Hello,

I was born and raised in Antwerp, Belgium, and now living in Phuket, Thailand.

I'm the manager of a SEO-company that exist of western SEO-experts, and a team of well trained Thai submitters.
That's how we can offer you high Western quality at low Eastern prices.

Directories are libraries of websites classified according to topic.  They allow people searching for information to browse the categories looking for websites that interest them.

This in itself can get you visitors, but what we are interested in is the link to your website from the directories.

Directory submissions are very popular and should be the first thing to do when you start a link-building campaign … even Google says so:
Google recommends directory submissions !!

Google can easily determine which directories take it serious and actually review the submitted sites and only allow quality sites in their directory; so to Google those directory reviewer serve as a huge team of human web site reviewers. That’s why those links will improve your rankings in the SERP’s (search engine result pages) significant for the words that have been used in the titles (anchor text).

There’s more to it; also the way the submission are handled is important, that’s we’re we come in.

Not every directory submission service will give you the same results.
Here’s how we make the difference;

1) The list of directories we use;

To compile our list of 2.000 directories, we’ve intensely reviewed and checked (and double checked, and triple checked) more than 10.000 directories.

We only use SEO-friendly directories; each of them will give you a direct, one-way link; no redirects, no rel=nofollow, no networks etc.

Almost none of the other service have actually researched the directories; for example; I keep seeing in the lists of other services, directories like this one; http://www.lii.org. It’s a PR7 directory, that might seem impressive, but it’s for LIBRARIES; big buildings full with books! In other words; sure they have submitted your site, but no way that you’ll ever get a link from them.

Also the PR of those directories counts; we can submit to more then 1.000 directories ALL of them with minimum PR3.

2) We review the information you provide for the submissions;

The email you use; it’s very important you use an email from the site itself, for sure no free email addresses, like Gmail or hotmail etc. this itself can already give 25% to 35% difference in your approval ratio.

Many other submission services will actually use their own Gmail or hotmail account; that’s really asking for rejections.

Company name; many directories will ask for additional information, while they almost never actually publish this information on their site, they do this to check how genuine the submission is.

Check the order forms of other services; they don’t even ask for your company name, so then what will they fill in? yes, the title … bang -> rejected …

Titles; well, we normally never touch these as those titles are in fact your anchor texts and contain your keywords, but we do small edits; using capital letters for each word;

The descriptions; this is a very important factor; the directories want a informative description of the site, not an advertisement of your services/products. We’re used to all the different rules and requirements of the directories, so we’ll write the descriptions for you. This will improve your approval ratio significant.

None, absolutely none of the other submission services have the commitment it takes to do this for you.

3) Deep-links; links pointing to your sub-pages (any page other than the homepage).

For this we had to do additional research; we checked the amount of deep-links already published online and then check their submissions rules; many allow only deep-links for featured links.

Amazingly; about half of the directories allow in fact deep-links. Still, it has to be for a worthy page of course, for a product page or so, it’s very hard to get a decent approval ratio.

To have links to your sub-pages is very important as it will improve the link profile of your entire site significant.

It will as well improve the rankings of those sub-pages as the homepage; many people tend to forget that your own links count just as well. The more value your sub-pages have, the more value they also pass on to the homepage.

4) Costumer Service; you can contact us any time with any question, we’ll answer you a.s.a.p. with all the information you need.

Thanks to our dedication and expertise, most sites get an approval ratio between 60% and 80%, which is a lot more than any other submissions service.

You can read our online testimonials to see what other people think about our services.

You can order online - this link goes straight to the online form; Submit Your Site's Information

Fill in the info, submit it, and on the next page you can choose one of our many packages, confirm with the payment and you're done !! We'll review your info, add/edit it if needed and send it back so you can confirm it, before we actually start submitting.


Our service will save you a lot of time and show results fast !! Promised !!

Hello LinkPopularity ;

Nice SEO service you offer. Can your service help improve PR? and if it can, why is your PR 2? sorry if i sound sarcastic but i'll expect a service provider like yours to soar high in PR.

