How much do you know about SEO? Did you know that the more links you get to your website the more popular your site will be with the search engines? What most people don’t understand about SEO (search engine optimization) is that the amount of links don’t matter, the quality of the links do. With that in mind it is not a natural process to only get links from article directories, blog comments, forum posts, and things like that, you need to mix it up.
What most people don’t realize is that mixing up the links that point back to your site will not only make it much stronger but they will also help you get a diverse group of traffic to your site as opposed to just the same people over and over again. For a lot of people they consider using a link directory to get their links building going and this is a great idea. The best part about a link directory is they are fast to submit to and there are thousands of them out there that you can utilize.
Benefits of utilizing link directories for SEO purposes
Quick submissions – One of the benefits is that the submissions are very quick to do. The biggest problem with most link building methods is they take a while to do and that is why link directories are so beneficial to you. What you must understand is that link directories are very easy to do but the problem with fast submissions is if you do too many in one day then your site will look spammy and it will possibly get flagged by the search engines. Trust me when I tell you that there has to be a happy medium when it comes to link building.
Simple to understand – One great benefit is they are very simple to understand. Have you ever tried to submit a link to an article directory and they keep denying you simply because you don’t have enough words, you didn’t provide tags, the title was in all caps, and things like that? This is one thing that will not take place in regards to link directories.
Decent results – Link directories might not be the best links available right now but the good thing is they still have some power in the online world. What you must understand is a link directory is not going to send you thousands of visitors every month. The main reason a link directory should be used is for SEO purposes, not for traffic directly from the link directory.
Great start – As I said before, links should be built naturally and over a number of different methods. If you are building links from link directories, blog comments, forum posts, and article marketing then you will have a very strong position in the search engines when all the links get picked up.
Just remember that you will have to get out there and see which web link directory will work best to start with. Remember that there is more than just one website directory out there so hurry and get started so your link can be on each and every one of them.
