A web directory or link directory is a directory on the internet. It excels at providing reciprocal links to other web sites within highly specicalized categories.
A reciprocal linking directory is not a search engine and does not display a list of web pages based upon keywords. It lists web sites by category and subcategory. The categorization of reciprocal links is usually based on the whole web site rather than only one page or a set of keywords, and sites are oftentimes limited to inclusion in only one or two categories. Reciprocal link directories will oftentimes allow site owners to directly submit their site for inclusion, and have editors review submissions for fitness, and then require a link back to the reciprocal linking directory from the requestors web site.
RSS directories are similar to web directories, but contain collections of RSS feeds, instead of links to web sites.
A human edited reciprocal linking directory is created and maintained by editors who add links based on the policies particular to that directory.
Human edited link directories are often targeted for search engine optimization on the basis that links from reputable sources will improve rankings in the major search engines. Many human edited recirocal link directories, including the Open Directory Project, World Wide Web Virtual Library, TheLinkingDirectory, and the newly built AlexBid, are edited by volunteers, who are often experts in particular categories.
Another direction taken by some reciprocal link directories is the paid for inclusion model. This method enables the reciprocal link directory to offer timely inclusion for submissions and generally fewer listings as a result of the paid model. They often offer additional listing options to further enhance listings, including featured listings and additional links to inner pages of the listed web site. These options typically have an additional fee associated, but offer significant help and visibility to sites and their inside pages.
Today submission of websites to reciprocal link directories is considered as a common search engine optimization technique to get vital back-links for the submitted web site. One distinctive feature of ‘reciprocal link directory submission’ is that it can not be fully automated like search engine submissions. Manual link directory submission is a tedious and time consuming job and is often outsourced by the webmasters.
The success of a site is gauged by the number of visitors the website manages to get and whether you are able to maintain the flow of these visitors. It is every webmasters aim to secure, if not the No.1 position in Search engine results, at least a position on the first page.
These days website owners mostly read matter on the web to get information as to how to create sites, ensure adequate Search Engine Optimization through widely practiced tactics, and use online key word analytic tools. Not all of them manage to successfully achieve good quality sites with these methods and simultaneous use of Search Engine Optimization. There is a reason for those who do not succeed. The reasons for it are probably impatience and not applying the tactics regularly or have an improper or unsatisfactory start. Many may even resort to seeking online freelance help from a Search Engine Optimization Company, SEO Expert, or SEO Consultant, and let the experts handle it.
The question that arises here is whether this online contracting or self-help does your site any good. There is no step wise method to a well run site. No one is going to offer you any Search Engine Optimization mantra or magical solution to your woes. The search engines take into consideration a whole of factors and parameters before it assigns your website the rank as per their algorithm. The sad part here is that no one knows which parameter weighs more, and tips the balance in your sites favor (except of course the search engine itself). But despair not, though Google does not offer specific information it does provide you with guidelines to work on. One of the important parameters by which the search engine judges your site for ranking is the number and quality of back links you manage to secure for your website. Back links, also known as inbound links or inward links, are links on other sites, which lead the user to your web page.
It is important that besides the quantity (that is the number of sites with links to your site), quality holds a strong grip on your page rank too. The importance of good content and preferably better ranking websites with related content and of course a heavy traffic receives a thumbs up, and links from such sites are beneficial for Search Engine Optimization and ranking. The search engine judges you as a reliable and good quality site and places your rank higher up in the search results. But do not get carried away by securing links with good content sites and get a limited assortment of links and work on increasing the number of links too. Strike a balance between quality and quantity.
Use this website in order to check how many backlinks your site has right now. This is done in order to get a clue where you are right now, and whether you will have to step it up and get intensive. I mean, you DO want increase in traffic, right?
One more thing, before you get all pumped up thinking you cracked Google’s Algorithm, one more thing you need to know. You will not have instant results. You will have to wait, because backlinks do not work like that. It will take some time, couple of days, weeks maybe month before Google will notice your site having authority.
Give it time, but don’t stop, be consistent. If you don’t see results after 4 days, don’t stop and ask “why am I am not getting 34,000 hits a day yet?!”. Take it slow, take easy and you will get your website where you want it to be.
