Directory Submission Worth the Effort - Proof
Posted in SEO Tips on December 16th, 2006
I’ve submitted to a ton of directories myself, but it’s very time consuming and a lot of work. After a while of submitting to 10 or 20 a day you get burnt out and begin to realize why you are doing it. For this very reason I hired w3joint.comto submit to 3 different sites for me.
I purchased in the neighborhood of 300+ links every time and I’m astounded by what it’s accomplished. Using PR Predictor I found that my sites directory submissions are not only being indexed very quickly, but that the value of these submissions are pushing my PR WAY up. One such site was only registered a month ago and I started within a day with the directory submissions. Four weeks later we have roughly 1,000 links pointing at the new site and a predicted PR of 5. On top of that, the site ranks top 10 in MSN and Yahoo already and is driving 100 visitors a day constantly.
For the amount of time it takes to submit to these directories alone, I’d recommend outsourcing it someone like this. What makes W3 even more valuable, however, is their proactive approach towards validating the worthiness of directories. I know first hand the that the found of the company spends a lot of time at IVS and is constantly in the know of new directories that are either worthy of submission, or should be avoided.
