SEO is a process that requires constant link building. However, some Internet marketers find it hard to acquire high quality links because they are not familiar with the various link building methods. One of the easiest (and most affordable) ways to build links is by web directory submission.

What is web directory submission?

Web directories are websites that exist with the sole function of listing URLs. All the URLs are organized into categories, and usually, the entire database is searchable with a search feature. This allows web visitors to search the database for relevant sites. Once a URL has been approved, it will appear in a relevant category, right next to other related websites. This is great for search engine optimization because you want your links to appear only among relevant sites. This helps the search bots to determine the type of content on your own site.

How to get your URL approved.

So how do get your URL approved? Follow these simple steps.

Step 1: Have your email, URL, description and tags ready.
Step 2: Select the most relevant category.
Step 3: Submit URL and confirm the submission.
Step 4: Be patient.

Step 1: Have your email, URL, description and tags ready.

Prepare the necessary information. Make sure you have a valid email, your URL, a short description of the site and your keyword tags ready. The tags will allow your site to be found more easily.

Step 2: Select the most relevant category.

On the submission page, select the most relevant category. The category must be as specific as possible. For example, if your website is about SEO, then select the category known as “Search Engine Optimization” instead of “Internet Marketing”. Sometimes, the right category can be many levels deep. Selecting the appropriate category is very important if you want your URL to be approved. Web directory owners will not change the category for you. If you submit to the wrong category, the submission will be rejected.

Step 3: Submit URL and confirm the submission.

Once you have entered all the required information, click SUBMIT to send the information over. Make sure you check your email for a confirmation email. Most web directories require you to confirm your email before your submission will be processed. So be sure to click on the confirmation link. You should receive the email within 5 minutes after submitting the URL. If you don’t receive it, check your spam folder or resubmit again.

Step 4: Be patient.

For popular directories, it may take several weeks or months before the submission is reviewed and approved. After confirming your email, your part is done. Now all you have to do is to be patient and wait. After a few weeks, you will discover that you have acquired quite a number of back links for your own site!
