The core of any online business marketing strategy is to increase the visibility online. It takes a decent amount of time and effort to drive traffic to a website.

These not only help in getting direct traffic to the website, but also help in improving the search engine rankings, as search engines pay a lot of weightage to incoming links from other websites. There are many ways to achieve good links for a website. One is direct link building, which, if done professionally and with certain quality parameters, like the ones we follow at VantageWebtech, can benefit a lot to increase the traffic and search engine rankings.

Another way, which has to go side by side with the link building, is to opt in for directory submissions. Web Directories have been on the internet for quite some time now. The ever growing Yahoo! started its life on the internet as the biggest and the best organized web directory, and probably it retains that position today as well. Before the search engines, web directories were a big source of finding relevant websites on the internet. They are quite different from search engines as they do not send crawlers across the web to look for the websites, but rely on manual submissions by webmasters or users which is then sent to a team which then take a look at the site to categorize it and check its quality and relevancy before adding it to the directory in the appropriate categories and sub-categories.

Directories are not used much now to find the websites, however there is still a reason why we need directory submissions. Because its humans who check the relevancy and informational “worth” of a site before adding it to the directory, certain search engines do rely on this process being carried out for them. While everyday people do not use these directories (other than specific directories) to find specific websites, spiders do regularly crawl through them to find out better indexed websites.

We at VantageWebtech, understand the importance of directory submissions and are offering 50 FREE DIRECTORY submissions with 100 links that you order from us.
