Some questions on increasing link popularity for a website!

[3Dprof4Online]

Here, I would like to raise some questions on how to increase web link directory submission efficiency and mutually beneficial practice exchange. What incoming link building techniques do you use in practice? Do you prefer manual or automatic submission? What directories do you submit websites to? Paid or free and why? As for me, I suggest the special attention should be paid on description when submitting website to directories! Different website descriptions should be used for each directory. Don’t use the same description for several directories! Search engines can accept it as duplicate content and incoming link will have no value! For this reason I do manual submission only. Also I think it is expedient to perform directory on regular basis! If you can add something or share your practical experience are welcome to go on this post!

Better to submit manual, that is most effective.

I still prefer Manual Submission
If you have the 'budget' then consider paid submission (it really depends on you if you would like to spend $)

Yes, automatic submition is often considered as spam and can have a negative impact on search engine rankings!

In manual submissions you can choose a quality directory we all know that quality is more effective than quantity.

Hello..
I think you should do manual dir. submission..sometimes Automated directory submissions are not trustworthy..

& You should try to submit your site link to quality sites..

The benefit of manual submission is that you can change the title and description, so that it loots a lot more natural than having 500 links all saying the same thing.
