Webmasters frequently ask if paid directory articles worth the cash? Of course the answer depends upon the service and the amount of money.

There are two things you will get from a directory: link popularity and traffic. I do affordable link building not know of much traffic that is really delivered by any directories. Much traffic wasn't even got me by listings in Dmoz, and the Yahoo directory. However if you are investing in a permanent list, finding a few sessions a year for 20 years is not so bad. There's little doubt that is targeted traffic.

You then want backlinks or link popularity. Where your list is going to be put this depends upon the index and the class. If your site will get a top-level listing (one or two clicks away from the homepage) or a deep listing (3 or more clicks removed from the homepage) the construction of the service categories will determine. Then this will depend on the number of links on that page. Many paid inclusion directories are selling everypage links, but these are a critical link acceptance drain.

So the two major problems with web directories are where your listing is likely to be placed and just how much link popularity gets offered to your internet site. My answer is to submit to 300 free non-reciprocal directories (with new web sites I really do 100 submissions a week for three days) and pick many settled directories that will place my new site in a top-level group or on a page that's only a few links.

A recently available research study unmasked these 300 free directory submissions, coupled with one listing in a top-level category of jtrotta.com net directory and one website link from the associated site produced, in just over a month, over 130 backlinks (based on Yahoo) and generated my site being fully indexed by Google. Search engine traffic has been great, because of high ranks in Google and MSN search results. All this would cost the typical webmaster 30.00 for the 300 directory articles, 69.90 for the top-level jtrotta.com record, and 45.00/month for the homepage link. The most effective part is that it required so little of my time.
