Damn the PR, Full Submit Ahead!

Damn the PR, Full Submit Ahead!

I just read an article here that says what I have been saying for quite a while. The author talks about submitting to smaller directories even if their PR is zero or very low. The reason is that even if they are small now, there is a good chance that they will grow and get bigger in the future. This is less likely if everyone just ignores them.

If people were not always so short-sighted, they might realize that directory submissions is a two way street, and this goes for the directory owner as well as the person submitting a site.

A good, well-written submission may be small, but it can still be good content and have value. An average directory listing provides value as a way for visitors to that site to find it, AND also provides a link back to the site which may have some value.

Good Listing =  Good Content = Good Link

Those that are submitting sites and those that own directories and search engines should have the attitude that they both need each other and show proper respect. Just as poor quality submissions and ignoring posted submission rules show no respect, so to does excessively fussy rules, return link requirements, and most listing fees. It is not realistic to expect someone that is submitting their site to pay even $1 to do so at all the sites that they have to choose from. By not charging a fee, directory owners allow themselves to get much more good content for their site and attract those that click, which continues long after a site has been submitted.  (hris
