Easily submit your sites to web directories using free softwares!

March 10th, 2008

Why is it important to list your website in web directories? Web directories were hot before the advent of search engines. Previously, people go to these directories to find quality websites, a potential referring traffic for web masters. However, these days, search engines made it easier for internet users to find what they’re looking for; directories were forgotten since then, sadly, even by webmasters.

SEO giants have long been stressing about the importance of building inbound links through web directories. Submitting your site to good and high-PR directories is one way of getting quality links that are highly valued by the search engines. Web directories are mainly human edited, thus a website must pass a strict criteria to get listed, hence quality links are only listed. These links are search engine friendly. Since they are organized in highly focused categories making them an invaluable resource for search engines to measure the quality and the relevance of a website.
