Bloggers Eye

As we all know that link building constitutes the major part of the off-page seo techniques. Without a vibrant link building campaign you can not touch the peak of search engine optimization. Link building involves a number of various procedures like article submission, blog posting, one-way link building and web directory submission.

Web directory is a great source of getting a quality back link for your website. There are thousands of free as well as paid directories over the internet that allow gaining you back links in abundance. Will the help of a web directory you can assume that your website is viewed by the potential customer.

Basically a web directory is the collection of websites and web pages pointing toward a specific niche. They have manually defined categories and arranged in the form of topics and sub-topics to facilitate even browsing toward the relevant topic. Your link is placed in the relevant category and considered as the back link by the search engines. The older the web directory the more valuable it is considered by both the webmasters and the search engines. (more…)

Many webmasters are very much interested in link building via free directories. I am in same line. I am doing directory submission for my sites from end of 2005; it’s a great way to advertise your site and good for SEO too.Everything was fine but few of directory owners are doing some unethical job. Like, selling emails to third party or using emails ID for their hidden business purpose (e.g., Selling Viagra!). Don’t ask me who are they. I can’t give you any exact directory owner name but I am sure some are doing that. After submitting my sites in various directories, I am regularly getting Viagra offer!

Now these days we have got another way to get kick on email box. iEntry network, they bought a large amount of web directories from the market for sending their newsletter. You don’t need to subscribe there, if you had any submission on their acquired web directories then you are in hell. You are bound to receive their informative newsletter!

Every week I am getting emails from them, I am tired to doing unsubscribe from their network but still getting emails from them. Obviously their unsubscribe option isn’t meant to work. It’s perhaps just there to verify that the email has been read!

Now I have changed my policy, I am using one email address for my directory submission purpose and that email address is not important to me. You should do the same!
