your site will be reviewed faster and there is a bigger chance it will be included if you link back to the directory.

The submitted website
Do not submit sites that are not yet finished, make sure there is some usefull content on your site for the visitors. Blogs with just one post, pages with no info – just ads etc will not be accepted.

That’s mostly it. If you have any questions, please ask.
