Directory submissions
Whatever you may have heard, directories can still be valuable for your linkbuilding. Don’t expect lots of traffic but if you do it mostly for linkbuilding purposes, directory links will eventually make you rank in Google and other search engines. Every now and then you might stumble upon a directory that actually sends you visitors. You can submit your site to all those directories by hand but it’s a lot faster to use a submission service.
Don’t submit your site to DMOZ or the Yahoo directory (yet). Changes are very slim that they’ll list a new site. It’s better to wait a couple of months, create a lot of valuable content in the meantime, and not to upset the editor. Your chances of being accepted after a few months are a lot better and the link value it gives are definitely worth the wait.
