2. Page Rank :: Well directories have Grey bar or PR 0 or PR 1+ and this is very very important. Getting 100 High PR submissions is far better than getting 1000 PR Grey Bar/PR 0 but dont underestimate low PR directories too.

3. Types of Directories submission procedure:: Many popular directories have "submission by category", its where you tunnel down to the deepest relevant directory before you could access the submission form. Thats a tough task and most of the people would avoid it since its time consuming, though it may be an important directory.

4. Errors in Submission:: There are lots of errors that could occur during submission
Guidelines violation
Not adhering with the character limits
"Title is not unique in the parent category"
"Category full, use sub-category"
"No-Follow attribute" submission options
URL already exists. It might have been submitted in wrong category.

5. Niche Specific/Regional submission/Deeplink Submissions:: Dont under-estimate the importance of these two. If you dont have time to submit all, atleast take your own time to do niche specific submissions.

6. Bannable words:: There are some predefined words that should be avoided like replica, duplicate, illegal etc.

7. Mail Activation:: Many directories require you to click on activation links in Mail

8. Directories that is sure to approve:: How to find out? Thats difficult. But one thins can be done which I have been doing. Always search for "approved" mails and do some parsing and other techniques and find out via Mr G that which are the directories that have approved the links that submitted. So collect them and give them more importance next time.

Great post. Email confirmation and Niche submission, both are very important things to be kept in mind while submitting to directories. Otherwise there won't be any output for this work.

Thanks a lot for suggestions.It is very important to do directory submissions by keeping these tips in mind.

this are the best and very useful tips to submit links in directory.

Tips are good, but majority of the directories have error on their sites, this is very disappointing. I have spent 10-15 min on a directory but at the end it give an error

Yes,you are absolutely right.Due to this problem I have prevented the directory submission.Sometimes there is also the problem of having the list of same IP,it is also not beneficial for the same keyword and url.

Nicely explained. One more thing. If there is showing Title is not unique in parent category. Can use space between the anchor text and try again for submitting. It will be accepted.

Relevant submission is the only way to get backlink form a directory.
