Submission to Internet Directrories

Internet Direcories are normally edited by humans and as a result the submission process is very important. In general you would navigate to the category which best fits your website and then select the link to submit your site. A form is completed which is sent to the Directory editor, who will then check the website which has been suggested and if suitable add the new website to the directory. A payment may be involved.

Why is it important to be listed in Internet Directories?

Internet Directories will provide you with a number of benefits:

  • Potential visitors browsing the Directory may follow the hyperlink to your web site
  • Search engines often crawl directories to gather the results for their searches
  • As Directories are checked by humans search engines sometimes weight listings from certain directories as they are assumed to be more reliable
  • Directory results are often passed to third parties who use those results in their own search engines or directories

Submitting to Internet Directories

If you don't submit a website to a Directory it is highly unlikely that the editor will ever find your website and add it to the directory.

Why use a Professional Search Engine Submission Service?

First of all it is important to select the right category for your web site to be listed in. TNC can help you with this process.

Secondly, it is important during the submission process that you carefully word your request. The wording of the entry can have a significant impact upon the amount of traffic that you obtain from the directory. The wording needs to both reflect what you are offering and encourage the visitor to follow the hyperlink to your web site. Most Directories have criteria in the way that the titles and descriptions are written. Well written text which conforms to their criteria is unlikely to be edited by the editor. By making a good job of writing the submission text you maximise the chance of getting an entry which closely resembles your requirements. TNC is also skilled in this area.
