Tip #1: PROPER DATABASE
Make sure, before you start doing directory submission for your
blog or website, first make a proper database of Directory Submission
sites list. Pick and use those sites from your database one by one. It
will help you to remember which site you have already used to do
submission and from where you have to start now.
You have no need to register for an account to submit your link.
You can directly submit your links without any sign up. Why waste your
precious time to create account on multiple directory submission sites.
Just go to the directories and start submitting the link.
When you are ready to do directory submission, make sure you first select the most appropriate category and then click on Submit Link
button. Most of newbie bloggers directly click on Submit Link without
choosing the category. You can select the category later also but it
will be difficult to choose most appropriate category from the list of
all the categories.
To take proper benefit of your hard work, you need to submit your
site’s link in proper category. Don’t submit your link in any irrelevant
category. If there is no appropriate category in that directory
submission site, then try to pick as relevant category as possible and
submit your link in that category.
After selecting the most appropriate category, you need to click on
Submit link. But before clicking the Submit link, first copy the URL of
that category from your browser’s address bar and keep that URL in any
text editor. You can use MS-Excel and prepare a proper report of that URLs so that you can easily find your link after approval.
During filling the form to submit your link, always keep in your
mind that you must fill as unique information as possible. By unique
information, I mean to say that don’t fill same data (especially
description) in all the directory submissions. Each submission should be
unique and original.
All directory submission sites provide three options for submitting the link, Featured links, Regular links and Regular links with reciprocal.
Always select regular links because selecting featured links will
charge you some cost. Why pay if we can submit our link for free. And if
you select regular links with reciprocal, then you need to put link of
that directory on your blog. And nobody will like to build blog a link
farm.
Once you submit your link in directory submission sites, make sure
you check your email account for confirmation link. Usually it takes few
days to receive confirmation link. You need to check your emails daily.
Once you receive the email, click on confirmation link to confirm your
email address. You submission will not approve if you fail to confirm
your email address.
You need to make a plan with your keywords after doing a keyword
research. Select your keywords and then do at most 10 directory
submissions for single keyword. Never exclude this limit for same day.
You can do more submissions next day. Always try to change your keywords
day by day. Never target same keyword whenever you use web directories
for link building.

Tip #10: SUBMIT SINGLE LINK
If you are targeting different pages with different keywords, then
don’t submit every links in same directory. Only submit one link per
directory. It will give your blog more exposure and popularity in search
results and your blog will always be protected from every SEO
penalties.
Summary
These were the top 10 tips for directory submission for SEO. In
short I just want to say that always submit your links with different
description in each directory and try to target those web directories
which have good Page rank and better Alexa ranking. Only those directories can provide quality backlinks for your blog.
