SEO's Guide In Directory
Submission
by: Eli of SEO Reign
Manual Directory Submission seems to prevail on the start
of the Internet and even nowadays it's becoming the trend.
From the layman's point of view of doing business like
in the actual world, your business should be listed in
the trade directories, phone directories and different
kind of directories that allow access to your company's
profiles, products and services offerings. On the Internet,
it woks very fairly the same and there are several huge
directories that you need to prioritised to be listed
on it such as google, yahoo, dmoz, msn, altavista, etc.
The more appropriate the directory for your domain the
better to get listed. Submitting a site is merely telling
a directory that is also managed by a human that your
site exists and is ready to do business, thus you are
suggesting it to the directory. One submission or suggestion
is most appropriate.
Things To
Remember When Doing Manual Directory Submission:
1. Your site's meta such as title, keyword and description
must be all set.
2. Your site's should not contain any incomplete pages
or under construction if you submit this site without
this consideration, it will get you rejected fast and
guaranteed.
3. Think very well your site's niche products/services
and concentrate on them building your pages very carefully
to "zero-in" those products/services.
4. Products and services are very similar to your site's
meta keywords. It's better to have 5 zeroed-in keywords
rather than having 20 or 25 keyword. Concentrate on those
5 keywords. Eat, sleep, breath, and do every day things
with those "keywords" in mind, don't let anything in the
world distract you from those goals.
5. Your site's meta descriptions are also derived and
suggested from your keywords. An example construction
is below:
Base your entry on meta from the example given above.
6. Your site's meta title will and need to agree and be
similar with your keywords and description combined. Don't
get out of focus on it.
Types Of Directory
Submissions:
There are 2 types: (a) manual and (b) automatic
1. Consider manual submission as like into driving with
your eyes fixed on the windshield as automatic as to just
driving without looking.
2. Having mentioned the above comparison of the 2 types,
most seo will tell you going to the path of manual submission
is best on every web site.
3. Doing submissions is a lifetime project assigned to
every web site it cannot be ignored. It must be done religiously
and it cannot be finished. No one can ever say that he
or she is an seo guru for it will never be finished. You
have to study and research all those web directories out
there, don't worry one site claimed there are already
700,000 to a million web directories recorded so you have
a lot of things to do.
4. Do the submission first as an example with 2 staff
(at the most) watching you how you do it. Make sure there's
a contract first before doing this.
Trying to distinguish a bad seo from a good one nowadays
is very difficult but I have compiled several guides both
for the would-be clients of SEO Experts and for the SEO
doing search engine optimization as a profession. I'll
start with the guide for the "would-be" clients.
Guide For The "would-be" SEO Clients:
1. Always remember no SEO expert will give you enough
information about a site's seo efforts for you to duplicate
them.
2. Ask to see success results for the company's seo efforts.
Let them quote you some sample domains they done with
the past like for example 5 or more domains are convincing
enough. Tip: The first place to look at is at the main
corporate domain of the said seo company.
3. You should at least get straight answers from the following
questions:
- What are some sites you've worked on successfully?
- For what keywords is the site ranking well?
- About how often are those keywords searched on?
- If you did not optimize the site to rank high for keywords,
did you do anything for the site's content to help it
attract more non-standard search traffic?
- How much traffic does it have?
- What general methods did you use to achieve these results?
(optional) If the company agrees to answer, then you're
chance are huge that this company is really an seo expert.
4. The most important point of seo quality assurance is
the cost.
5. No real seo company is going to perform an seo service
for a particular site for less than they could have gotten
it for a year of adsense or affiliate earnings for the
same amount of work. Let's face it, the adsense empire
technology is being monopolized by both blackhat seo and
the good seo just because of their assured earnings per
year and they could live and profit without even without
a client for a year. Most of their pricing scheme will
cost you more than a leg or neck or it could be more than
that but the good seo will stick to their price.
How To Use The Web Directories For The Best Seo Efforts:
1. The "Do-it-yourself" Guide starts by visiting the SEO
Friendly Web Directory located at http://www.seoreign.com/directory/
and then browsing through the many listings of manual
directories and submitting through them one by one.
2. Submit your domain to as much web directories as you
can whether they are free, paid, and niche directories.
This is the basic core of your web promotion and should
be done on a regular if not on a daily basis. Hire at
least 2 staff to do it for you on a daily basis. Be careful
of rotten web directories that lists porn web sites and
all kind of illegal content (Bad neighborhood).
3. Read me first. Most web directories have high PR so
submitting to them without an exchange deal is very difficult,
read first their guidelines and don't just "blindly" submit
to them without reading it first. Mostly exchange deals
are in the form of you are (a) obligated to receive from
them a daily, weekly or monthly newsletter in exchange
for your free listings with them; (b) requires you to
edit one page dedicated for their listings; (c) requires
reciprocal linking; (d) requires a virtual card or some
sort of "buy me a beer" to get you listed; and of course
(e) requires one time payment fee.
4. If your site deals with wholesale products you have
sourced from your suppliers, it's best to list in that
particular "niche" directories, google can mostly help
like you can search "wholesale+directories" or any keyword
with "wholesale and directory" on it. You can run several
keyword spinners out there that are free and that can
help guide you through the keyword "wholesale".
5. One domain - one product. The trend nowadays is niche
content and niche directories so it's better to create
one domain for one product that will help you do most
at least of your seo's efforts when it comes to the brand
or name you carry.
