How do you promote your website using Search Engine Optimization (SEO). We all know that one factor that affects the search engine ranking is having quality links pointing to your site. So how do you build this quality backlinks?

If you have been reading SEO forums before, you may read a thread that about directory submission. Then other members will be against directory submission, others don’t. Because of this, you are confused whether you want to submit your website to directory for listing and link building. Some will say it is useless, it will hurt you ranking and all other negative comments.

In my opinion, just submit your website to directory for inclusion. If you want to submit to 2000 plus directories, do it. If you want to submit to 10 directories, do it.

So how do I submit my website for inclusion?

Firstly, I don’t submit my website to 2000 directories as it will be very time consuming. So what I do is I pick around 10 high PageRank (PR) directories and submit it for inclusion.

So if you want to get or build your backlinks and doesn’t have much time for directory submission, is to create a list of high PR directories and submit it to these directories.

Just a quick note, you may spend a few dollars if you will be submitting your website to these quality directories. But remember that one quality directory inclusion might be equivalent to a hundred of directories.
