To those who are reading this article, I assume probably have
some internet knowledge and are curious about the big hype
there is about directories. Perhaps some even think that
they are a waste of time and see no extraordinary purpose
for them. To be perfectly honest, that’s almost correct.
The ways of the search engines are becoming ever more powerful,
they are constantly evolving and ‘learning’ at
an exponential rate. Why would anyone bother visiting a directory
to search for a specific website or product when they could
just use a SE?
What some of you that don’t know, Google has an estimated
8-9 Billion web pages in its index. Yahoo and Msn have roughly
the same amount. When some one searches they usually only
see the first 10-20 sites and then never even notices the
other 6 million results. So one could argue the fact that
directories are a way for small time websites to gain exposure
on the internet. Similar to the way the small time search
engines. To have a website listed in a few 100 directories
and be indexed with some minor search engines can bring some
traffic to a website. However, nothing can even compare to
the traffic generated by having a website on a top page of
a Google, Msn or Yahoo search.
Internet directories provide also provide back links. To
those of us who constantly try to evolve our SEO for our
websites, all know that back links are absolutely vital to
a top 10 placement for a search in Google/MSN/Yahoo. As of
now, search engines take the number of back links, the quality
of back links, and the relevancy of back links into tremendous
consideration when determining search engine placement.
To top this all off, the back links, if quality, will undoubtedly
help you new website get crawled and indexed promptly.
I’m sure some who read this are wondering; How do
I decide of a directory will give me a quality back link?
So, ill leave you with this.
The cat taught the baby tiger valuable information on how
to be a fierce fighter. One day the tiger grew up, and decided
to turn on his teacher, the cat. The tiger chased the cat
until the cat ran up a tree. That was the one secret the
cat never taught the tiger.
