Types of Directory Submissions in SEO

Types of Directory Submission

 

There are mainly three types of directory submission sites, but some webmasters define them in the form of doing submission like manual directory submission, automation directory submission and niche directory submission, etc..
Primary type of Directory Submission
1). Paid or Featured Listing
2). Free or Regular Listing
3). Regular Link with Reciprocal

Paid or Featured Listing:

If you opt for paid listing, you need to pay to directory submission sites owner. The amount is depending on the directory submission sites. When you opt for paid listing, you get guaranteed approval of your directory since you have paid for them.

Free or Regular Listing:

If you opt for a free directory listing, there is no guaranty for approval. And webmaster of directory submission site checks your directory submission info manually if he found everything is good, he approves since every day lots of sites are submitted, so it takes lots of time to get approval. Sometimes more than months. To increase chances for approval first read guidelines of directory submission sites since every directory submission has different guidelines. Some directories offer links permanent for free listing while some for a particular period.

Regular Link with Reciprocal:

If you opt for Regular link with reciprocal, you need to give backlink them. It means they provide you a code and you need to paste that code into your website’s page to validate reciprocal link.
I suggest you to go with free or regular listing since Google hate paid links.
