Manual Directory Submissions Improve Search Engine Rankings
Manual Directory Submission
Directory submissions have become an essential tool to properly market a bussiness's goods and services.
Our Methods
At Beachstar Inc. we are determined to see that your marketing efforts online generate results. Our directory submission methods are all white hat. In other words we don't try any sneaky tactics to get your website indexed in the top results for the major search engines.
Directory submissions are performed with one goal in mind: to get your website ranked higher on Google search engine results.
The goal of submitting your website to directories is to get one way inbound links from other website. However, there is a right way and a wrong way to submit your website to directories. When Google search engine spiders scour the web, they count the number of one way incoming links to your website. Each incoming link is seen as a vote of a popularity for your website but all votes or links are not given equal importance when Google is deciding where to place your website in its rankings for your keywords.
Page Rank
It is important to have in bound links pointing to your website from popular websites with high page ranks. For example, it is better to have inbound links from a page rank 4 website then a page rank 1 website. Every link from a page rank 4 website will count a lot more then links from page rank 1 websites.
Relevance
In bound links to your website should be coming from relevant websites and directory categories. If you own a flower shop then you don’t want incoming links from a directory category labeled “real estate”. These links from irrelevant categories won’t help your Google rankings very much.
Tags
The text within the tag of your incoming links is probably the most important element of building successful and effective inbound links. The tag is simply the clickable part of an in bound link. Here is an example of a directory submission that I have posted to hundreds of directories, pointing back to Beachstar Inc.:
Florida SEO

The tag text of the above directory submission is “Florida SEO”. The tag text is what Google uses to determine what keywords to rank your website for. In this case I chose Florida SEO because it get about a 1000 unique searches every month and I saw that it had a medium amount of competition. Currently, Beachstar Inc ranks number 4 in the organic search results for this phrase. In the next 3 months, with continued directory submissions, I expect to take the number spot.
Vary Your Text Tags
It is important that you don’t submit your website to directories using only one or two keyword phrases. Google will view this as cheating and will actually lower ranking for that keyword. For this reason it is best to use 8 to 10 different keyword phrases and descriptions when submitting to directories. You can determine which keyword phrases are most popular for your niche by visiting the tools section of Google Adwords and doing a keyword search. You can also use Niche Watch, which is a free tool that ranks your website against the competition for your chosen keywords.
Automatic Directory Submissions Versus Manual Directory Submissions
It is always best to do your directory submissions manually. Most good, high quality, directories have captchas that require you to enter a series of letters and numbers to determine that you are a human and not a spam bot. Automatic directory submissions sound great on paper but in the real world they are not very effective.
Keep It Up
It is important that you have a long term plan that you implement on a monthly basis to continue to improve your search engine rankings. It is recommended that you submit your website to at least 400 directories on a monthly basis depending on how competitive your niche is.
