Directory submissions

By submitting your website to online directory categories which are relevant to your business, you can increase your search engine position for your chosen keyword

There are a couple of provisos. Firstly, the title that you submit to the directory should be one of the keywords you are trying to improve your search position for. Secondly, the directory must be "search engine friendly". By this we mean that the directory should have a direct link to your website using the title as the anchor text of your link. You can check this by placing your cursor over a directory link and checking the status bar to see where the link goes.

Directory submissions are the bread and butter technique used for improving search engine position. It is an ongoing, often tedious but necessary process used to improve your search ranking.
