What are some benefits in doing this?

Well, to start, you are contributing on a site that may help you, or has helped you in the past. Contributing, develops a communication between you and the site owner. The site owner is always checking comments, believe me, and if you say something informative, or useful, he may check out your site, and if he likes it, write a post about it. You are also getting a link on there site. If it is a no follow, who cares, you still have a backlink, and they may have Top Commenter plug-in installed, which leads me to my next one.

Top Commenter can get you hundreds of backlinks fast. If you find a blog that has the top commenter plug-in installed, you can gain a link on everyone of there pages. Just don’t go on and spam there site with your comments. Keep them relevant to the post, and they will reward you with a link, abuse it, and they’ll just remove you from top comments, and also the page itself!

Another way, similar to commenting, is taking part in forums. Placing your link in your signature is a great way to get your site out there. That is another way you may have been brought to this page.

If you don’t believe the power of signature and comments, check out how many backlinks Diggalive has in yahoo, and it has been live for 2 weeks:

Finding the Directories

There are plenty of sources of directories of course, but you want the ones that are going to add your link the fastest, and ones that have at least a 1 page rank. Install the Google toolbar, and set it to display page rank. Some sites have pending links of 1,000+ , we’ll skip those.

Some other sources besides Google:

Digital point has a great category for directories and they are on their daily approving links. They will also welcome any site as long as it’s in their guidelines, with a fast approval.

Also sharing directory lists with others can prove to be quite helpful, as long as they are high ranking and active.

Submitting

Name: -Is not displayed to the public and/or is not indexed therefore it is not so vital.
URL: – This is your link-period. Make sure that this is all correct or you will have to spend extra time correcting the problem, which will set you back. As always directory links are do follow.

Anchor Text: This is very important part. There are two ways to accomplish this. One, is to submit them all with the same anchor text, ie your keyword. Or the second, which is doing it for multiple variations of the keywords.

Description: Take the time out and write a drafts, this way for each one you have something different to avoid duplicate content. Don’t even use text from your site, make it completely unique.

This should get you going on your submitting.  You can do it yourself, or pay someone to do it for you on WickedFire. 

Do you submit your sites do Directories?
What approach do you take?  Pay or do it yourself?
