Link building with Directory Submission
This post is part of the Link Building Strategy Series
There are thousands of Link Directories on the web. Their purpose is to help you promote your website. Directories typically have hundreds of categories so that we can pick the most suitable. A link from a web directory is relevant because the category that our link is placed, is strongly related to what our company or website offers. Lately, web directories tend to influence search engines’ algorithms less but still can work to our advantage. Simply put, if your competitor has used every promotional method you used too but not submitted his site to web directories, you can have a clear advantage to pass him in the S.E.R.P.s(Search engines result pages).
Promoting our website: Off-page Optimization
After setting up our web site and ensuring that everything can be Crawled, we must make sure our users can navigate it efficiently. Which can only mean it’s time to move to the Off-Page Factors that will help our site rank better. Having a new site and ensuring that all On-Page factors are optimal, doesn’t necessarily mean we’ll see an increase of visitors and an improvement of ranking positions. Even though search engines can crawl our site, in a competitive market that alone is not enough. A site has to have links from other relevant websites. This is so it can gain “value”.
How often should I post?
One of the starting decisions you will have to make when starting your own website or blog, is the frequency of posting. It’s so important that I am devoting a whole article to it. :P
I don’t want to scare you, but it can be hard deciding on how often to post. Your long-term goal is to gain frequent and regular visitors, therefore posting should also be frequent and consistent.
Why do I need a blog?
Working with many people I often get the same question again and again.
Why do I need to have a blog? I am just a…
If I got asked this question four to five years ago my response would be very different. But nowadays, having a blog is a necessity no matter who you are or what’s your field.
Blogs help businesses
Up to now only large corporations had blogs, but today it seems everyone has one or has started one recently.
Why? It’s simple.
