How will I know whether my sites have actually been submitted?
Most directories send a email acknowledging that your site has been submitted to their directory. We will enter your email when submitting your website, you will receive these emails.
 
 
Are all the directories in your list seo friendly?
Yes, all the directories on our list are seo friendly. Our list of directories are constantly verified and any directories not meeting the criteria are removed.
 
 
How long will the submission take?
It will take 1-2 days for each 100 directories submitted.
 
 
What are Directories?
Directories are human-edited search properties. Because the sites in Directories are reviewed by people and complied by subject category, they are considered a relevant, focused and topic specific source of credible information.
 
 
What are some benefits, submitting to Directories?
* It's a fast and afforable way to get one way-links.
* They generate traffic for your website.
* You attract buyers in your industry.
* Good place to find promotional partners.
 
 
How long will it take for my site to be listed in the search engines?
The site inclusion process varies from one search engine to another. Some search engines will list your site as soon as you confirm your submission by clicking a link in the conformation e-mails that they send you. Others have human editors who review individual submissions and decide which ones to list and which ones to reject. Most search engines take one to ten weeks to list new sites.
 
 
How often should I submit my sites?
In many cases you need to submit your site only once. However, not all search engines and directories will accept your submission the first time. Some drop listing after a period of time. Therefore, we recommend that you submit your site every month to achieve optimal exposure.
 
 
Should I submit every page of my site?
Generally, you need to submit only the home page of your site. Major search engines have robots that will follow links from your homepage and index all your subpages. Some search engines and directories may interpret submissions of multiple pages from a single site as spam. Therefore, we recommend that you submit only your homepage and a few of your most important subpages.
 
 
Will search engines ban my site if I submit more than once?
If that were the case then unscrupulous webmasters could simply submit their competitors's websites to Yahoo ten times a day to get them banned. If your site is already listed on a search engine, subsequent submissions would be ignored.
 
 
What are the differences between search engines and web directories?
Web directories generally list links by categories and subcategories. Most web directories could also have search boxes, but a visitor could also follow categories and subcategories to find links to her relevant to his or her interest.Search engines often have robots that crawl and index sites on the web, whereas web directories use categories and subcategories to list sites, their pages are often crawled and indexed by the search engines robots. This is the reason why having your site listed on web directories is an effective tool to build your link popularity.
 
 
What is link back listing?
In a link back listing, directories add a link to your website or webpage. These, apart from offering you the best visibilty, greatly enhance the ranking of your page.
 
 
Where do you find the directories on your list?
We search the most popular SEO friendly, free directory lists out there. Then we run our own Page Rank checking script to independently verify the Page Ranks. We then verify that the directories are still accepting free submissions and are not paid or reciprocal.
 

Can I use multiple titles and descriptions?
Yes, you may use one set of titles/descriptions per every 100 submissions. For example if you ordered the 300 package, you can use 3 different titles/descriptions.


What happens if I have already submitted my site to one of the directories on your list?
If we see that you are already listed at that directory, we will skip it and move on to the next one.


How can I make sure I get the maximum acceptance rate?
1. Always use the email address associated with your domain in your submission form.
2. Double check your spelling before sending us your form. We try to catch spelling errors, but please check before submitting.
3. Choose your categories and keywords carefully.
4. Don't stuff your titles and description with repetitive keywords. Directory owners tend to reject these.
