How to Submit your Site URL to Web Directories for Maximum Exposure


Submitting your site URL to web directories is one of the best ways to build links to your website but it is also one of the most rigorous tasks in blogging business because there are thousands of web directories and if you really want to build good links you have to submit to lots of these directories.

There are two options available for adding site URL to directories. You can either manually submit your URL or use submission software.

URL Auto Submission

Automatic submission though could save you some time but it doesn’t usually do a thorough job. The common problem associated with auto submission of URL is duplication of advertisement in web directories and you know search engines don’t like duplication of content, in this case links.

Moreover, to maximize the power of web directories you have to make some differences in your site description with different web directories and play with your keyword using variances of it. If not you could be penalized.

Manual Submission of URL

If you manually submit your URL to directories, you can ensure accuracy. You can control the process using the right keyword and description you want to use.

It is not about quantity though quantity matters because the more site your add your URL to, the more links you get. But all your hard work could lead to nothing when your site is removed from search engine listings because of too much duplication of content and keyword.

So even if it is just 20 sites you can submit to, you would be happy knowing that it was properly done and you would get some good quality links from it

Practical Steps to Submit your Site to Directories for Maximum Exposure

A sample of a web directory submission form

sample of a web directory form

Site name/Title requires you to enter either the name of your site or its title. Note that below it, it says anchor text. It means that whatever you enter there will appear as anchor text. And remember what I said about quality link building, anchor text links has more weigh in search engine rankings. Meaning the more site that link to you with a keyword anchor text like ‘blogging’ the higher your chance of ranking for it

So instead of entering the name of your site or its title, enter the keyword you want to get ranked for.

Then give a little description of your site putting your keyword into consideration but not over doing it.

Use variations of your keyword when filling out web directory forms. There are two benefits in doing this, first is that you can get ranked for all the variations. Second is that search engines do not see you as spamming your keyword and penalize you

So think properly about your keyword before filling out that site name/title

Before adding your URL to a directory, check the page rank to be sure it’s worth the trouble. A site popularity is shown by it page rank, the higher it page rank, the higher the number of it daily visitors and the more people your URL will be exposed to.

When choosing a category for your URL you want to be patient enough to go through all the categories and be sure of the one that fits well with your site else you risk losing targeted visitors to your site

If there is no category that fits well with your site on a particular directory it is better to ignore that directory and move to another instead of choosing a category that doesn’t fit well with what your site is about and attract the wrong visitors to your site
After all there are thousands of web directories to pick from.

The above lines were my exact exclamation when I first discovered that a New York doctor has revealed his ‘Secret’ of how he has successfully started 16 separate businesses selling virtually anything and everything ranging from pet food, Dvd’s, children’s toys, and games. Books, software, and sold not just manufactured products but also was an affiliate for other web business owners…in all applying his ‘Secret’ and got all his ads for free.

He has amassed over $300 million over the last 8yrs from search engines targeted paid advertisement. He
referred to his Secret as a simple ‘Oversight’ by 99.9% of internet marketers.

He proudly boasts “This is something that I caught onto just before 2000 when there was so much search engine craze running around, and I started doing small just to test things at first …but which I later expanded on after getting the hang of it”

This Revelation on how to get ‘Google Ad free’ from the gentle doctor couldn’t have come at a better time!

It’s a fact that one of the strongest challenges we marketers (online and offline) face is how to ‘effectively and easily’ get our Ads to the public, which google and other search engines provide but with rather expensive rates. This has completely discouraged some webmasters, promoters and affiliates (online and
offline) working on a low budget. I personally almost quitted some time back because of same search engines Ads high rates, I stuck around because a dear friend kept urging me to. With this ‘Revelation’, I’m so glad I didn’t quit, I would have really missed out! It pays to be patient.

The gentle doctor’s ‘Secret’ is giving every marketer (online and offline) an equal opportunity to do business on the web. Now we can welcome big and small business owners, webmasters, promoters and affiliates with low budget to a new game. Are you Game? …

Hey! Wait a minute; wouldn’t the doctor’s ‘Secret’ affect search engines financially? How legal is his ‘Secret’? And why is he revealing it now?

There’s no cause to worry at all, I can assure you that the doctor’s ‘Secret’ on how to get Pay –Per-Click Ads free is very legal and it wouldn’t affect search engines activities, rather on the contrary, it “helps search engines to make more money. You are curious? …

The gentle doctor has realized that revealing his ‘Secret’ wouldn’t take anything from his already amassed fortune of $300million, but rather can only make him richer. But don’t worry, what he is asking from you is a
peanut compare to the financial potential of the ‘Secret’ he is revealing to you.

With the gentleman’s ‘Secret’ you can go to affiliates networks, pick as many product as you want to sell and then go to any of the search engines (Google,MSN,Yahoo and others) and place as many targeted adverts as you want.
Can you imagine the implication of that to your finance? The financial potential is VERY HUGE.

And the process still remains the same; you still have to register for your adverts, only with the exception of paying for it.

Our dear doctor has designed it in a way that even a 4th level reader can understand and practice. If
you are wise in business, and really want to maximize the financial potential of the web, you wouldn’t let this pass you by……Use your last dime to buy it, if possible, you will never regret it and I’m talking from experience.

Waiting to save for it is risky as the gentle doctor threatens to withdraw it anytime without any warning. So do whatever you have to, but just don’t let this pass you by.
