One of the best ways to get good traffic for your website is to submit your website to many directories online. These directories are categorised (languages, health, entertainment, etc.), so when submitting your website, you suggest the suitable category that matches with it.
Often, you will be able to submit to a sub-category inside the major category. For example, let us say that your website is about aromatherapy. In the submission request, you can suggest “health” to be the main category.
Some of online directory leaders are MSN, Yahoo!, and DMOZ directory. To get a listing in these online directories is not free. Sometimes, you can submit for free in some search engine directories but they don’t give you any guarantee on how quickly your website will be accepted to be indexed.
So, if you need your listing reviewed faster, you have to pay premium listing fees to get an expedited listing service and they can review your website within few days then if your website is accepted, you would get it listed for a full year and then you can renew it in the next year to gain traffic from that source for longer time.
Listing at the major directories will pay off its costs in many and different ways:
• You will get high traffic to your website and your website will get a higher rank in search engines which will help you gain organic type traffic as people usually search in the directory listings and browse the listed websites.
• You will get many back links to your website. Certainly, this will give more traffic to your website.
