Yicrosoft Directory

Submitting your website to web directories, like the Yicrosoft Directory, helps you get backlinks which is an important step in your link development strategy to rank well in search engines. Although there are quite a few directories to submit your website to, the process of submitting them can take some time. That is why I have provided you with this video clip of the Thirty Day Challenge, focusing on directory submission, as well as a review of the software that is used.

I have not heard of the Thirty Day Challenge, until I found this video on YouTube about directory submissions and visited their website. It is a program that shows you how to make your first $10 online, in 30 days I’m assuming. You can watch all 30 videos if you want, but right now I am going to talk about Day 29, which is Directory Submissions. In the video, they recommend either outsourcing or purchasing directory submission software to help you in your program.

There is a website, addurl.nu, that lists a number of search engine friendly directories to submit to, but submitting to each one manually is very time consuming. So he recommends a program called, Directory Submitter, which is free and can help you speed up your submission process.

Because most free directories (Yicrosoft Directory) are human edited, they take a long to review your website to add to their directory. The video suggests submitting to hundreds of directories at once, and wait for the each directory to drip in. That way, search engines see you getting more and more backlinks, but not all at once, so it looks more natural.

The way the software works is you enter the typical information you would enter when submitting your website to a directory, like name, email, and URL. There is a preloaded list of directory with various PR that you will be able to submit to. You open each directory in the built-in browser and when you get to the page where you enter your information, the software will automatically fill in the fields for you. All you have to do is verify the information and click submit.

Because you still have to go to each directory and submit, it is not automatic, but that can be a good thing. Sometimes automatic directory submission software will not fill in the correct fields and cause you to get rejected from directories. This way you can oversee everything that goes on, but not have to sit there and type in your information each time.

The video also recommends RSS submitter software that will submit your RSS feeds to free RSS directories. You can find that at: http://www.allscoop.com/tools/rss-submit/. I have not tried that software out yet, but may write about it in a later post. You can find the Directory Submitter software at: http://www.directorysubmitter.imwishlist.com/

Final note: you can add individual directories to the pre-loaded list, so you make sure you add the Yicrosoft Directory.
