The main purpose of manual directory submission is to get back-links from the directories. Probably it’s the sole purpose also as you don’t expect to get traffic from web directories. there aren’t many people who searches directories to search for a site. They would rather use search engines for that.

OK, let us suppose that you have submitted your web site to several directories. If you have ever done so you should know that the directories take several weeks to several months to approve a submission. DMOZ, the open source directory, seems to take forever to approve a submission. So, you have to wait for some time before you could expect your site URL, title and description to appear in the web directories. Allow 4 weeks after you have received the submission report from the directory submission service you hired to outsource your submission job. By the way, it’s a better idea not to use the keyword or key phrase only as your submission title. For example, if your site is about article writing, the title could be like this – Affordable Article Writing Services. Not only it is an acceptable title it also allows you to find that how many back links you have got from the submission. So, what exactly do you need to do ?

Supposing http://www.myarticlewritingsite.com/ is your web site address, do a web search in Google with the following – "Affordable Article Writing Services" "http://www.myarticlewritingsite.com/". Make sure that you do a "phrased" search which means that you keep the keywords inside "".  The search will immediately return with results which will show the submissions that are already indexed by Google. Keep doing it from time to time ( twice every month) and you will discover the web directories which have your links and have been indexed by Google.

If you are not a complete newbie in the internet marketing arena you should have known by now that the in order to get free traffic you have to depend on the search engines like Google, Yahoo and MSN or Live.com. Search engines crawl your sites and index them. whenever a searcher searches search for a topic by typing one of the keywords around which we have created your web site or blog, the search engine returns with several search result. You goal is to be among the top 10 of those search results. Easier said than done. But you can do it. Yes, with sincere effort you can beat all your competitors to the first page of any search engine, if not achieve the top position. It depends on your targeted keywords, your contents and whether you have optimized your web site for the search engines. SEO is vital. It’s the backbone of free organic traffic.

You have to make sure that your web site or blog is optimized. You need both on-page and off-page SEO for all your web pages and blog posts. Selection of keywords and using them effectively throughout your web pages – that’s on-page optimization for you in a nutshell. You should utilize your web page meta tags to the fullest extent especially the Title tag and the Description tag. Your main content should also contain your keywords and key-phrases you are targeting. The search engine spider follows a typical pattern when it crawls your web pages. You should design your web site to take full advantage of it.

New Service added : Press Release Submission service.

Submitting press releases to the media about your website is a great way to have links back to your website. You can submit press releases to broadcast any information about your website which is newsworthy to the internet community. There are several press release distributors where you can submit the press release – both paid and free. Submitting a press release often helps to drive more traffic to a website and will also provide you with back-links to your site as well.

And there’s more in the pipeline. I’m going to roll out more services in the near future.

Everything has changed at submitatonce.com except for the price and quality of service. So, our clients will continue to get the directory submission and other submission services at rock bottom services as always.

The purpose of website submission is twofold. Firstly to gain one way backlinks for your site and secondly to get free traffic for your site. And both can be achieved if done in a correct way. So, what’s the correct way to do it ? Do it manually. No Search engines, Web Directories or Article Directories like automatic submission by software programs. They call it spamming and often take steps to stop this. Better submit it manually or hire a manual submission service to do it for you.

Now what are the resources where you can submit your website blog, articles or press releases? Let’s take a look at all of them but one at a time.

Directory Submission : There are hundreds of web directories where you can submit your web site. Web directories are very good resources and you should always look to use it to your advantage. There are thre kinds of submissions available – free, reciprocal and paid. I suggest that you always go with the free ones in spite of the fact that they may take some time to approve your submission. And make sure that you have selected the most appropriate category while submitting.

Article Submission : You can submit an article to the numerous article directories and ezines available all over the internet. Typical articles have ‘anchor texts’ hyperlinked to your original site and serve as excellent backlinks. Here’s what EzineArticles.com has to say while talking about the benefits of article submission – “Surges in Traffic to Your Website Like No Other Site Can Deliver:
This is caused by the ezine publishers who come to our site throughout the year to pick up quality articles for their email newsletter or website in addition to our end-user base of millions of people who are looking to immediately benefit from your expertise. When your articles get picked up for reprints, you will often get a surge of traffic as your articles are introduced to their email list members or audience.” Absolutely, that’s how it works.

Submitting to Social Bookmarking sites : Social bookmarking is the newest area for you to explore. Here you could create one-way back-links to your website. Just bookmark your sites in social bookmarking sites like Digg, Technorati etc. and if others find your site to be interesting enough, they will add your site to their list of bookmarked sites and you will gain a huge number of one-way links for your site with as little effort as it requires. And it does generate instant free traffic to your site at the same time.

