So you have completed that new site and want to start your
site promotion campaign by getting listed in some directories?
Well,definitely a good idea, because those directories will
provide you the initial thrust needed for visibility of your
web site. But then how do you find those directories to submit
your site to?
No need to despair! Help is at hand! , allow this simple 5
steps guide help you out with your campaign:
1. Check out your competitions back links. Your competition is
sure to have got links from some directories. Try to get into
those first.
2. Do a search in Google (the most obvious one!) using keywords
like 'submit+site+directory'. You will come up with many
directories for your site. And you can use your imagination to
come up with new combination of keywords for searching in Google.
3. Do a search in Google with "allintitle:webdirectory". I did a
search with these keywords and came up with some good directories. Or you can use "allinurl:webdirectory" also. The command "allintitle:webdirectory" shows those sites which have
"webdirectory" word in the site title. Similarly the command
"allinurl:webdirectory" shows those sites which have "web-
directory" in the site url.You can change "webdirectory" to
"internetdirectory" or any other keyword of your choice.
4. Visit various Search Engine related forums. In almost every
such forum you will find some threads discussing directory sub-
missions. Follow such threads ? dig deeper if needed! You will
be aptly rewarded with lists of many directories posted by members of these forums.
5. Visit some good directories like http://dmoz.org,
http://dir.yahoo.com, http://www.joeant.com, http://www.goguides.org and search for the 'directories' category. These prominent directories provides lists of other good directories on the net.
Follow these simple 5 steps to get directories on your left, right, everywhere and set your promotion campaign rolling!
Have fun hunting for directories!
