How To Get One Way Links?

Once you've managed to build your own website you are facing a huge dilemma: how to get your site indexed by search engines and how to get those one way links so valuable for SE.

One important way of getting one way links to your site is doing slow manual directory submissions.

You might ask why 'slow'?

As anyone may know, a site is not immediately listed by a directory. It all depends on their human editors and on their availability to check all sites submitted to their directory. It may take up to 2-3 months for a directory to accept a site, as they're all having a huge number of pending links each day.

Even if it takes quite a while for a directory to list a link, it is way better to spread this manual process over a few months period. This way the process will seem much more natural by search engines. No search engine will trust a large number of links of a new site being listed in a short time.

You may also ask why 'directory submissions' and why 'manual'?

Directory submissions are still significant as major search engines like Yahoo and MSN still use directories in their search algorithms. In case you activate in a really competitive field, you should know that links listed in various directories help stabilizing your rankings when algorithm changes happen.

The 'manual' feature of this process is essential, as there is no software to pick the right category in each directory, fill-in the captcha and submit the site. Submission softwares having the same results as manual submissions are just an illusion of their creators.

Another way of getting one way links is doing manual article submissions. This process should be done in the same slow motion as directory submissions. The submission process should be spread over a longer period of time in order to get that natural aspect that search engines like a lot.

Except the fact that you get 2 links out of each listed article, the main advantage is right in front of your eyes (you, the one reading this) - there is a lot of people reading these articles.

There are a lot of debates regarding article submissions. Rumors say that listing the same article to more directories, that may be duplicate content and search engines don't like that. However, nobody seems to have 'felt' such a penalty and no one knows for sure if that really exists.

One thing's for sure - search engines will only return the article that is on the most 'relevant' site, the rest of all those articles you submitted get tossed into the duplicate content 'filter' - never to be seen by search engine users.

The Steps Involved In Web Site Submission

The internet has become the best solution for promoting and selling products for a business. Originally the best way to get your website known to the world was a search engine, but that has changed. The search engines are now making room for web site directories, which provide a more reliable option for building incoming links and qualified traffic.

A website directory works on the same principals as the search engine, but is a lot more reliable. Websites can be found easily, because they are separated into categories and subcategories which are based on the subject of the website. The results consist of full websites, unlike the search engines that return individual web pages that may not even be submitted.

Because the popularity of web directories is growing rapidly, the traffic on them is large. If you submit your site to such a directory, the chances for people to visit your site increase significantly. The more traffic you have on your website, the better your business will evolve. Keep in mind that if your submit your website to a number of directories, your audience will become even wider.

Over the internet, there are thousands of directories. Some people think it is best for you to find a directory that is related to your business. For instance, if you have a medically based website, you would have a better chance of promoting it by using a medically based directory rather than one filled with a lot of other categories. I am not so confident this is the best choice for you, and I will go so far as to say it may even damage the amount of traffic you have on your website.

If you think about it, the web directories offer the chance to view websites in a certain category. The directories that have more categories and more links also have more traffic. Why would you choose directories that relate to your business, when people who visit a directory for a particular category may one day become interested in yours? Do you think those people will search for other directories that relate to your business or just simply select the category from the one they are already on? Since it is all about the speed of the search, I don’t think people will go for other directories.

The web site submission process is not very complicated, but you should keep in mind some things before you go for it. First you should try not to submit your website to a very high number of directories in a single day. Your web site submission should be done by hand. This is due to the fact that many directories will ban your website if it is done through an automated service.

If you choose to submit your website to a lot of directories, be sure you keep track of them all. In the unfortunate situation when you will try your web site submission twice with the same directories, it may not have a positive effect on the acceptance of your site.

When you have established what directories you want to submit your site to, be sure to read the rules and guidelines correctly. This will ensure a more productive experience. Your web site submission should be done in the category that is closely related to your site. If you choose the incorrect category, your website may be refused by the directories, a situation where you do not want to be.
