Welcome to Part 2 of my Building a Back-Link System
Top Methods Of Building Back‐links # 2
DIRECTORY BACK-LINKS
Directory submissions are probably the most popular method of generating back-links in a short amount of time, however there is one thing to keep in mind when using directories to create your campaign.
You want the search engines to see a natural pattern of increased back-links to your website rather than an instant flood of irrelevant links pointing to your website. This is really important if you want to avoid being penalized by search engines like www.Google.com and risk losing your current position in the search results.
The best approach to take when building back-links with directory submissions is to gradually increase the number of links that are featured within each directly. In addition, you also want to choose relevant categories to place your website listing in, using targeted keywords in both your listing title and description.
Posting your website to directories can be a time consuming, tedious process, so to save time you could consider using a software program that will submit your website into the major directories while allowing you to customize the description, titles, keywords and anchor text used within your listings.
My favorite product on the marketplace right now is:
Directory Submitter
While Directory Submitter will not automate the entire process of submitting your website into the directories, it will reduce the amount of time it takes to create individual submissions.
This is important because with automated software programs that will mass‐submit your website into hundreds, if not thousands of directories, you risk having your website flagged for review by the search engines who see an influx of links pointing to your website in a short amount of time.
With directory submitter, you can choose the number of directories that your website will be submitted to as well as customize additional information regarding your website, giving you full control over the way your site is distributed and submitted.
Directory Submitter also provides you with a detailed listing of directories that you can choose to submit to, and will also help you obtain one‐way links by filtering through directories that offer a “no linkback” system.
In the next post I will be talking about SOCIAL BOOKMARKING BACK‐LINKS, please leave your comments below as always I enjoy your feedback.
To your success
Thanks for reading

Hi Pauline, as a local business interwebs bod local directories, review sites and niche directories play a big part in getting easy links and citations. Here’s the but… Google have recently started to penalise and deindex some directories (it was first noticed by people who “do SEO” far more than I do in May).
Over the last 12 months, I’ve also found that manually submitting to the major directories gets better results – the major ones being human verified. Since all directories and reviews site have their own quirks it’s easy to get the information in the wrong place or missing altogether with a bulk submit tool.
Yes it is a boring pain in the backside manually submitting!
Anyway, the point of the comment – check the directories you are submitting to. Submitting to a deindexed site is pointless, submitting to a penalised site is pointless – pointless links are spammy links and we all know how Google likes to peck those these days!

Hi Jan
Thanks so much for stopping by and leaving a comment
You make some very good points, I will certainly look into the directories and see if they are deindexed, thanks for sharing this with my readers.
Have a great day

Hi Pauline,
Thank you for this great tips.
For some weird reasons I have a tendency not to believe in automatic tools, I know it’s ridiculous right? But, I need to get over that and I am going to try the directory submitter. Thanks for making me do it

Hi Sylviane
Automatic tools are not for everyone but they can save so much time, give it a go and then you can decide if it’s for you or not. I would love to know how you find it
Have a great day

Hey Pauline,
I remember when I was first getting things set up I used a directory service but for the life of me I can’t remember which one right now. It did it automatically so I didn’t have to so I agree with using a service like this. At least it worked for me.
Sounds like you’ve got a great series going on here young lady. Backlinks is what everyone wants so I’m sure you’ll continue to share some great information with us. This was a good one for sure.
Thanks again and enjoy your week.
