2. When you are attempting to better the placement of your
site in the search engine rankings, you often go crazy
trying to get links. Time is money, and attempting to place
links on your own, eats huge amounts of time that could
be better spent modifying the content and strategic
direction of your websites. Outsourcing the tasks required
to allow your site to function properly is crucial to your
success as a webmaster in today's Internet environment.
And perhaps the most important aspect of websites today
is link management. The best search engine optimizers in
the industry know that links make up eighty percent of a
websites positioning in the search engines, and the other
twenty percent is related to on page optimization.
3. Manually going into directories, searching page structure,
positioning, and the presence of no- follow indicators, will
exhaust the average webmaster. And even when you find
a great directory to list your site in, you still may have to
pay for an editorial review of your site. And then you have
to wait to see if you get accepted. If you are dealing with
free directories, then you often times have to wait even
longer to see if you get accepted. Additionally, you need to
develop a system that allows you to track your
submissions to directories to follow up on the rate of
acceptances and denials. All of this eats tons of time, and
delays the crawling of links leading to your sites.
4. Savvy companies have realized that they could offer
directory submissions at reasonable rates if they catered
to the masses. Many companies and individuals have
developed amazing automated systems that will make the
process of getting links seem effortless when compared to
manual placement. Search engines crawl good web pages
often, and if you want links leading to your site to be
recognized and credited quickly, you need to find these
respected link repositories. One of the easiest ways to find
directories yourself is to go into Google and type add url
followed by your keyword and the word directory. Or you
can do this same search by using add link with your
keywords. Often times, building a relationship with other
webmasters in your niche is a good idea for placing
appropriate links on each others sites. This personal
5. Recently, individuals and companies have developed a
new link acquisition mechanism known as a bidding
directory. These sites allow you to enter a bid for where
you would like your link placed on the page of a high
ranking website. The higher you bid, the better the
placement of your website anchor text. Entries toward the
top of the page will receive more exposure to the human
eye, and will be given more weight by the search engine
spiders. This is truly an intriguing concept in the world of
directories that can help you get links with good page
positioning immediately. Using these sites will allow you
to concentrate on content instead of wasting hours finding
good links.
