There are thousands of directories on the web; local, national, regional and international. A large percentage of these directories are excellent places to list your website and your business. Some of them are not good places and can actually make your search engine ranks worse because you are affiliating yourself with that site. Many directories out there are nothing more than link black holes that were created automatically. Directory submission can be a risk, if one doesn’t know what he or she is doing.
These link black holes and other directories that are similar are banned by the popular search engines and are not factored into the search engine algorithms, so it will not affect your rank in a positive way and it could make it lower. Here at AdDaddy Networks, we only use legitimate directories that are utilized in the search engine algorithms; we participate in directory submission that is guaranteed to help your website, not hurt it. It is also effective in bringing your site extra traffic as well as a quality link.
Rather than the old days, when consumers used the Yellow Pages to find a company, product or service they needed, today the Yellow Pages are online. There is a lot of color, flashy ads and other fancy advertising attached to it. You can click a link on a Yellow Page listing online and get a map that shows you the way to the physical location of that business. The online Yellow Pages are equal to the big book that consumers used to search for contact information.
There are thousands of directories online that are just like that. Some directories are local (city and state), while others have information about companies nationally or even internationally. Some of these directories are specific to an industry or topic. These directories provide excellent links to help create natural SEO since they are relevant to the product or service you offer. When you accurately match your business to the correct directory, you are more likely to get the best results. AdDaddy Networks is skilled in directory submission and we have a list of the most effective directories when it comes to local, regional, national, international, industry and topic specific directories. All you have to do is give us a call and we’ll let you know what we can do for you!
