If you are looking for ways to generate traffic towards/into your site, then you have probably heard about directory submission. One of the most preferred methods/strategies of building links, directory submission is used by webmasters to increase the credibility of their website/s.

All the millions of websites out there, each one has common goals :to build a high reputation and get a lot of visitor/s. Reputation, in internet jargon can also be called as authority and is often gauged by the Google Page Rank (PR) or the position of the site in the search engine results page (SERPs).

Through link building, we mean having a link on one site which is pointing to your site that something redirects Google spiders from a certain site to get to your site. This is where submitting directory comes in. Most directory/ies are already human edited so someone actually checks what your site is all about and whether your description/s and category matches what you wrote in the submission form. Sometimes, if these do not match, editors might reject your site/s and you have to resubmit. Other websites will also require that you put an HTML link from your site to their site/s, making it a link exchange.
