These are some common questions asked by people on Directory Submission?

1. Will Directory Submission Cause Google To Put My Site In SANDBOX?
2. Will Directory Submission Works?
3. How Many Directories should I submit My Site to?
4. How to tell whether a directory is worth submitting or not?
5. Directory Submission Is Boring? How and where can I outsource this work for cheap?
6. Should I go for paid inclusion?

Here are the answers in order to all the above questions asked.

1. This is the most common misconception that people have. Directory Submission doesn’t cause any problem to your site if done correctly. If you try to use automated submission or spam, then there is all possibility of your site getting sandboxed. Generally Google allows around 40-50 backlinks daily to your site. More than that amount of links can be dangerous as Google thinks that you are getting the links by spamming. So one should submit to around 100-150 directories per day. Every directory takes their own sweet time to list your site. So even if 100-150 submission is done you can expect a max of 10-15 backlinks/day.

2. Directory Submission works and there is no fear of sandboxing your site.

3. 100-150 directories per day.

4. You can decide whether the Directory is worth submitting or not based on the following factors
Page Rank of the webpage your site will be listed on.
Age of the directory [For how long the Directory is Up].
Time take by the directory to review and index your site.
The present Number of sites already listed on the directory. The higher the number is better.
Check whether the directory is accepting P*** websites. If then do avoid such directories. [Very important: Don’t mix porn with your website].

5. I usually outsource this work at forums.digitalpoint.com. Look for people who are doing Submission from long time and have good amount of itraders.

6. It depends upon your budget you have got for link building.
