Web Directories for SEO

Submitting to a web directory can aid in your backlink count. There is a debate if “dofollow” links are the only ones that should be targeted for SEO purposes. Nowadays with Google cracking down on the exact amount of backlinks a website has, Yahoo has become the true statement for link development. That being said, Google will only display high PR value links. This has become a factor in Google but to server space and the ability to harvest competitors back links to target a campaign of your own.To find out how many links a website has in Yahoo, simply type the following:

site: http://www.domainname.com

Once the results page returns click ” inlinks” . “Inlinks” allow you to see various webpages that have either your backlink included or the competition links to see exactly where they are targeting.

Web Directories for SEO - “nofollow” Dilema

As many website owners sift through many directories to see if “nofollow” attributes are attached, the overall back link picture becomes watered down. Google as well as Yahoo have included many “nofollow” links within the databases and have proven they may not catty as much weight as “dofollow” but still can be counted as a link. What should be avoided instead of the “nofollow” attribute still remains:

Link Farms, Reciporical Linking, Web Rings….They do not count for anything.

Many free directories offer link inclusion if a reciporical link is provided. That mean you must place the directories link on your website first before they will include your link. This is not a one way link. Google has already devalued that connection between sites and those links pass little to no link juice at all.

Paid inclusion to a web directory will  guarantee that the link is one way. Within general web directories, categories are defined, you should request inclusion into the most relevant sub category for deep linking action to occur. Prices vary from web directory to web director. Life time inclusion is the best route to take for the cost, so over time the web directory itself will grow in weight , provided the owner of the directory is promoting it and driving traffic to the directory.