Please correct me if i'm wrong.

Aloha geek4ever,
I cant speak for Michiel (LinkPopularity) but I am simply amazed that people continue to place so much emphasis on a value in a toolbar value. Can you tell me why that should be important?

Submissions today can help with indexing lower level pages and shaping relevance, but to the best of my knowledge I have never asked Michiel about toolbar PR. I think that when you are considering submissions you need to make sure you are able to effectively communicate your goal or goals, and the submitter needs to be able to respond to those needs. The potential for indexing and relevance need to outweigh toolbar pr.

Its my personal opinion that external links have been devalued anyway, though they are still factored into our content creation programs. I focus on architectural strength which I believe is a stronger ranking factor. I have been testing with a newer site and so far it ranks quite well for the desired terms. I don’t know if it has any toolbar pr, but considering its new, it probably don’t.

Hi waveshoppe ;

As a directory owner myself, i'wd feel much more comfortable dealing with a SEO service with good PR itself. High PR does'nt necessarily translate to high CTR but it sure guarantees confidence on the client level.

You're right that submissions today can help with indexing lower level pages and shaping relevance, but i won't pay to get listed in a directory with low PR, would you?

Like I have said many times before, I don’t ever have the green bar turned on so I cant answer that. But I will say that I would not shy away from a page that has not yet been indexed, it’s the potential to get indexed and remain indexed, as well as how well relevance is maintained within the directory category.

Also if your engaging in buying links/placement to reach qualified customers, TBPR shouldn’t be a factor at all. No offence but I can only think of a small handful of paid directories that actually deliver qualified customers, the rest appear to simply focus on AdSense revenues and selling TBPR to the unknowledgeable, but some do indeed offer spider traffic.

I agree that I probably beat a different drum than others... but I test a lot of things and what I post is my honest take on things. Michiel is in a way different time zone, but lets ask him what his customers primary concerns are, I would be interested in hearing his response.

I guess we all have a right to our opinions and i truely respect yours, waveshoppe.
Just as you said, i'll really be interested in knowing what LinkPopularity's customers concerns are.

thanks Charles for standing up for me

geek4ever,

I understand your reaction, we check for the PR of the directories as well, but then again, we're still in a different business, we provide a service, we're not trading any kind of link value from our site itself.

but to explain it; well, I get most of my clients from forums and /or referrals, and that's enough for me to get a lot of orders, especially because we get most of our orders from SEO-companies;
they all tell me more or less the same story;
they used to order from some cheap Indian company, and they always though that the service was totally crap, but couldn't care, because it was so cheap, then somebody tells them about us; ok, a bit more expensive, but so much better; and really professional; so, they keep ordering in big numbers and tell their colleagues ...

in case you w2onder; we're a team of 12 people ... it's not just me

The fact that I have at least PR2 is because I'm aware that some people might check for that as a reference, so I did some effort to get some PR, but as you know just as well as I do; PR doesn't matter that much

in other words; I only have PR2 (showing) because I don't need to rank to be successful.

it might sound as if I'm talking against my own shop, well yes ... there's still 1 marketing technique none other can beat ... mouth by mouth advertisement
and although I don't have much PR, I do have a lot of mouth by mouth advertisement

the concern of my clients; well, it depends of course, but yes, most of them are much more concerned about getting their pages indexed, than anything else, for sure they're not concerned about my PR ... hihi

by the way, check who's sponsoring me in my signature; enough PR there?

I am looking for Deep Links submission.
DO you provide that.
if so I am interested.

Thanks

Yes, we do deep-link submissions.

we've checked all the directories and when we found directories with multiple deep-links all over their site, we checked again; some offer 3 extra deep-links if you take a featured listing, iof that not the case, we mark them as deep-link directories.

We offer a special package:
250 homepage +5x50 deeplink submissions.
you can also make your own package, but on that one we give a nice discount.

for each page you can give 5 different titles and as always; we write the descriptions for you.

you can order here:
