Back in the days ‘Archie’ was not the most popular search engine, ‘getting your site ranked’ was not a well-understood phrase. In fact, the whole concept of search engine optimizing (SEOing) your website was just in its infancy. However, today, if your site is not ‘found’ by a major search engine, you might as be the proverbial needle in the haystack.
One concept was raking your site that has emerged (and is still evolving) powerfully is submission to web directories. Well, go ahead and do optimize your site for search engines, but you still need an seo tool to give you the extra edge. That’s where listing in a number of web directories can help be ‘found’.
It works really simple, and in tqo ways. To get ‘weighted’ by a search engine, you need ‘votes’ or back links. The web directories give you a back link for free. In other words, you submit your site to a thousand directories, you a thousand back links. Secondly, your site will be systematically listed, as in a directory, so chances of surfers finding a site in your niche become multi-fold.
To make things easier for you, you also get free SEO tools to automate your submissions to directories. All you need to do is type out just once the name nd the URL of your site, plus a small description, and the auto submitter does the rest for you. It’s time to find out and be found!
