Being careful when submitting to directories.



Directories as we know can be used to increase link popularity

and get your site indexed . But directory submmission can also

hurt .



Here are a few things to remember when submitting to

directories.







1. The number of directories you are submitting to .



If it is Over 50 , then it may create suspicion that you are

using some sort of software to boost your link popularity .



"Sites with high PR" are on a regular visit by search engines

than "others".



Their text , links etc. are all taken into account faster. The

higher the PR , the more it is noted.



Submission to many at the same time triggers this . Even if you

submitted to 100 and only 20 approved and displayed your link in

one day , 20 the second day and 20 again on third day , 60 links

in three days could trigger this . Plus the second day you will

submit to another 100 . Calculate it.



I personally seek and prefer submitting to new directories

because they are "gradually" indexed and your link is not

crowded between another 40 links. Today or tomorrow the page

will pick a PR.



2. The text displayed in link .



Even if you are getting 20 links everyday let's say naturally ,

then it is sure that people are using different text in their

links. When submitting to directories , have a set of titles

like "html editor" , "SSS12 html editor", "html editor with

features", "Feature rich html editor", etc.



Each is different but each has your keywords. This reduces

chances of penalty.



On a side note that is a very tough keyword and I am not in

SERP's for that.



3. Submit to only directories which you think do not use BH

tech.



If you hire a firm to manage directory submission for you ,

then most have a list of quality directories . Softwares are

only collection of any found .



May be when a directory was added to a software , it was good

but you don't know what happenned later .Couldn't say if it

linked to a bad site and dropped it's PR or got penalised.



Fine if penalised because now you know it is linking to a bad

neighbour but if it dropped PR , you will still think that this

a good directory. You don't know it was better but now suffers a

penalty. You will only see a PR. ( Google PR : A reflection of a

good site ).



Good Directory submmission firms I think would know that

because they are on a regular visit to directories and would

note the drop in PR.



No problem submitting to a directory like this but what if you

are asked to have a reciprocal link ???



And most old directories ask for that. New ones don't because

they want to have a database first.



New sites of people who know a little seo will pick PR anyway

and the link is one way!



4. Are you asked to place a reciprocal link ?



Should I explain it ?



Best wishes for your site.
