Another important strategy of Internet marketing is to pay for inclusion in web directories. Currently, there are hundreds of companies that sell you hundreds of inclusions in directories. While researching for relevant web directories you should look for certain things -you should consider how high the directory is listed in Google for its name (also look for the number of competing sites for this term!). For example, you search for high PR directories to save time. Just for a Google search you’ll usually get some forum posts as results. Then take the list, visit the directories and look how they are named. Go back to Google and type their name in the search bar.
Check directory PR. Now, most of the sites that sell you inclusion in hundreds of directories will tell you, for example, they will place your site in PR2-PR7 directories. However, as always, there’s a catch and that’s why you should rather do the research yourself and invest your money in worthy directories.
Click on the most relevant category for your web site and check PR on that site as well. And most of the time you will notice the site isn’t ranked in Google. Now, it doesn’t mean that Google hasn’t indexed the site or that it won’t notice your link… It’s just that such a link won’t give much weight to your site.
Check out what kind of linking directory uses! Here you just have to move your mouse on one of the links in your category and see what kind of link appears in the status bar of your browser. Try to make sure that the link leads directly to the web sites! There is an exception to this last rule, nevertheless. Some exceptionally high traffic directories use the second type of links but are still worth investing in due to the amount of traffic they are likely to bring your site.
