Being careful when submitting to directories
Being careful when submitting to directories.
Directories as we know can be used to increase link popularity
and get your site indexed . But directory submmission can also
hurt .
Here are a few things to remember when submitting to
directories.
1. The number of directories you are submitting to .
If it is Over 50 , then it may create suspicion that you are
using some sort of software to boost your link popularity .
"Sites with high PR" are on a regular visit by search engines
than "others".
Their text , links etc. are all taken into account faster. The
higher the PR , the more it is noted.
Submission to many at the same time triggers this . Even if you
submitted to 100 and only 20 approved and displayed your link in
one day , 20 the second day and 20 again on third day , 60 links
in three days could trigger this . Plus the second day you will
submit to another 100 . Calculate it.
I personally seek and prefer submitting to new directories
because they are "gradually" indexed and your link is not
crowded between another 40 links. Today or tomorrow the page
will pick a PR.
2. The text displayed in link .
Even if you are getting 20 links everyday let's say naturally ,
then it is sure that people are using different text in their
links. When submitting to directories , have a set of titles
like "html editor" , "SSS12 html editor", "html editor with
features", "Feature rich html editor", etc.
Each is different but each has your keywords. This reduces
chances of penalty.
On a side note that is a very tough keyword and I am not in
SERP's for that.
3. Submit to only directories which you think do not use BH
tech.
If you hire a firm to manage directory submission for you ,
then most have a list of quality directories . Softwares are
only collection of any found .
May be when a directory was added to a software , it was good
but you don't know what happenned later .Couldn't say if it
linked to a bad site and dropped it's PR or got penalised.
Fine if penalised because now you know it is linking to a bad
neighbour but if it dropped PR , you will still think that this
a good directory. You don't know it was better but now suffers a
penalty. You will only see a PR. ( Google PR : A reflection of a
good site ).
Good Directory submmission firms I think would know that
because they are on a regular visit to directories and would
note the drop in PR.
No problem submitting to a directory like this but what if you
are asked to have a reciprocal link ???
And most old directories ask for that. New ones don't because
they want to have a database first.
New sites of people who know a little seo will pick PR anyway
and the link is one way!
4. Are you asked to place a reciprocal link ?
Should I explain it ?
Best wishes for your site.
