What is directory Submission?
Today submission of websites to web directories is considered a common SEO (search engine optimization) technique to get back-links for the submitted web site. One distinctive feature of 'directory submission' is that it cannot be fully automated like search engine submissions.
What are the uses of Directory Submissions?
Directory submissions give you one-way linksSearch engines give importance to the number of inbound links to your site and from web directories you get one-way inbound links. Web directories, while including your links, don’t expect you to put their link on your website. Search engines discourage link-exchange tactics but they consider one-way inbound links with high regard.
Directory submissions allow the anchor text of your choiceWhen you submit your links to web directories they allow you to enter a site title
(site title is different from the URL) that can contain your keywords. This generates SEO anchor text for you and this helps you improve your search engine rankings.
Directory submissions are mostly free
Yes, you don’t have to pay for most of the web directory submissions. There are some highly professional web directories that charge a high premium for adding your links but their number is miniscule compared to free directories.
Directory submissions send you targeted traffic
The organization of web directories make people find the right links under the right categories. Even if you, inadvertently of course, submit your link under a wrong category, there is a great possibility that the human editor will place your link under the correct category.
What is Social bookmarking?
Social bookmarking is a way for people to store, organize, search, and manage “bookmarks” of web pages. Users save links to web pages that they like or want to share, using a social bookmarking site to store these links.
Benefits of Social Book Marking:
There are 10 benefits for doing social bookmarking they are,
1. You have an option allowing the bookmarking site to pull your current bookmarks from your computer and transfer them to their site. This makes it easy to get your favorite sites online without a lot of tedious catch up work.
2.You can set it up so the site sends you a notification for specific tags to let you know when someone on the network creates a bookmark using that same tag. This keeps you completely current on any tag you’re interested in.
3. Other users around the globe can see your bookmarks online and making your site hyper‐visible.
4. You can access your bookmarks and all the features of your bookmarking account from any computer that has internet access, giving you complete portability and security—you never have to worry about losing information you have bookmarked.
5. It is a social bookmarking because you can interact with other users to share bookmarks, send messages and comment on content. Therefore, you become part of a trusted community of people sharing similar interests, leading you to more applicable content than search engines are capable of because search engines lack the human element. More importantly, from a marketing perspective, your site is viewed by this community as a trusted resource.
6. At one time, all social bookmarking sites gave you one way links which the search engines recognized and which helped you build Google Page Rank. But some of the social bookmarking sites today instruct Google not to follow the links leading away from their site. Any link created on these sites is called a no follow link. Because a few of the larger bookmarking sites have done this, it has dissuaded some less informed online marketers from wanting to enter into social bookmarking. But this attitude is misguided.
7. Social bookmarking is still an amazing resource for building links and Page Rank. For starters, many high‐ranking social bookmarking sites do not use nofollow links, so your links are counted. Also, there are experts who believe Google may weigh the nofollow links in one form or another in their search algorithm. Their reasoning is that even though Google doesn’t follow the links, your webpage address still shows up as part of the link text and this could be beneficial.
8. On top of this—and many would argue more importantly—you build links and Page Rank indirectly by building popularity for your site within the social bookmarking communities. As you provide useful, relevant content, many website and blog owners will want to link to your site from theirs as a service to their visitors. There is also rumor on the street that the search engine giants may begin factoring social bookmarking link popularity into their search algorithms. Any way you look at it, it is clear that social bookmarking is a critical part of your link building strategy.
9. Following are some of the most popular social bookmarking sites used today. You may recognize the name of a few, but it’s possible that you never knew they fell into the category of social bookmarking sites.
