Using directory submissions to get links to your website and gain
visibility will usually give you permanent links and advertisement for your
site. The benefit of this is that with only a small effort you can submit to the
directories and then just sit there and enjoy the quality links and higher
search engine rankings you get for your site.
The problem is that the
more well-known directories get thousands of applications to their sites. As
such,

are put in place to ensure that the submission and review procedure can operate
without extra work, as well as to help the editor select just the sites that are
appropriate. And so the question is: How can I improve the chances that my
listing gets accepted into the highest-traffic, top web directories?
One of the most common
restrictions imposed by directories has to do with the size of your title,

Before you begin submitting anywhere, sit down and take down a few
properly-formulated descriptions that are 100, 150, 200, and 250 characters
long. One of those four levels can usually get accepted in any web directory you
come across.
You may not be able to say everything about your site, so
pick the most important points and go with that. After that's done with, highest
of the difficult work is out of the way. Now all you have to do is search for
the length requirements, copy and paste your excerpt of that length,

so prepare a few different options so that, when it's time for the submission
forms, it's just a matter of picking the appropriate one.
If you waste
time submitting to web directories with poorly categorized, spammy listings, you
are going to get turned down. You've then wasted a lot of your effort and gotten
absolutely nothing in exchange. An example of this would be that if you deal in
widgets, when you submit your information you include the keyword 'widgets' in
your description,

sale, title, and keywords as many times as you can. typically readability
takes a backseat as the focus becomes cramming the keywords in as many times as
possible. Review editors detest this and it's a really easy rejection. Do not
spam your directory listings. That can't be more plainly stated, yet for
whatever reason, people still do it.
Web directories are sorted by topic
and editors commonly take great pride in ensuring that everything stays well
categorized. Every directory should advise you this as it makes their job easier
when it comes time to review your link. So, put yourself in their shoes and do
them a favor, because ultimately it's you and your website that are going to
gain when you are accepted.
A tiny extra bit of effort on your side to
properly submit your site can vastly improve your likelihood of getting
approved. Think about it: If you're the editor and you want to approve a site,
you probably only need to click one button. But, if the webmaster chose the
wrong category, then you have to edit his application to modify the selection
(and now find the proper category),

which takes extra time. If you are the editor sitting down with thousands of
applications to read, it's far easier to click the 'delete' button than it is to
deal with fumbling through categories.
Selecting the proper category
should be stressed because it not only makes the directory editor's job a lot
easier therefore speeding up your acceptance, but also the search engines will
look at the various links that are next to you on the page you are listed on and
if they are of a related theme to your own this can improve your
rankings.
It's usually not that hard to adhere to the regulations of a
web directory with very little extra work. Most of the editors are looking for
the same things, so the formalities from directory to directory tend to be
pretty similar.
