Search engine submission is essentially dead. Crawler-based
search engines such as Google, Yahoo, and MSN
no longer need to be told when a new page or site
exists. Instead, they'll find the new page or
site as long as an existing page or site links
to it. (If that takes too long, several search
engines will gladly take your money in exchange
for quicker indexing of your pages!)
Directory submission, however, is not dead! In
fact, being added to various web directories can
be the best way to get that link you need for
crawlers to find your site.
It's true that
many important web directories now require
payment in order
to guarantee
a
listing.
But there are several that still accept free submissions, and
OWT has years of experience in successful submissions to these
hard-to-crack web directories. We know how to
craft keyword-rich
site descriptions that are less likely to be edited by editors
who review submissions. Our Directory Submission service includes
the following:
- research to determine most appropriate keywords and
keyphrases for your site
- writing directory descriptions using those keywords
and keyphrases
- research and manual submission to most appropriate
categories in each directory
- manual submission to those search engines still accepting
free submissions
- 90-day monitoring of the success of our submissions
(note: there's no guarantee as to how soon a web directory will
add your listing)
We will also gladly provide information about various pay-for-placement
search engines and web directories that you may choose to pursue
as a complement to our submission efforts.
Rates
Our Directory Submission service is included in our Complete
Search Engine Optimization service.
On an a la carte basis, our Directory Submission
service alone is billed at $200 per URL. (Submitting
multiple URLs for the same web site to web directories
is not recommended!)
Terms
Payment is due in advance prior to the start of the Directory
Submission service. |
