Are your submissions performed using an automated script?
No, our submissions are done manually. We may use tools to speed up the repetitive typing process
but a person visits each and every directory and selects the most appropriate category.
The category URL is then included in the report that we provide you after submissions are
complete.
What payment methods do you accept?
See our payment options.
Do you guarantee that our site will be listed in all the directories
you submit to?
Not at all. We monitor the directories that we submit to and change our list constantly.
Sites that are no longer adding free listings are removed frequently.
The quality of your site, your industry and the quality of your submission information
can affect your approval rate. The final decision is up to the directory editor.
How will I know what directories my site has been submitted to?
Once submissions have been completed, we will provide you with a report that includes
a list of directories, the date and exact category submitted to.
What if I have already submitted to some directories?
When we submit your site, the directory will inform us if your site is already submitted.
We will substitute that directory with another from our submissions list. Feel free
to inform us if you have a list of directories that you do not want us to submit to.
Do you submit to dmoz.org?
We no longer submit to DMOZ. Based on our experience, clients prefer to submit to DMOZ
themselves. DMOZ is a unique directory that often takes years to get in. A second submission
could put you at the end of the line. Special care should also be taken in creating
your title
and descriptions for DMOZ submission.
How long will it take?
We usually complete submissions in 2-5 days, but times vary based on our workload. If you choose the "Slow submission" option we
will submit your site to 50 to 100 directories a week.
What type of sites can be submitted?
We accept most sites. Please consult our quality guidelines. Sites must be in the English language as the directories we submit to are English.
Some submission services submit to 500 or even 1000 directories. Why do you submit to
fewer directories?
We can easily submit to 1000 directories but we eliminate directories that are not truly SEO friendly.
The size of our list is limited by the following factors:
- we ensure that the directories are SEO friendly (pass PageRank from the main listing page).
- we submit to only one directory from the same IP or IP C class.
- we removed directories that do not regularly approve free submissions.
- we don't submit to directories with questionable practices.
Is it possible to get penalized for gaining too many links too fast?
Most of the new links you receive will be indexed by the Search engines over the
next month or two. The sites we submit to vary from PR5 to PR0. With free directories,
your site is often listed on many new pages that may not get crawled for weeks. Approvals
occur anywhere from the the first day to 2 months later.
There is always chance that directory submissions can have negative effects but I have
not seen it with my own sites yet. In my opinion it is far riskier purchasing high
PR links. If your site is fairly new, I would suggest not doing any advertising in
the weeks that follow your submissions.
Are submissions to PR0 directories worthwhile?
Yes they are. Your chances of having your site approved are much better with the directories
that are just starting up. You can also get a good spot in your category. These sites
will gain PR as time goes by. Many of them could become high quality paid directories,
thus providing you with a free link.
How long should my titles and descriptions be?
There is no exact answer but titles should generally be: 2-5 words and descriptions
should be 100-250 characters. See also our tips
for improving your approval rates.
Should I remove my PPC ads at the time of submissions?
Removing Adsense type ads will increase your approval rate, especially if you have pages have
more PPC ads than content or if the ads are in the prime page locations. We would recommend
removing some ads, at least from your home page, for 2-4 weeks. See also our tips
for increasing your approval rates.
