Free Directories Help
I was a bit lazy last year, working on all kinds of new projects and I got away from the basics of SEO/SEM for many of our mainstream sites. If you follow along on many of the big SEO forums like DP or SEO Chat, then you know that free directories are launched at the rate of about one or two a day. These are probably the easiest way for anyone to pick up a “one-way” backlink from another website. Hopefully, it will be put on a site with some decent content and links to other decent sites and might even be related to yours. So, one day a few months ago, I decided to have a girl that works for me start to submit our sites to a list of free directories I had found. I started noticing that one of our sites that is very old began to see big jumps in the SERPs via the DP Keyword Tracking Tool. I had not touched the site (haven’t really touched it for over 5 years) and I had not done any kind of linking for the site ever. I realized that it was one of the sites that had been submitted to the free directories. Roach, my nickname for her, had submitted the site, using various different anchor text, to about 70 free directories and it appears that I was now starting to see the affects of this. I looked at another site that was also submitted around the same time and realized that I was seeing some considerable change there as well.
What does all of this mean? A couple of things. First, stick to the basics. Don’t get caught up in the “latest and greatest” things that people talk about all day long on forums. Submit your site to free directories regularly. Try and find a site that keeps up on a list of free directories and submit to them on a regular basis. Second, when in doubt, follow rule number one.

If you are willing to buy real estate, you will have to get the mortgage loans. Moreover, my father all the time takes a auto loan, which seems to be really firm.

The way I see it with the ever changing news its hard to keep up to date on current facts. Most of these commenters arent taking into effect the change of the global economy and how much of a different it has on news technologies / medical growth / economic / political issues. But anyways nice read, defiantly enjoyed your post. Found your blog on google search engines btw… most people always wonder how people are finding them.
