Enhance your SEO with Website Directories
I’m working on a new SEO project with stashSpace.com, a provider of video transfer services and online video sharing. In addition to the paid adwords campaign I’m conducting, we are also starting to build the number of incoming links to the site.
Links to your site from other websites play a major role in determining how you rank when someone searches on a given keyword. A great way to do this is through Directories. However, the process of hand-submitting to hundreds, or even thousands (!!), of directories can be time-consuming to say the least.
I just found a service online called Directory Maximizer, and will be trying it out.
They list on their site the following benefits of their Directory Submission Service:
- Get permanent one-way links by having your site manually submitted up to 1172 quality web directories.
- Get links that are valued by the search engines by ensuring that the directories to which we submit are SEO-friendly.
- Receive a continuous flow of links by having your website submitted to our regularly updated list of directories.
- We increase your chances of link approvals by ensuring that your site details meet all directory guidelines and are submitted under the most relevant category.
Some of the features of Directory Maximizer include:
- You can target multiple search terms by submitting up to 20 different titles and descriptions
- You can choose from various submission options at no extra cost:
- Submit to all or a specific number of directories
- Submit by PageRank
- Control the pace at which we make your submissions
- Subscribe to submit to 100 directories every month for 12 months
- Avoid duplicate submissions on future orders as we keep track of all previous submissions made with our service.
- Save time handling directory emails by opting for our email handling service where we create a separate email account for your submissions, handle all the directory emails and give you a report for the same.
- Upload list of any previous submissions made to avoid our submitting to the same directories.
- Get up-to-date live reports of your submissions as and when they’re made.
- Manage multiple sites from a single account.
- Place orders from as little as $5.
- Great value for money at just 14 cents per directory submission, i.e. every 100 directory submissions cost only $14. One-time fee only with no other costs involved.
I’ll update everyone on how the service goes over the next few months and let you know the results. If you have experience with Directory Maximizer, or another directory submission service, please let me know how the results were for you!

I did try directory maximizer as well a month ago, a friend of mine had told me about them, so far so good i’ll say. I just added my site & submitted with the slow option across 5 weeks. They are handling my emails for me, so that in itself was a relief.
I shall let you know about the results, since they tell me it takes time.

Thanks for the link. Interestingly, we run our own directory, so it always great to know what options and services are out there.

Marketing in harmony with Google is a tough proposition, more content less keyword density excep for backlinking anchor text of course….
if this is a trend - what does it do?…

This looks like a good service but aren’t directory links considered low quality links by the search engines? Do they really help you rank better?

I agree that directory links are important. The difficulty is that the page rank of each directory keeps changing on a monthly basis. You need to keep monitoring these page ranks to change your directory listings for the more popular ones, in terms of page rank.

One thing I’d really like to say is always that car insurance canceling is a terrifying experience and if you’re doing the best things like a driver you’ll not get one. Lots of people do obtain the notice that they’ve been officially dumped by their insurance company and many have to struggle to get added insurance following a cancellation. Affordable auto insurance rates are frequently hard to get after the cancellation. Knowing the main reasons regarding auto insurance canceling can help car owners prevent losing one of the most essential privileges obtainable. Thanks for the thoughts shared via your blog.
