» Directory Submitter

In one of my other posts, I mentioned the tools I use in order to get a high page rank in just one update and more importantly, a steady stream of free traffic from the search engines.

One of those tools is Directory Submitter. At the time of this writing, Directory Submitter will help you submit your site to over 300 directories. All of these directories accept links from other sites … in fact, they want them.

That’s why submitting your site to directories is a much easier task than trying to get one-way (or even reciprocal) links from regular sites. The whole point of a directory is to maintain an ever-growing resource of websites. Directories may be general in nature, like Yahoo and DMOZ, or they may be niche directories.

Most of the directories listed in Directory Submitter are general, meaning they will take all the high quality sites they can find. All you have to do is enter in your site information, find the right category, and click submit. You can do this by hand, or use Directory Submitter to save yourself some time.

With the software, you just enter in your information once and click on the directory you want to submit your site to. The software automatically fills in the information for you so all you have to do is find the right category and click submit. You can easily submit your site to about 20 directories in about 10 minutes.

The best part of Directory Submitter is that it keeps track of all the directories you submit your site to. So even if you just submit to 20 directories at a time, you’ll know where you left off. In addition, you can use it for more than one site.

Directory Submitter has a built-in profile manager for you. Just enter in your site’s name, the title for the link, description and a few other details and it will store it for you. Even better, it will allow you to enter in several different anchor text titles and descriptions and will rotate through them as you submit your site to the different directories. In my opinion, this is the most powerful feature of Directory Submitter.

Just find a few low competition/highly searched keyword phrases, load them into Directory Submitter and start submitting your site to various directories around the internet. These one-way backlinks will be picked up by the search engines who will catalog them by key phrase. This will boost your rankings for these low competition/highly searched phrases and you’ll start getting some free traffic.