Press Release Submission – This is another powerful yet under utilized resource. It can effortlessly produce hundreds of qualified backlinks for your website. Whenever you introduce a new feature on your website or make an important blog post, do a press release on it. Press releases are very effective for website promotion and also for creating loads of high quality one-way links. Write a press release about any new or unique feature of your website and submit the release to various press release sites. Press release sites regularly syndicate their content through RSS and Atom feeds and many leading news sites fetch their content from all these press release sites. So you may expect a very good response from doing a single press release. And you can do it as soon as you come up with new ideas or features which is worth sharing with the internet community.

Apart from these resources you can also try commenting on blog posts, posting in reputed forums as well as social networking sites like myspace.com. Put your link where ever you can. Try to be innovative. Have you ever thought of using Yahoo Answers as a resource. Try it out – it may just prove to be a gold mine in the near future. And the same thing goes with Web 2.0 – it may just change the internet we know.

I hope the above mentioned methods will help you to earn all important backlinks for your site and at the same time push you up in the search engine result pages. One thing I’d like to mention here is while submitting you should always try to use your targeted and theme keywords as anchor texts for your backlinks as the major search engines put so much importance on the anchor text links pointing to your website. Good Luck.

Well, in both the cases you have to invite Google to your web site. And invitations should be frequent.

Wait, don’t even think for a while that I am suggesting you to submit your site to Google repeatedly. It’s an absolute “No No”.

What I am trying to say is leaving your web site links in different places ( read web sites ) in the world wide web such that Google can follow it and land up in your site. I am not talking about sending emails and asking other sites to link back to you. I am talking about how you can achieve this yourself.

So, how you can post links to web sites that Google frequently visits ? And which are the web sites anyway ?

Here’s a quiz for you to answer -

1. Name one Blog that Google may like most of all.

2. Name a couple Forums that Google visits frequently.

3. Name a community sites that Google may prefer.

4. If you have a short video, where do you post it ?

5. Name 3 big directories other than Yahoo and Dmoz.

6. If you have an article, which are the directories you should consider to post it ?

7. Can you name some other sites that Google is likely to visit more frequently ?

I encourage you to find the answers yourself. I know you can do it.

But if you don’t, come back tomorrow and check it out.

Till then,

Do you optimize your web site yourself ? Or someone does it for you ?

What ever the case may be, make sure that you have inserted some nice images in your web pages. Your visitors are going to love it and when I say visitors I definitely GoogleBot as well.

But the famous Google Robot ( or spider, as you may call it) cannot view the images on your site, it can only read the text. This is a great opportunity. Take full advantage of it. How ? Let’s take this example – have a look at the image below

Today I want to share with you a nice little tool which allows you to find out your exact position in the Google Search Engine Ranking Pages or SERP.

Do you have a website of your own ? Hope you have got it optimized for the search engines already. If not you can start right now. The tips i am giving here is very contemporary and surely will help you rank high with the search engines.

Here are a dozen of killer SEO techniques (I love to call them as Extreme SEO Techniques)that I strongly recommend you to
follow when it comes to optimizing your web site.

1. Select 8 most appropriate keywords for your site,
2. Write the title tag using those keywords.
3. Write a short meta description based on those keywords as well.
4. Make sure the head area of your web page is not too deep.
5. The body of the web document should start with a H1 tag.
6. H2, H3 tags should follow shortly.
7. Do not forget to use the ‘Alt’ attribute for the images.
8. Before using the images on your site rename them using your
keywords like keyword1.jpg or keyword2.gif etc.
9. If your site is layer based use your keywords to name the div id.
10. And use them to name every table and form you use inside your
web page.
11. Do not name web pages as about.html. Rather make it like
about-dog-training.html or about-email-services.html.
12. Name the directories based on your keywords. For example, if you
have a directory called ‘company’ and if your site is about web
designing, then rename the directory as ‘web-design-company’.

Notice that the techniques I used here are on-page seo techniques. To learn everything about off-page and off-page SEO terchniques download this seo e-book for free.

Good Luck.

For directories that ask for Reciprocal Link Exchanges make a separate link page and place the links in that page. Please don’t jeopardize your quest for higher page rank by placing all sorts of links from your home page. If your site is about ‘Interior Designing’ you should not place a ‘Dog Training’ web site link on your Home page. That will be a blunder.

I have already said enough about Free listings in my earlier posts. I encourage you to scroll down and check them out.

If you wish to do your submissions manually, you can use this SEO So/ftware for that purpose. It’s a FREE download. and it’s lot more than just directory submission.
