Directory
Submissions involve submitting the pages (URLs) of your website to the major
online directories- including Yahoo! and the Open Directory - so that your
site may be included within their database of Web pages. Yahoo! is a paid
directory with significant market share. The Open Directory supplies
FREE results for many spider-based engines. Therefore, ensuring that your
website is listed within these directories, among others, is critical to
obtaining maximum visibility.
Directories are human-edited search properties. The goal in
directory submissions is to have the pages of your website included in the
directory database with minimal editing by directory editors. Achieving this
goal requires significant directory research and analysis to
determine:
The most relevant categories that apply to submitted content
The development of
keyword-rich site titles
Descriptions for the directory
listing
Editor's unique preferences
Directory submissions can also act as inbound links for our website leading to ranking within the search engines for important key terms.
