Article directories at one time were the favorites to link keywords and get promoted on Google for the keyword and also get a buzz around the web. But since the very updates in the Google search policy – article directories have been on back foot.

It is not just the structure of the article directories that Google don’t like – but also the content that is submitted are just for the sake of promotion and no real information is passed on to it.

Therefore, attempt with search engine friendly and Google liked stuff – WordPress.

WordPress Article Directory
You can use a wordpress plugin “Article Directory” for creating a structure just as article directory and this will easily gel with your wordpress theme to make it a unique structure.

This does not mean that you should still allow users to submit the information, which is not quite informative. But since it is wordpress – Google likes it and it will have a step forward advantage over article directories.

Since, wordpress is promoted on various places automatically and free – you will not have to promote it specifically. With wordpress you can have automatic ping service.

Not only this, there are many search engine friendly and marketing plugins which can make your task even easier.

Therefore, when thinking of making an article directory – choose the wordpress way in order to get the healthy search engine experience.

Article marketing is just another way to promote your product or services; article marketing makes sense and will be making sense in the search engine optimization for a long term.

The reason that article marketing is so popular is because of the wide perspective it covers. This is the obvious reason that search engines like it.

As, you cannot spam the article marketing method, it uses content which you can’t duplicate – and if you do duplicate article marketing – it simply gets ignored by the search engines and all of your efforts wasted.

Article marketing uses content and keywords to get raise in the search engine ranking. Also, article marketing helps raising your Page rank. Though page rank is not necessary these days as google has itself erased the importance of PR.

With article marketing, you can very easily do the affiliate marketing. Even if you don’t have a website.

If you want to raise your backlink keyword count article marketing is the most effective method to be done in terms of search engine optimization. Not only article marketing is done on the article directories but also you can submit your articles to the blog sites and other revenue sharing sites.

The only thing you need to take care in article marketing is that the directory or site you are submitting your article is enabled for RSS.

Every now and then people talk about article directories and submission to it – makes your content optimize or people do submit articles to directories in order to get a raise in search engine listing.

But have you thought why article directories are used for this purpose, and what are the things that make them count for search engine ranking, and what actually works behind the scene in order to get your website up in the search engine results.

What Works
If you have submitted any of your articles in to article directories you must have watched the following and if you have not yet submitted then going through the points below will allow you to understand things:

1. 1. You have to submit unique contents to article directory; in other words complete copyscape passed content. If there are some directories that accept duplicate content then they are not worthy.
2. You can submit your links pertaining to your website.
3. Also, you can have your keywords highlighted in article directories.
4. These are easily and quickly crawled by search engines – and search engine likes them because of the reason they are having unique content.
5. They don’t have any hyperlink tagging system as follow or nofollow.
6. Article directories always have feed/RSS enabled.

These are the core reasons that make an article directory attractive enough and you can easily submit to directories, which follow these guidelines – as you will have your keywords optimized.

I will try to summarize in the coming up blog posts – implications involved with article directories to raise your search engine ranking.

Finding it difficult to get one-way links with your anchor text? Well here is an easy way to generate some serious high PR backlinks to your site, with your anchor text.

How to Extract
Bidding Directories! To the uninitiated a Bidding Directory is a paid web directory where the more you pay the more prominent your link will appear on the directory. As you are probably aware the closer to the top of the page your link is the more “link juice” is given to your site.

Bidding Directories
So why use a bidding directory? Well there are several reasons why a bidding directory can become an excellent part of your SEO and marketing plans.

1. High PR and low outgoing links
2. Use your own anchor text
3. Link is surrounded by a description of your site, which adds to relevancy
4. Top bidders receive excellent traffic
5. Help brand your site and create greater awareness
6. Simple to set up and generally your link is live immediately
7. Some bidding directories allow for deep links so you can get up to 5 links pointing at various pages on your site.

Tips For Bidding
When looking for a bidding directory to add your links to it there are a few handy tips that can help you out.

1. Look for high PR directories where you can get your link on the front page.
2. When bidding make sure you bid to be at least on front page or very near to the top. If you cant afford to bid the amount necessary to reach those positions, save your money and look for a smaller bidding directory where you can reach the top.
3. Use deep links whenever possible
4. In your description sell your site. You want people to click on your link so a boring, generic description of your site won’t do at all.

Conclude
Therefore, when you are trying to improve your sites rankings in search engine and also looking for PR make sure you get some high quality links from bidding directories to really boost your efforts.

