ARTICLE
Inside Web4URL General Web Directory
Web4URL roughly recieves close to 90 submission per day. While
not every submission made to Web4URL
gets approved, most do. There’s multiple reasons why a site wont
get approved : Adult Content, Online Gambling, Informational Sites
Stuffed with Advertisements, Non-Family Friendly Sites…. But another
reason can be due to the text in the submission. Thats what I
want to focus this post on, the proper way to fill out the submission
form.
Lets start by looking at some examples:
Add A Listing Page - While some Directories will allow you to submit a listing
from their home page, others require you to visit the category
you will be submitting your site to. Web4URL also requires you
to visit the category you will be submitting your website to.
Once the Add A Listing
Page is displayed, make sure you review the different listing
options. There is alot to consider when choosing a listing type,
so each of you will have to weigh the options on whats best and
what you want for your website.
Title - This is one of the biggest problems I see when listings are
submitted to Web4URL. The very first thing that anyone sees when
searching for a listing, whether through a Search Engine, or through
the search features of the directory. Having misspellings, stuffing
the title of your site with keywords, and improper capitalization of
letters and words are not doing your site any favors. Having it look
professional is the key! :) Let me give you some examples, both good
and bad, so you can see the difference. First the bad examples :
web4url or wEb4urL or deep links general directory submit now.
Obviously these all look bad, completely unprofessional and
unappealing. Now for the good examples : Web4URL.com or Web4URL -
Search Directory or Web4URL - A Deep Links Directory. Each one of
these examples are informative, to the point, and have a clean and
professional look to them.
URL - Most sites require you to have “http://” in front of your URL.
Web4URL also requires this as well. Without it, anyone clicking on
your link will not get to your site. Obviously, this is important! We
want anyone clicking on our links to make it to our website. Web4URL
is a deep links directory so we do accept links that are pages inside
of your website or subdomains, but many directories do not allow this.
Make sure you check when submitting your site to a directory what
their policies are on this.
Description - This is as important as the Title. Write a brief but
informative description of your website. Make sure its clear, to the
point, and you use full and complete sentences. Check for
misspellings and proper grammer. Again, this is your first
impression. Make sure its an attractive one
Category - Make sure you are choosing the best category for your
site. It should be relevant to what your site is about. Many
directory owners wont take the time to put your site in its proper
category if you submitted it incorrectly. They will just reject the
listing. So it benifical to you to get this right from the start.
Contact Name - This pretty much speaks for itself. Some website
owners aren’t big on using their first or full names, which is fine.
Some other acceptable names for this field are : Webmaster, Admin,
Info, and Support.
E-Mail Address - Its important that you use a valid e-mail address
here. The majority of directory owners appreciate and value your
privacy, so they wont sell or give out your e-mail addresses. You
also want to make sure that both the owner of the directory and
visiting users can contact you with any questions or comments they
might have. You’ll want to know if your site was accepted in the
directory and you’ll also want to know if someone that found your
listing on the directory has a question or comment.
Keywords - Keywords are important so that when users are searching
for a site they are interested in, whether through Search Engines or
the directory’s search features, they can find sites that are most
relevant to what they are looking for. Finding the best keywords to
use for your site can be rather difficult. My suggestion would be to
do some research on keywords prior to submitting your sites to
directories and search engines. There is a free simple but good
keyword tool that you can find here. I also found another one here
called Keyword Suggestions for Google Tool.
These are the major componets to have correct when submitting your
site(s) to a directory.
I also want to note that the major offenders of incorrect listing
submission appear to be Directory Submission Services. The ones that
promise to submit your site manually to hundreds of directories. I’ve
seen sites submitted that have the wrong Title name for the URL,
spelling and grammer mistakes, and submissions to categories that are
completely opposite of what the submitted website is about. If your
going to pay someone to submit your site to directories, make sure
you get a complete list of all the directories your site was
submitted to. Check those directories on a regular basis to ensure
your site was listed, and listed correctly.
I’m not going to go into it too much on this post, but I do believe
with a little bit of time and effort, you can easily submit your site
to hundreds of directories without having to pay somone to do it. Here
are some resources to assist you in doing it:
RoboForm - A great tool for automatically filling in the forms on
directories so you know it was done correctly each time.
Directory Critic - Directory Critic has hundreds of directories
listed with great information / specifics on each of the directories.
