Internet directory listings are a great way of acquiring links for your site. I find that submissions are the best place to start promoting a new site. Web directories offer links for free, for a fee or in exchange for a link.

Free Listings

Free site submission is a great source of links. It's a great feeling getting your site listed on a high PR page, especially when it happens within a couple of days. On the other hand, free sites often have significant back logs and many may never get around to adding your link. The good free sites are out there and we help you find them.

Paid Listings

A paid web directory offers a premium service with faster approval times. To be successful, these sites must deliver good PageRank or high quality traffic. Since these sites are usually less crowded your link should make it onto a higher PR page.

General and Niche Directory Submission

Web Directory submission services can help you with the tedious task of submitting your website. There are two types of submission services available; automated and manual. An automated service uses a script to visit the directory and attempt to submit the site into an appropriate category. Often it does not succeed. It also submits to paid, reciprocal or inappropriate niche sites. Good directory owners despise these services and use a wide variety of methods to prevent their successful use.

A manual submission service visits each web directory and submits your site to the most appropriate category. They usually automate their process to make it more efficient but they do the actual submission by visiting each site, as you would at home. We now use our five years of directory knowledge to offer a quality, cost effective manual directory submission service. We also offer niche submissions services to article, blog, travel and real estate directories.
Search Engines: Never pay anyone to submit your site to the search engines. It's simply not necessary as all the big search engines will find your site as long as you have links to it.


The search engines are working towards giving more weight to links from related websites. For example, a travel website will benefit more from a link from another travel site. With that in mind, niche listings can provide you with great related links. In addition to getting a link on a "on topic" site, your website will usually be categorized with very similar sites.

Niche sites usually do a good job of sub-categorizing within the main topic area, making them more useful to the everyday user. As a result, you are much more like to get traffic from these sites. We have an extensive list of about 6000 niche directory listings over at our sister site.
