What the major directories to submit a web site to in order to get traffic?

Question

I hear that submitting a web site to certain major directories is a good way to get traffic and i wanted to know if any body knew which ones they were and maybe even a little advice on how to submit them.

Answer 1

Search Engine submittals.

There are many services that will charge you an arm and a leg for Submittals. There are many programs that you can purchase that will broadcast your site to the world.

However, unless you want to spend nearly $1000 per year, to maintain your spot, you will need to find alternatives:

http://www.DMOZ.ORG offers a free submittal that will get you included in most search engines. You will have to search for a category, submit your site and wait for them to approve you. Approval is not guaranteed. Google uses the DMOZ.

http://search.yahoo.com/info/submit.html - Yahoo will also accept your site for free, but if you are in a hurry, they will ask you to pony up the bucks.

When I look at where our site's traffic comes from (our top 3 links are from google, yahoo and msn (or their affiliates). MSN: http://submitit.bcentral.com/msnsubmit.htm

Your site will need meta-tags, keywords and many other things. If you need a meta tag generator, then you can find one for free by searching. Otherwise, http://www.submit-it.com/subopt.htm has a good read on how to optimize your site.

Answer 2

The best way to achieve rankings is to submit to Yahoo, MSN, Google and other search engines. Also, get a good link exchange program to add links to your site. The more links that point to your site will help increase your rankings.

Answer 3

What you have to do is submit your website to search engines... and specify your KEYWORDS so when people search they can find your site. Also if you know sites that are simular to yours, yo may be able to place a link on their sites... then you have to get in touch with the webmaster for that site.

good luck
