Can any one of you help with some info related to Directory Website, With some examples?
Thank you in advace…
[font=verdana]Directory websites, with the exception of DMoz, are useless for SEO purposes. Search engines know how easy it is for website owners to get their sites listed on these, and so they pay them no attention. DMoz, because it is rigorously moderated, is much harder to get a link from, and so Google considers any links from there to be valuable.
You may get some direct traffic from a directory, although it’s pretty unlikely – how many people do you know who go to a directory rather than Google?
Please note: any replies listing or promoting individual directories will be considered as spam and deleted.[/font]
Well timed. I just now moving on to the seo portion of my redesign. Dmoz it is then. Thank you much
Long before search engines like Google and Yahoo were created, web directories were popular. These directories contained links to a wide variety of different websites and categorized them in a way that allowed visitors to quickly and effortlessly find the information they needed. Business web directories offered the visitor a quick way to access the goods and services they need.
Ability to Target Your Demographic
One of the most important functions of business web directories is the ability to offer visitors links that are categorized according to geographical region or interest. The key to any marketing campaign is to target the product or service with the demographic that is the most likely consumers of the product or service.
Better Quality Traffic
Search engines accept and list just about any site that is submitted to them, regardless of the site’s quality. This can result in poor and unproductive traffic. Business web directories on the other hand are usually reviewed by editors to ensure that they are of the highest quality and relevance.
Better Relevance
Business web directories give visitors more relevant search results. If a person does a search for a particular product on a search engine, then he will end up getting many results which aren’t relevant to his search.
Better Sales Ratios
Visitors who frequent your business via a business search engine are more likely to buy the goods or services you are selling. This is because the visitor has read the description to your site and specifically selected your business out of the other businesses that are located on the directory.
Link Building
One of the prime advantages of listing your site on a business web directory is that it allows you to build relevant incoming links to your business. As many of you may already know, link building is one of the building blocks of any SEO campaign.
