SEOposition offers manual directory submissions to only the best directories online. For a list of a few we submit to and prices, please visit our directory submissions overview section.

So, how do we determine which are the best Internet directories? We've been submitting to directories for over six years and have built a comprehensive list of the directories that have benefited our clients most with improving their rankings and their direct traffic.

Even though there are thousands of directories online, there are really only about 100 to 200 that are really worth the time or money to submit your site. Since we first offered this service back in 2000, our list has become more and more focused on niche directories, directories that are human edited, and ones that provide a unique or diverse offering versus the standard directories online.

In 2004 and 2005 the number of web directories that were created was at an all time high. Many of these new directories are here today and gone tomorrow. We do not waste time or money on anything less than the highest quality directories to submit your web site.

Our Directory Submission Service Includes

• A thorough evaluation of your site's needs, such as current ranking, where your site might be listed already, and which directories we feel will give you the most value.
• Hand-written titles and descriptions determined by our writers based on a specific keyword "weight" we assign.
• An assessment and recommendations of the page or pages we'll use from your site for directory submissions. After all, this is the landing spot for visitors!
• A complete status sheet (bi-monthly) including where your site has been accepted.

What's our Criteria for Directories?

• Is the directory search engine friendly?
• What type of link and how many do they provide?
• Overall age of directory
• Focus or "mission" of the directory
• Number of sites linking to the directory
• Ranking for particular terms or topics within search engines from the directory
• The directory's page caching cycle - is it quick, slow, or practically non-existent?
• and more...

We also gauge the directory's own traffic using Alexa.com and another proprietary software for estimating site traffic.

Our "Best of the Best" directory list consists of web directories that will not only drive the most traffic to your site, but also increase your chances of getting indexed faster. More importantly, our goal is to get your web site ranked better in Google, Yahoo, and MSN by establishing better quality links pointing to your web site.
