Manual Searchengin Submission
Manual directory submission and manual search engine submission are two services that may sound similar, however they are not in practise. Search engine submission involves ensuring your website is listed in a wide selection of engines, however in practicality this is not a worthwhile service for a number of reasons. The first reason for this is that the big 3 search engines control the majority of online search and therefore being listed in 3,000 minor search engines is of nearly no use at all. The second reason is that being included in search engines is not enough, it is having higher listings in search engines that is advantageous, and that will result in more visitors to your website. That is where Whitelake Solution come in...
Directory submission services will result in your website being included in search engines, but the true power is in the way directory submission will increase your position in the search engine results pages. Link building is the most important element of any SEO strategy, and attaining relevant links with relevant anchor text will increase your positions in the SERPs for terms that are beneficial to your organization. With perfectly tweaked on-site factors, directory submission will increase your Google Page Rank and increase your position in the SERPs through delivering permanent non-reciprocal links from websites that want to link to you to increase their user experience.
At Whitelake Solution we understand how directories operate and we also understand which directories will deliver the best results for your website. This includes considerations towards the architecture of the directory, the way they format links and the link popularity of the page that your website will appear on. That is not where our consideration ends. We are able to submit to directories that are most relevant to your business location and sector, whilst our free directory submission list will never stay the same longer than 3 months. At Whitelake Solution we understand that efficiency, competence and strategic thinking is what our clients require.
The directory submission market continues to grow year on year, as SEO agencies and internet marketers develop their digital marketing strategies. So why are household names and web-savvy start-ups opting for manual directory submission rather than the products promoted by sales letters like the one below?
“Completely automated search engine submission service that submits your site to 90,000 search engines at a click of mouse ... IN SECONDS!"
The reason is simple. They don't work. The reasons why they don't work involve an appreciation of the barriers that need to be overcome for such software to operate effectively.
- Different categories and sections. (Some may have as little as 12 main categories whilst others have more than 3000 categories classified into sub categories and inner categories. The category names are not consistent across the directories)
- Different types of form input. Some search engines will ask for very few details of your website whereas a dedicated account is needed in others for submitting your website. You need to undertake a detailed registration process by providing phone numbers, address etc.
- Registration and confirmation methods. Most of the search engines and directories need a confirmation from your email to avoid automatic submission.
- CAPTCHA (IMAGE Confirmation) – A picture with numbers which have to be manually entered. This is also to avoid automated submission.
- Approval of your website.
- Maximum number of submissions per user (some of them restrict to a single submission per user)
- Frequency of submission.
Manual directory submission is the process of analyzing where and what directories will have the best impact on your bottom line whilst taking appropriate measures to increase acceptance rate and deliver effective links.
- Analyzing your website, doing the submission text with title, description, key words and creating a unique account.
- Deciding on appropriate directories for submission and submitting them in the right category.
- Modifying the submission text as per the need of various search engines and directories.
- Confirming the submissions (Image confirmation, email confirmations) wherever needed and co coordinating with the editors of directories whenever required.
