A web directory is a directory on the World Wide Web that categorizes web sites and provides links to each one. Unlike search engines, it lists web sites by category and subcategory. This categorization is mostly based on the content of the whole web site, instead of a page or a keyword. Here, web sites can only be listed in only one or two categories. Site owners may directly submit their site to be included in the directory to be reviewed by the directory’s editors for fitness.
There are web directories that are very general in scope which list a wide range of categories. Other more specialized directories, or niche directories, focus on restricted topics and sectors such as the business directories.
Business directories function very much like every other search engine: the user types a keyword which relates to a particular topic, and the search engine processes all content within its database which has any relation to the keyword. The results are presented to the user as a list in order of decreasing relevance. Business directories the search engine processes all content within its database and results are presented as a list in order of importance. Business directories are specialized in business topics and financial content. Income for business directories is generated from paid advertisements, and sponsorships. A business directory has many listings depending on the price paid for inclusion. Submission of websites to directories is a common SEO. Business directories give users an immediate connection to online businesses and stores.
Business directories focus mainly on topics of business and financial content.
Business directories have a database containing numerous business articles. This aids the users who are searching for specific material, or for users that have a vague idea about a topic and want to clarify it. Business articles can be a list of tips on resume composition, to steps and considerations in merging companies.
Business directories generate their income from paid advertisements, links which are published on the site and sponsorships. A business directory has many listings depending on the price paid for inclusion. This could be as free submission, reciprocal link, paid submissions, no follow, meaning search engines will not follow the link, featured listing where the link is given a premium position in a category or other sections of the directory such as the homepage, bid for position, and the affiliate links where the directory earns commission for referred customers from the listed websites.
Submission of websites to web directories is considered as a common SEO (search engine optimization) technique to get vital back-links for the submitted web site. Web directory submission can not be fully automated like search engine submissions. Manual directory submission is a tedious and time consuming and is usually outsourced by the webmasters. An online business directory can supply users with an immediate connection to online businesses and stores. Users are able to browse the contents of the sites by a series of clicks.

One of the most mysterious aspects of Home Based Business is how to get high quality one-way links that helps you get a higher ranking in the search engines, attract more targeted traffic and improve your Google Page Rank (PR). But I will let you in on the inner workings of the system, so that you can start generating hundreds of links to your site, blog or content sites. Below is just one of the many ways of generating massive traffic and back links.
Write Articles:
This is by far the best way of getting high PR links and traffic to your site. Write about 5-10 articles specifically related to your Network Marketing niche. Once you have the articles finished, go to your favorite search engine and search for “Article Submission”, or “Submit Your Article” etc. There should be hundreds of results.
Remember to utilize these key components:
•A key Headline
•Utilize key words in the body of the text
•Conclude article with a direct call to action
•Sleep on it prior to publishing it
One of the keys to running a successful article campaign is knowing when to submit your article. Studies show that 35% of
Internet Marketing research is done on Monday’s, with Tuesday coming in at 20%. For some reason most network marketers are more motivated at the beginning of the week. These two days seem to be optimal for success…
Next, submit your articles and wait for them to be listed. Be sure to include a resource box that describes you and your website.
The most important thing to remember is that the immediate goal for article writing is to generate traffic to your web site. This is achieved by writing compelling copy, and including your keywords. Keyword utilization is high on the list as far as Search Engine Optimization. Most testing has shown that keywords MUST be used in the title, the body of the text, as well as the resource box. Another secret is to use keywords above the fold, or for lack of better words before the prospect begins to scroll down the page.

No CommentsArticle marketing is so important today that article services are becoming more significant to your online success than even a high Google listing. The reason for that is very simple, although before going into why I say that, I should stress that I have written a highly regarded ebook on search engine optimization (SEO) and how to use it to get almost immediate and high listings on Google and the other search engines. This is therefore contradictory to my own products.
What that means is that not too long ago I regarded search engine marketing as being the best and most profitable way of promoting and advertising your website and products or service. That, however, has all changed. While SEO is still important, it is not on web pages that you should focus your efforts, but on your writing. If that puzzles you, then read on and learn how article marketing and article writing services can make you money without any expenditure.
By writing articles you can promote your products in many different ways. You can use articles to promote your website much more effectively that spending a lot of time or money on search engine optimization. Although SEO is a very important aspect of most online marketing campaigns, have you ever stopped to think, and checked up on what is actually being listed on Google above you - assuming you can even find your own web pages on Google, or any other search engine?
Probably not, but if you did then you are as likely to find articles published on article directory pages as you are regular website pages. These days, search engine listings are just as likely to be article directory pages, and for free advertising you should write and submit articles that relate to your website or product. Article services sites can do it for you if you can’t write your own, and the article directories have SEO professionals to give your article the best chance of being listed above any website covering your niche. Article marketing is the new way to the top!
Article marketing is taking over from regular SEO and website marketing very rapidly, but most people are going to miss out because they make use of neither online article services, nor the article marketing advice that is available to them. They will spend $97 on ebooks about tag an ping and the inane writings of one rich jerk or another, and miss the bigger picture.
In fact you have no need even for a website if you are having your articles listed on the search engines. You can sell products, and make a lot of money, only by writing articles. That is literal fact and it can be proved. However, this is not the place to do that. What is important is that you don’t get your head turned too much by the traditional SEO sharks offering you a Page #1 position for anything from 100 to 1000 bucks!
What would they do if 11 customers asked for a Page #1 listing for the same keywords: the whole thing is ludicrous. Unless their page is on Page #1, who are they to do it for you if they can’t do it for themselves? Article services sites can do a lot more for you by teaching you modern article marketing techniques that really do work.
Here are the steps to take to get free advertising for your website without doing anything but write. Not one single page on your site need be optimized for any keyword if you use article marketing as an advertising technique, only the articles that you write.
1. Do some keyword research and find the most used keywords for your niche. Also find those that have the least supply - that is those keywords and phrases that are used the least by your competitors.
2. Use both kinds, irrespective of the supply of the first, or the demand of the second, as titles and topics for your articles. Then write an article based on the best keyword you have found.
3. Use the keyword in the title, first 100 characters and also again in the first paragraph (which should be of about 50 - 70 words). Use it in the last paragraph and once again for each 300 words in your article.
4. Provide information in your article, and write so that anybody reading it will want to find out more about what you are writing about. Just as I am doing now. After all, this is going to make you money without you having to pay anything out. It’s free advertising.
5. Provide a link at the end of your article, or in the ‘Author’s Resource Box’ if one is provided, that leads back to a page on your website directly relating to the topic of your article. Mine here will lead you to a page explaining how to write articles, market them properly and make money from them whether you have a website or not.
Most people have no idea what article marketing can do for them, and article services websites can help you to achieve your goals by providing articles for you if you cannot write them effectively yourself.
Article marketing is the new SEO, and websites are rapidly taking second or even third place to article directory pages, Squidoo lenses and MySpace and You Tube listings. Get into the modern world and use article marketing and article services to get your site and products advertised and starting making some real money.
