Directory submissions as a Promotion Strategy
Friday, August 3, 2007
Yesterday, we have talked about the Article Marketing. What about other marketing strategies? Have you ever heard of directory submission? There are a huge number of directories available, even I have one directory for Ad Publishers. Most Often, it is free to submit your site to more than a hundred of directories with high PR. You will be able to specify submission title (e.g. anchor text for you link), your description and your link. Good news is that it will not cost much to submit your web-site to directories starting with PR4. But let's think about content where your link will be listed.
If you are submitting business management related web-site, then you should carefully choose a category to place your link, the perfect would be "Business > Management", but there will be also a lot of other links. Take this blog as an exmaple, I would choose Computers and Internet > Blogs > Make Money to be my subcategory. There is no guaranty that Google will treat these links and their description as related to your niche. But directories submission works now fine, it is a cheaper option (or addition) to article marketing.
There are also a number of methods. For instance, it is talked widely, that you should participate in forums for your topic. This is a great idea, but it will cost you much more time to find and answer questions in forums. Also, if you would like to hire someone to answer posts in forum you will have to pay much more than in the case of article marketing or directory submission.
Tomorrow, I will share one useful and free software with you that enables you to streamline your submission process. Stay tuned.
Usually certifications like 640-801 and 350-029 become easy if one has 642-523 or 642-552 to his credit. If not, one can always go for a 70-294 or a 70-297 at any time.
