DIY SEO backlinks from 1000 directories!
When launching a new site or trying to promote it, a somewhat slow but cheap and effective method is to get backlinks to your website from directories. This means that you get a lot of one way incoming links which help with your search engine rankings. Sometimes the directories will charge for a listing, or require you to give a link back to them. Charging is ok (if you can afford it!) but link exchanges are now cast slightly in doubt as a method of safe search engine optimisation as Google and co can figure out that these are not natural links, and possibly penalise you accordingly. The internet is jam packed with website directories of all sorts, from specalist niche to gigantic all inclusive mammoths. It is possible to get SEO software to help you with the process of submitting links to directories but sometimes their list just isn’t big or good enough. You can also find various companies willing to submit to directories on your behalf, and these charge fees depending on the quality and number of links you want. However, if you’re a real cheapskate with a lot of free time then perhaps you’d like to check out this list of over 1000 directories which accept submissions. The list is a little out of date, but there is enough information on it for you to be able to make a good guess which ones are worth submitting to or not. So, here is it the directory submission list.
