A directory is organized into categories and subcategories. Human editors review
each directory submission and evaluate the site's quality and relevance.
Success only comes when you submit a high quality site to the proper
category. Because the directory submission process is geared so specifically
to each particular directory, we ONLY submit by hand. An automated submission
program can't adequately submit to any directory because it isn't able
to study the directory's structure and determine which category is best.
Directories are very popular with Internet users and Yahoo is the biggest,
most popular directory. 100Hot.com, a Web site that tracks the most
popular Web sites in many different categories, consistently ranks Yahoo
as one of the most visited sites on the Web. Yahoo is also the most
difficult directory to get into. We make sure we follow their submission
guidelines exactly to
increase your chances.
Manual Search Engine Submission Takes Time
Although the manual submission process is the most effective, it involves
many steps and can take a long time. These are the steps we take to
ensure our submissions are successful:
- Research search engines and identify those that we want to submit
to.
- Locate the "Add URL" link on the first search engine.
- Enter the URL of your site, your name, and other information the
search engine requires.
- Repeat steps 2 and 3 for each of the remaining sites.
We are entering a lot of repetitive information here, so we have to
be very careful about typographical errors. It can take weeks or months
before your site ever actually appears in the search engine's database.
You may have to submit to search engines several times before they index
your site.
