We all know that SEO is all about link popularity, and directory submissions is one of the many ways to build link popularity of a website. But the question we are here is discuss is, “IS IT REALLY WORTH THE DOLLARS WE SPEND ON IT“.
There areĀ always 2 sides of the coin, the general practice is that you generally give your directory submission guy a budget and ask them to go ahead and get you links, without even thinking or seeing what is it that you are actually paying for, Well that is wrong, because you might end up paying for something that will not even help you in scents forget dollars.
Guidelines to Good Directory Submission
When it comes to directory submission, here are a couple of things you should do to get it right.
Make sure you get a list of directories where your are going to pay for inclusions
The website is not enough, you need to see the actual link of the page where your link is going to appear and see how many links are there, what is the link juice you will get.
In view of the above take your call and approve only those submissions that are really value for money. Save some dollars and make sure you are getting what you are paying for.
There are times when your SEO companies charge you for paid directory submission make sure that you see the list before you give them the money to go ahead with it.
