Website directories are structured as category based websites in which
people seek out to find websites that interest them based on a
category-based structure. The first website directory was started in
1995 and they have become a popular way to get exposure to your website
ever since with the most popular and hardest directory to get listed in
being DMOZ. In order to get listed in online directories, you must
submit information regarding your website such as title, description,
keywords, proper category, and other directory specific information they
are seeking. The specifications directories are seeking out vary on a
directory by directory basis. Once you submit your website to a given
directory, the directory will then review your website and decide
whether or not to approve it for inclusion in their directory or not.
Getting your website accepted into website directories has two benefits
that serve one primary purpose. Of initial importance is the purpose
which is to drive potential customers to your website. You have to get
potential customers rolling into your website in order to make a sale!
The first benefit to submitting to website directories is that when
people go to these websites to find a website based on a particular
category, your website shows up in the results, which is fantastic
targeted exposure. Secondly, through the inclusion of your website with
popular website directories, you are getting one way links back to your
website.
The significance of having these one way links back to your website from
website directories is that the next time google spiders / crawls
through the worldwide web and hits that directory, they will pick up the
fact that your website is now as a link to it from another website. The
ultimate outcome of this is that your website increases in organic
search engine ranking and thus becomes more visible to major search
engines like G0oogle and Yahoo.
