Submitting your website to online directories
May 21, 2013
Submitting your website to online directories can greatly improve your website’s online visibility and help market your website. There are two important benefits of using directories: high quality back-links and increased online exposure.
A large number of high quality back-links will show search engines that your website contains quality information that people find relevant. Getting those back-links from directories should increase your website’s ranking on search engines and improve your website’s visibly.
Unlike search engines, directories hire real people to approve websites that will appear within their listings. This results in a better database of companies that people (as well as search engines) can rely on.
Below is a list of online directories that you should submit your website to. Some directories are US only.
