Directories are lists of sites, categorized and organized by topic. Each directory listing contains short, descriptive information about the site. The most effective way to drive traffic to a Website, is to get listed in Directories that specialize in your field. Visitors that come from a directory are particularly valuable, as they have a higher conversion rate. Each Directory Backlink will also help improve your Search Engine Rankings.
Good directories require a real person to review your site and add your listing to the directory. This can take anywhere from a few hours to several years. If you pay a fee to be listed, you can substantially reduce the time. But beware of Scams.
There are three types of Directories:
This type of directory allows submission under a particular category. It is called a "Free for All" (FFA) Directory. Numbers are limited. They delete the oldest listing to allow yours to be added, so you need to submit your Website every month. The value of this type of directory is dubious.
These directories are a little more particular about what is listed in their directory and a human monitors the content. Usually this type of directory lists your site as it is submitted – if they accept you.
In an edited directory, they may completely rewrite the description of your site. For the person trying to find specific information, this is the most valuable type of resource.
