When you submit your website or article URL to all the major search engine directories, you will get some good links back to your site and this helps to better index and rank your site or article. Of course, all of this means more free traffic to your site, blog, or article. You must submit your website or article URL to the following major directories:

Google

Bing/Yahoo – Bing now powers Yahoo

DMOZ

Yandex

GoGuides

Joeant

The manual submission process may take some time, but it’s worth it because it can help you get more traffic back to your website, blog, or article URL. And as we all know, increasing your website traffic will increase your sales.

If you don’t want to bother with submitting the manual yourself, you can outsource the work to a Fiverr consultant. This will, of course, cost you $5. If you use Fiverr, do not use search engine submission consultants from Pakistan, China, or India. Many times they will fake the work and create fake traffic to your article or blog, and because of this, many cannot be trusted to do the necessary manual work.

When you have submitted your site or article URL to the directories, it will be listed and those listings can last for many years. So, as you can see, it’s well worth the time and effort of shipping. This is an important step in getting free organic traffic to your website. Indexing in directories can take from one week to three weeks. You should keep looking for your URL in search engines to see if it has been indexed. On Google, you can do this by typing the following into a Google search box:

website: yourwebsite.com

You can promote your website very well through articles and then submit the article URLs to search directories. Every time you write an article and submit it to a search directory, you have a good chance to 1) use your author bio in the article to generate interest and curiosity among readers who find your article and click the link there and they will go to your website and 2) you increase the page rank of your website through the backlinks generated by the articles, once found through search engines.

If you need the links to these directories or the links to the instructions that show you how to submit to the major search directories, just contact me and I’ll send them to you.
