Knowing Directory Submission

By Graham Birkland


The process of submitting your blog, website, or page to many online directories is called directory submission. Yellow pages and Google directory are specific examples.

Directory submission service continues to live in its purpose of enhancing the online exposure of a website, services, or a business. Indeed, the end result is very much for the benefit of your website since you can see an increase in the number of people being attracted to your website. The reason why customers visit your website is because they are potential Customers who need these services. You are then given bigger chance of making sales since more and more customers are likely attracted to visit your site.

Furthermore, directory submission service is divided into two types which you have to choose one. The first type is a manual submission of your page or site, termed as the manual directory submission. On the other hand, the second is named automatic directory submission, and this uses some software to submit the page. These two directory submission service processes can have lots of aspects you can learn. You can also find pros and cons to both sides. To have a clear idea on both aspects let us separately discussed each one.

Automatic Submissions: This is the type wherein you have to download software as this will be the one to automatically submit your website to various online directories quickly. Minimum time would be taken for the whole process to finish. You can also have someone to do this for you and simply pay him certain amount of money when you can hardly find time. There are websites companies on the internet which can do this job for you with very nominal fee. One specific advantage of automatic submission service is that it saves a lot of time of the submitter, unlike the manual submission of website. There are also other SEO aspects involved with automatic submission. However, you can also see some disadvantages with this type. Compared to manual submission, these submissions involved are a lot lower in quality. Also, the websites being submitted via automatic process are less likely to be traced and ranked by search engines and directories. And since they can easily bypass many important directories, software can be unreliable at times.

Manual Submission: In manual submission, you will have to do your visits on the directories one at a time. Then you submit your website or services manually by yourself. The manual operation can make you be sure of not missing any directory or if you have missed one then you can again go back and submit your business to that directory, thus not missing any opportunity at all. There are many websites or companies which offer directory submission service and they charge a nominal fee for that, thus solving your problem with the time consuming factor of the process. A very great advantage with this type is that your website can have a high probability to be accepted by directory and being indexed and ranked at higher place. The quality is indeed higher and a lot of potential customers will be visiting your website. And next would be its disadvantages. However, the time needed for this is much longer than the former. It is also more expensive compared to automatic directory submission. Finally, the work can be tiring.
