Google and Website Directories
Even though there are many articles outlining the benefits of directory submissions, some are out of date and a lot of people think that directory submissions have no real benefit what so ever. Every time google updates there algorithm seo experts try to figure out what has been altered and the one thing that is still favoured by google is directory submissions.
Directory submissions alone can help increase your search engine position and improve your pagerank. Before you submit your website to a directory you need to first check to see if google gives any real credit to that directory, if it does your link will be picked up and given its appropriate value. There’s several things to look for when choosing a website directory, I will cover several of the main points you should look for.
Firstly you need to check to see if google likes that directory and how much. A good way to find out is by performing a simple pagerank check to see how much google favours that website. There are many free websites that supply a free pagerank lookup tool and you can find them by searching for “pagerank checker” on any of the search engines.
The second important thing you must check is how many pages are indexed in google as there’s no point submitting your website to a category that isn’t being indexed. Sometimes a website can be assigned a pagerank but not have all its pages indexed. There’s an seo tool called seoelite which is capable of finding this information out and more.
The third most important factor to consider is how much traffic that website directory receives, if that directory receives a lot of traffic then there is a good chance a small portion will convert. Even if your website only receives a small amount of traffic from these website directories it will still be targeted, the more targeted traffic your website receives the better it will do. There’s a free website called alexa.com which checks and monitors traffic of many websites over a period of time.
You could even go as far as finding out what websites link to that particular directory and perform checks on them individually. This can be a long and hard process, that is why directorysubmissions.eu have spent the last six months checking thousands of directories with a team of professionals and provide a top of the range seo directory submissions service.
