Thread: Directory submission tips

There are some tips while submitting directory submitting:

1. Confirmation Mails :: First and foremost, the buyers think that more the confirmation mails, the better is the submission.

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.

Nice read. Like the way you explained everything. PR is important to get higher PR. Then also submission to related pages is important as well; I guess submission to the proper category would take care of it sort of.

All tips are good but I would like to add one more important thing that make sure to have little variation in anchor text or title of your link while submitting it to directories and also don;t forget to have your main keyword
every time in your anchor text.

Whatever directory we have for submissions, we should check the status of it in Google i.e. info:, link:, site: commands.

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.

This is really useful while doing directory submissions.
