Tips to Pick Directory Categories

Posted in Link Building, Search Engine Optimization on Feb 22, 2008

Oftentimes a site will fit many different categories. When choosing a category to submit to in a directory, I look at a few different ideas.

  • Is my site likely to be accepted if I submit to this category? I tend to be more conservative when submitting to a free directory than if I am submitting to a paid directory.
  • Are there reasons that this organization, or other sites outside of this organization, are going to place extra emphasis on (or otherwise link into) this category?
  • How many links are listed in this category?
  • Where does this category fit in the directory structure?
  • How related is my site to the sites listed in this category?
