Which one is better - Paid or Free Directories?
When you have to choose between free or paid directories, then free directories are always preferable. Why?? Because many search engines, most notably Google, don’t encourage the practice of a paid link. Now, paid directory submission, is more or else, a paid link generation, which might get your site penalized by the search engines!

Choosing between General or Niche directories?
Actually the combination of both the general and niche directories are feasible when you submit your site. There is innumerable variety of niche directories available online. Simply look for these in the major search engines like Google, Yahoo and MSN. You will easily get some best directories on the first few pages.
For general directories, it is always advisable to use the more popular and the older directories.
We will submit your site to a quality general directories first (PageRank 4+) & then to niche directories.
Page Rank
Page Rank in directories is the question of hour. Directories need some amount of page rank so that they can get indexed by the search engines. Recently, Google made the announcement that individuals should now look for quality directories rather than their page ranks. The directories should offer more value to the customers.
If the directory which you are submitting to is ranking on the first few pages of the search engines, then it is sure to have good page rank. You can even check your links through many link popularity checkers.
We offer various packages based on the PageRank of the directories. Please click here to view the packages.
Anchor text
The targeted key phrase should always be present in your link. But this is always not possible because many directories do not allow this. However, this can be done by inserting your targeted key phrase after your company name.
Its always advisable to follow all the rules and regulations before submitting in any of the directories. Some directories also allow to search the key phrase on its own, but some other directories follow quite strict guidelines and use only your business or website name.
Doing your homework comes in handy - if you try to use a search phrase on its own and they change it to your business/website name then it’s very unlikely you’ll be able to get them to change it to your website name with a search phrase at the end. If you’d submitted it like that in the first place you may have got away with it.
Targeted key phrases should always be used but anchor text should always be changed, as this is most likely to be accepted by the search engines.
We encourage you to use Up To 5 different Anchor Texts, which would maximize your SEO benefit from the submission activity.
Varying your description
Most of the directories have the facility to provide you your business page. Use a different description for all the directories that you submit your site to. Search engine will devalue you links if the same description is used in all the directories.
Always write a unique and significant description for all the directories. The description should be written be in such a way that it directly portrays your company and its products and services.
We encourage you to use Up To 5 different Descriptions, which would maximize your SEO benefit from the submission activity.
Deep Linking
Most of the directories are now allowing you to submit your website’s internal pages to them. You just need to bring in variation in the key phrases which you will be targeting for each page. Same anchor text or key phrases should not be used again and again because this can lead to penalization of your site by search engines.
