Link Building With Directory Submissions

December 29th, 2007 | No Comments | Posted in Internet

One of the most straightforward ways to build links is by submitting your site to directories. We all know the big directories such as DMOZ, Yahoo, or Best of the Web, and you should submit to these sites. But you should also consider submitting to various small or niche free or paid directories.

Free directories are a no-brainer, except for those that require a link back in order for you to be listed. I recommend avoiding these directories altogether. Search engines will not penalize you based on who links to you, but if you link from your site to a known spammer or so-called bad neighborhood your placement in the SERPs (search engine result pages) could suffer. Most of these “link back” directories exist only to gain link weight for themselves and are not worth your time.
