Welcome to our Information Page About Web Directories
Before we get started, above this web site we have a MENU, you can click directory specific on which you want to learn more about.
So why should I submit my web site to a web directory?
Very simple, while you got your web site online now and you for any reason need to get traffic to your web site, then we recommend to get your web site listed with the major web directories on the Internet. You do not need to submit your web site to ALL web directories or thousands of directories, forget this. What you need to do is to find directories which have a GOOD PR and is ranked well in the major search engines.
You will need to have a look at how old the Web Directory is, how good it is indexed with other sites and how much traffic this directory gets.
That’s a lot of requirements, I know, now I will learn you how to find out how much traffic the web site gets. Go to alexa.com and enter the web directory’s domain name in there, hit submit, and now you get the overview of how much traffic this web site gets on a weekly and monthly basis. Those figures are not 100% correct since Alexa.com is only counting traffic from users which use the Alexa bar tool. But it gives you are very good indication how well the web directory ranks in and if there is even some traffic to it.
No when you need to find out how well the website is indexed in Google, you will need to go to google.com it is important that you use GOOGLE.COM and not google.de or Google UK or some regional, since we want to know what the world see. How to do that, is simply by entering, -> site:www.domainname.com <- needless to say that you should change “domainname.com” with the domain name of the web directory.
Also if you install the Google Toolbar you will in the top of your browser see the PR ranking of the web directory, everything what have a PR ranking from 1 to 10 might be of interest for you, of course web directory with a for instant PR of 5 or 7 is the best to submit your web site to, however, often you will need to pay to get listed on those. Start with a Web Directory which has at least a PR 1 or 2 and then find about 10 or 20 directories to start with.
