What are benefits of Directories submission in seo?

[pratapemblix]

Directory submission will give your site listed in different places where people look normally for the list of businesses. It will also gives you a backlink while putting the site in the list. There are so many tons and thousands of directory submission sites. Some of the sites will hold your link upto 1 year for free, some of them hold for life time with some price. Reciprocal links are also available for free.

Directory submission is one of the ways of getting backlinks on our website. But while doing directory submission confirm that the site is good or not.

The directories give us more back links.

The top most benefit is back link. Also directory submission put you on different places.

The greatest benefit is obtaining some of the "link juice" passed from the page rank and domain authority of the directory. Directory submissions are great for newly established websites that don't currently have any domain authority. A handful of backlinks from high PR relevant directories can do wonders for the SEO of a website. Due to googles algorithms and their crack down on spam and duplicate content, I would avoid free directory's unless you are 100% sure they are high quality. Also, I would avoid mass directory submissions, only a handful is all that's needed. I am the webmaster for a paid directory, but we offer a free submission to websites that have a 4 or less spam score, and a domain authority of 30 or higher. We like to provide incentives to webmasters who care about the quality of their sites and we know that these sites will not affect the quality of ours, only makes it better.

Directory submissions give you one-way links
Search engines give importance to the number of inbound links to your site and from web directories you get one-way inbound links. Web directories, while including your links, don’t expect you to put their link on your website. Search engines discourage link-exchange tactics but they consider one-way inbound links with high regard.
Directory submissions allow the anchor text of your choice
When you submit your links to web directories they allow you to enter a site title (site title is different from the URL) that can contain your keywords. This generates SEO anchor text for you and this helps you improve your search engine rankings.

Directory submission is an outdated techniques and is not sustainable for businesses working with futuristic approach. Most importantly google only improves the site rankings based on quality of back-links which involves complex algorithms
