Web Directories

Submitting to directories is a great way to receive traffic and increase your link popularity. They work in a similar way to search engines. It is essential that you submit your website into an appropriate directory and category within that directory so that you will be receiving focused traffic. Some directories have no listing fee, while others will require payment or a reciprocal link. It's good to list your site with all the free directories, but would not be worth while to list your site with all the fee based web directories. We have devised an easy step by step system to get your site listed, and see if it's worth paying any fees. As some directories require a reciprocal link you may first want to follow our Link Partners section step 1 if you don't already have a link partners page setup.

Step 1. Preparing to submit

Before submitting to the directories you need to prepare and make sure you have all the details you'll need ready. This includes sorting out your keywords, and descriptions of varying lengths. In step 2 we provide you with a Spreadsheet submission template. This will guide you through submission to each directory, and help you keep all your submission information in one place. For those of you who are not members, here is a sample taken from the directory submission template for gathering the submission information. If you are a member continue to step 2 and download the main directory submission template.
