Directory submissions are an important part of the link building process offered by many SEO Outsourcings. Listing in good directories automatically brings in quality backlinks, increasing link popularity, increase your ranking in search engines, traffics and many more which all of are described below:

1. Get Your Website Indexed

Search engines like Google, Yahoo and MSN send out spiders-crawlers (Genarally between 10 to 20 days) to search the web for new sites that come up everyday.For example, If you using the "add URL" page to submit your website to Google then it takes 4-6 weeks to listing site in it. When using directory submissions, you can get your website listed in Google and other major search engines in a matter of days sometimes because major search engines find new websites through incoming links and directory submission is the best way to get incoming links.

If your site is new or just been launched, a web directory link would help the search engines in finding your site and including it in their database. So given the benefit of web directory links, it only makes sense to get your site submitted to as many directories as possible.

Thus,If you have a new site and you want search engines to know of its existence, then there couldn't be an easier and better way to let a search engine know than having it find your site through links in various directories.

2. Get One Way Links - Improve Search Engine Rankings & Increase Link Popularity

You should use directory submissions as part of your websites optimization and promotion because of the fact that obtaining incoming links for your website is one of the most important ranking factors in the major search engines ranking algorithms, especially in competitive keyword markets. Search engines give importance to the number of inbound links to your site when ranking it for a given position during search and one way links are thought to be valued more than reciprocal links (when links are exchanged with other sites) and also obtaining incoming links from directory submission or others for your website is one of the most important ranking factors in the major search engines ranking algorithms. Most directories provide one way links, which is beneficial from the SEO aspect of your site.

Thus, directory links can help give a boost to your SEO efforts and it's also helpful in giving a boost to your already existing search engine rankings and increase the link popularity of your site.

3. Target Specific Keywords/Keywords Phrases

Most directories allow you to provide a link with keywords describing your site. It's not easy getting links to your site with the keywords you want and directories serve as the easiest medium for getting such links. Getting links with targeted keywords / phrases can have search engines favoring your site over others when ranking for the given terms.

Using varied link anchor text can increase the possibility of your website being found under these keywords or phrases when they are typed into a search engine. After all, if you want your website to be successful, it would have to be found by people and the best way for that would be your site coming up on top for the searches that matter. When people search using particular words, you would want your site showing up in the first few results for those words.

Most directories are free to submit to Given the benefits and most directories being free to submit to, it makes business sense to having your site listed in as many SEO friendly directories as possible. After all, you don't lose anything for doing so.

4. Other Advantages:

* Your website Google Pagerank can increase.
* Your website link popularity can increase (more backlinks)
* Your website can get more thoroughly indexed by search engines (get more pages in)

The bottom line is...the numbers add up to directory submission is a must to increase the numbers of your website.

Make the Leap to Home Business Success

Before you can have a successful home based business, you must first possess 3 "intangibles." These are things that must come from WITHIN you.

===> Intangible 1 <===

First,you must have a strong WHY.

Why MUST you have a successful home business? What is driving you? What is it that you CAN'T have in your life anymore and/or what is it that you absolutely MUST HAVE now?

For me, I couldn't stand working 12+ hours a day anymore and missing the experience of my children growing up. I also absolutely HAD TO HAVE the freedom of being able to control my life and finances through a little box (laptop computer) that I could carry with me anywhere in the world and not be tied to anyone's time pressures or demands but my own. That was my carrot and my stick. I felt a great pain deep in my gut of missing out on my children's lives and the incredible freedom that succeeding in a home based business would provide for me. I found my why. You MUST find yours.

===> Intangible 2 <===

You must BELIEVE that it is possible.

If you don't believe that it's POSSIBLE for you to have a successful home based business or make your living from home, you won't. It's that simple.

For me, figuring out that it was possible was just a matter of realizing that many other people were ALREADY making great money working from home. If they could do it, I could too. It would just be a matter of figuring out what those people were doing and then adapting it to my situation.

There is no shortage of undeniable PROOF that people (millions of them) are making money working from home. Just get online and do some research and you'll find countless testimonials and stories of REAL PEOPLE making real money on the Internet. Or head to your local bookstore and you'll find the same documented evidence of this fact. Truth is, it's getting easier and easier to make money with your own home based business.

I've always said that "affiliate marketing" (a simple way to make money from home) is the job of the future. In the old days, you had to go to a potential employer, apply for the position and hope for the best. Now you can simply go to any company you want, fill out their affiliate application and start work immediately. Affiliates are the new working class. In fact, making money with affiliate programs or making your living on the Internet is WAY MORE than possible. It is pretty much (or will be soon enough) unavoidable now. Affiliate marketing is the "job" of the future that's already here TODAY.

===> Intangible 3 <===

You must be willing to MAKE THE LEAP.

Ready, FIRE, then aim... This is the operating philosophy you MUST adopt to succeed with a home based business.

That's backwards for most people who like to aim before they fire. The fact is that home based business success is a moving target... The only thing constant about it is change. You need to stop analyzing the game and simply jump into it. You can't learn from the outside... You have to be *IN THE RING* to truly understand and profit from it. In fact, this is a business where you can truly be earning WHILE you're still learning...

The lesson here is that you will never really be READY to start a home based business. You simply have to start one. It's like having children... You're never really ready, but when it happens you adapt and grow and therefore you succeed. This is what I call: "Making the Leap"!

The good news is that the cost of failure with having your own home based business is very small. In the "brick and mortar" world you need to evaluate things very carefully before you decide to open up a business. It's almost always necessary to invest thousands of dollars to get an offline business off the ground. However, on the Internet you can often start a successful business for less than $100. The Plug-In Profit Site is a great example of this where you can get your own money-making site setup free within 24 hours:

You simply need get IN THE GAME... Each moment that you stay "out there," you're wasting valuable time that you could be learning and skills necessary to build a successful home based business. In fact, if you're not in the game yet, you're ALREADY behind the times... Make the leap to starting and building a successful home business TODAY!
