Internet Directory Listings Increases Your Site's Visibility

Our search engine optimization strategies include submission of your site to the primary search engine directories. While the line between search engine and directory has been blurred, directory listings can increase your site's overall importance as well as be an avenue of additional targeted internet traffic to your website.

Our directory submission process provides industry and site research to ensure your site complies with each directory guidelines and is submitted to the most appropriate category. We take your targeted keywords into account as we build the submission title and descriptions for each directory. We thoroughly analyze possible categories to find those that will allow the search engines to assign increased relevance for your primary keyword phrases.

Directories: The Yellow Pages Of The Internet

Internet directories operate differently from search engines and more like a phone book. Instead of sites being spidered for indexing, as search engine's do, with directories, sites are submitted to specific directory categories. Web surfers often times can search the directory, however they are encouraged to click through categories (i.e. Business, Education, News, etc.) and then sub-categories until they find the category that most specifically meets their criteria. From here they are provided a list of sites that fit that category, generally shown in alphabetical order.

When a search is performed at a directory results are first gathered from the directory database providing category links or relevant sites found in the directory before pulling from external search engine databases. There are exceptions to this, when a directory serves results powered by a search engine first, however even when this is the case, if the top ranked sites are also listed in the directory where the search is performed, that listing will be called out to give it additional prominence.

Another important aspect of directory listings is to increase your site's overall prominence in general search engine results. It is a known fact that search engines such as Google routinely browse through the online directories and follow links to the websites listed. If your site is placed in an active directory category it is likely that the search engine will follow that link to your site and index or re-index your pages.

This specifically becomes relevant because many search engines count the number of links pointing to your site when assigning relevancy for your keywords. Links from important sites such as the online directories transfer a higher importance to your site than other links from other websites. The "every link counts" philosophy goes a very long way when it comes to battling it out for those coveted top positions, with directories providing increased weight.
