This is only intended to be an overview.
A web directory is not a search engine and does not display lists of
web pages based on keywords, instead it lists web sites by category and
subcategory. The categorization is usually based on the whole web site,
rather than one page or a set of keywords, and sites are often limited to
inclusion in only one or two categories.
Directories have various types of listings for inclusion:
- Free Submission - There is no charge for the review and
listing of the site.
- Reciprocal Link - A link back to the directory must be added
somewhere on the submitted site in order to get listed in the directory.
- Paid Submissions - A one-time or recurring fee is
charged for reviewing / listing
the submitted link
- No Follow -This attribute ( rel="nofollow" )
tells
search engines not to follow the link.
- Featured Listing - Your link is given a premium position in a
category (or multiple categories) or other sections of the directory,
such as the homepage.
- Bid for Position - Sites Bid for order positioning.
- Affiliate links - The directory earns commission for
referred customers
from the listed websites. Ex : Clickbank.
This can be an overwhelming area, but we are here to help with your
Directory Submission process.
