The first part of the directory submission process is research. Research and find out reputed directory submission sites that are relevant to your niche. Once you have narrowed down the list of high PR directory sites it is time to do the following.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span lang=\"EN-IN\">(i) Open the notepad in your computer and write down all the details like website title, URL, description (at least 100 words), email id, website author name, and RSS feed.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span lang=\"EN-IN\">(ii) Take out the list of web directories you want to submit and visit them one by one. In most of the directories, the submission process is almost the same. We will guide you with the process by taking usalistingdirectory.com as an example.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span lang=\"EN-IN\">(iii) After landing to the directory page first scan through the category list and select your most suitable category. If you do not find the exact match choose the category in which your blog fits the best.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span lang=\"EN-IN\">(iv) Select the relevant category and click on the submit link option to submit your website. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span lang=\"EN-IN\">(v) After you click on a particular category (we chose \u2018blog\u2019 category) another list will open which will contain sub-categories to narrow down your niche. For example in usalistingdirectory.com under the blog category, we received business, education, computer, internet, news, money, and many other sub-categories. In the sub-category, we chose &#8216;business.&#8217;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span lang=\"EN-IN\">(vi) The last step is to fill in the details about your blog (in case of blog submission) or articles (in case of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.digitalvidya.com\/blog\/article-submission-sites\/\">article submission<\/a>). For this, you can copy-paste the details you wrote down on the notepad. After you have entered the details, hit submit. The directory submission is complete.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span lang=\"EN-IN\">(vii) Repeat the same process for all the directories you want to submit to. For each submission now you can simply copy-paste the details from notepad to save time from typing again and again.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"do-directory-submissions-still-work-in-the-present-day\"><\/span><b><span lang=\"EN-IN\">Do Directory Submissions still work in the present day?<\/span><\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span lang=\"EN-IN\">Yes, directory submissions still hold importance in the present day. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span lang=\"EN-IN\">However, there is one condition that needs to be fulfilled. You have to do it right and you have to submit the website to a reputed web directory.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span lang=\"EN-IN\">Web directories are the Yellow pages of the digital world. It helps with the searches of the internet users. In the present day and age, things have evolved a lot. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span lang=\"EN-IN\">Today the search engines are highly sophisticated and internet users are even more sophisticated. Unless you submit your website to a well-known and related web directory there won&#8217;t be any visible results. Even worse, you may negatively affect your SEO because of poor backlinks.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span lang=\"EN-IN\">Submitting websites to low-quality directories will generate low-quality links and Google doesn\u2019t like that. Panda and Penguin updates will penalize your website in such cases. This is one of the reasons why many people have lost their faith in directory submissions, but they do work when done right.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"directory-submission-in-digital-marketing-guidelines\"><\/span><b><span lang=\"EN-IN\">Directory Submission in Digital Marketing Guidelines<\/span><\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span lang=\"EN-IN\">As mentioned before, if you want to go for directory submission for SEO choosing the right directory is vital. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span lang=\"EN-IN\">To help you tread cautiously in the web directory jungle, we have come up with a list of points to consider while going for a directory submission.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"1-relevance\"><\/span><b><span lang=\"EN-IN\">1. Relevance<\/span><\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span lang=\"EN-IN\">You can\u2019t neglect relevance when it comes to directory submission. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span lang=\"EN-IN\">You want your website to be found for the relevant search queries. If you own a flower shop you don&#8217;t want your website to appear when people search for a pizza shop. Therefore, sticking to your niche directories is essential.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span lang=\"EN-IN\">One way in which you can check if the web directory caters to your niche is by searching for your keywords. If the directory responds and comes up with a relevant list of blogs and articles then you can proceed to submit.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span lang=\"EN-IN\">Another way to ensure you stick to a relevant web directory is following blogs in your industry and adhering to their suggestions for directory submissions.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"2-directory-quality\"><\/span><b><span lang=\"EN-IN\">2. Directory Quality<\/span><\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span lang=\"EN-IN\">All directories do not perform at the same level. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span lang=\"EN-IN\">It\u2019s when you choose a good quality directory that you will benefit from the submission. Check that the directories are indexed by Google. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span lang=\"EN-IN\">You can choose a popular directory of your niche. If you wish you can opt for paid submissions. This will push the whole process a lot faster. Remember for links, Google says to stress upon quality over quantity.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"3-schedule-submissions\"><\/span><b><span lang=\"EN-IN\">3. Schedule Submissions<\/span><\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span lang=\"EN-IN\">Without submitting all your articles, images, and infographics at once in a directory, go for scheduled submissions over time. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span lang=\"EN-IN\">This will give better results. In this way, you can also identify if a directory submission resulted in bad SEO for your website.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span lang=\"EN-IN\">Remember this, with the Google algorithm updates, the search engine now stresses more on natural links than bought and unrelated links.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"4-variety\"><\/span><b><span lang=\"EN-IN\">4. Variety<\/span><\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span lang=\"EN-IN\">Craft an effective directory strategy for success and this includes submitting in various directories.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span lang=\"EN-IN\"> Submission in popular directories of different niches can be done by targeting various keywords for your articles. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span lang=\"EN-IN\">Make use of both short and long-tail keywords. Use these keywords in your titles and content. Don&#8217;t forget to give attractive titles to blog posts to increase click-through rates.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span lang=\"EN-IN\">When you submit to various popular directories belonging to a specific niche you are aiming for variety in your link profile. This is a great strategy to improve rankings and in turn, getting more traffic.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"dos-and-donts-of-directory-submission\"><\/span><b><span lang=\"EN-IN\">Do&#8217;s and Don\u2019ts of Directory Submission<\/span><\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<figure id=\"attachment_171778\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-171778\" style=\"width: 658px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.digitalvidya.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/crypto-trading-dos-donts-1-300x169.png\" alt=\"Do&#039;s and Don\u2019ts of Directory Submission\" class=\"wp-image-171778\" width=\"658\" height=\"371\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.digitalvidya.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/crypto-trading-dos-donts-1-300x169.png 300w, https:\/\/www.digitalvidya.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/crypto-trading-dos-donts-1-150x84.png 150w, https:\/\/www.digitalvidya.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/crypto-trading-dos-donts-1-600x338.png 600w, https:\/\/www.digitalvidya.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/crypto-trading-dos-donts-1-220x124.png 220w, https:\/\/www.digitalvidya.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/crypto-trading-dos-donts-1-595x335.png 595w, https:\/\/www.digitalvidya.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/crypto-trading-dos-donts-1-480x270.png 480w, https:\/\/www.digitalvidya.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/crypto-trading-dos-donts-1.png 880w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 658px) 100vw, 658px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-171778\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Do&#8217;s and don\u2019ts of directory submission<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p><span lang=\"EN-IN\">There are certain dos and don\u2019ts of directory submission.
