Increase your websites search engine results by using web directories
If you have a website and enjoy receiving traffic from search engines you'll be conscious of your websites position in search engine results. By promoting your website you can increase the position of your website in search engine results. One of the best ways of promoting your website is by submitting it to web directories.
Web directories are categorised lists of websites. Each site is listed in a category that suits its content. This ensures that each website in a category is of the same topic. The benefit to the listed website is that it has a link from a page about its topic. For search engines such as Google, MSN and Yahoo this is important. The number of links that point to a website (backlinks) goes some way to determining how important the website is. The subject of the page from which the link comes is also important. Because of these reasons web directories are a good way of gaining important backlinks.
Web directories offer free and paid listings. Most free listings take a while to be accepted, typically several weeks, and the listing will appear someway down the list. Paid listings are accepted more quickly, often within days, and normally ensures the listing appears at the top of the category.