It was time when people like to link from directories because the time was good for Google PR as it helped in increasing the ranking of a site if the site is linked from the high PR link directories. Then the time came when Google slashed the directories with zero PR and all were just running away from directories. But then again Google started reviving the PRs for the directories.

Now as most of the directories have started regaining their PR so is it worthwhile to put your link to high rank PR directories. I would say it can be but not sure about Google because some sites rank well and others not.

What’s the Point?
Since I am just talking about directories and ranking the more important is not just ranking through directories, but some of the link directories or deep link directories give enormous amount of traffic, which can be used for anything in a particular site.

Lets say you put your link in Infogle Link Directory, its deep link directory. Since, my directory is not having any PR this does not mean that this will not benefit you. It will because the directory is receiving very good amount of uniques per day. Moreover, if you look at the total link submitted till this day you will come to know the amount of traffic the section is receiving. Total link submitted and approved till now is over 18000.

So, the point I am trying to make it here is about traffic that you receive from link directories. This is far more better than ranking for PR. As ultimately traffic help your sales and sites in revenue. PR will not help in raising your financial site position.

What to Conclude
The simple conclusion to the above would be that since most webmasters feel that directories are out of the business and they have their interest shifted, but this is just one side the other side of the coin reveals that directories are gaining back the popularity and persistency as they tend to deliver the traffic which might be needed for any website.

I would suggest to people who are making their websites/blogs, when it’s done and up on Internet. The first thing they must do is to have their website/blog submitted to as much directories as possible. You can subscribe to any manual directory submission service. This will create buzz for your website/blog and hopefully you will gain some PR value also.

We all know directory submission and its use that how it is being used to optimized the site performance. I was looking for the need to give the best of the services to my users. Therefore, the packages of the directory submission have been almost slashed.

I was too much excited today as I was waiting for this day to arrive this week, and finally it happened. I crossed over 10,000 links in my deep linking directory and still counting.

Happens in Business
All ups and downs with my directory business but the truth is I am here and made a good income though with this. First I made a simple directory in 2006 because I think that time deep linking directory was not available, when I looked at deep linking directory structure in 2007 I was more eager to start with it.

But my old link directory had almost 7000+ unfortunately I had to drop that and start with this deep linking directory with Zero-links present. But this was not the biggest concern for me. As I had the traffic, which was aware of, the URL and I just drive that traffic to the new location.

My Directory
Deep linking increased the income. This is pretty much true that as soon as I implemented deep linking structure my directory income rise. With previous simple link directory I was just making between $5-$10 per month and by till now with deep linking directory I am making $50+ per month.

This $50 is been further split in to three categories. First income with sponsors, second with PPC implemented, and third directory submission. This is not much but compared to the time and efforts I have made this is good.

My suggestion for all the directory owners and starters is do give every option for the directory submitters to submit their links as they want to and if they feel that they will be benefited with submitting as featured listing they will.

For the moment I am thinking of some unexplored monetizing methods for my directory. I will keep you all updated of my new monetizing method soon.

Outsourcing your seo work has been general now, every Webmaster or a blogger now days outsource their seo work to seo companies. It’s not always that the webmasters don’t know about the seo and that’s why they outsource. Probably of some busy schedules tends to outsource them.

This is the reason that many new seo companies have evolved, but as in all businesses some seo companies are reliable and others are here to make quick cash out.

This is not though that complete seo sector is booming its some areas of seo’s that are really booming and you could see many small-medium-large companies evolving in this area.

Directory Submission
I am talking about the directory submission, as this is the low cost seo technique, which could probably bring instant traffic to your websites. Now the point of concern is lot more people are actually doing these kinds of directory submissions, and the same percentage is for the people who are getting it done.

Now here comes the point you need to watch when you are outsourcing your directory submission work. As I said lot more people are doing this work and that’s why due to increasing competition, many directory submission companies actually promise you some out of the way techniques and at the end your website has to suffer a lot.

Behind the Scenes
Here is it, what’s happening in directory submissions, companies promise that they will provide you so-and-so number of featured listing if you take on this package or that, so to full fill many such companies are actually making a false submission.

False submission in the sense that they are not actually paying directories to get featured listing they are just placing a featured link and not paying for it. And at the end what happens the listing, which are featured and not paid, are actually deleted and some are also banned. Ultimately your website has to suffer, as some directory submission companies don’t give the correct data of submission.

Knowing a Fact
How I am commenting on this and how do I know? As I also have a link directory and nearly 10k links already submitted. I also have the same problem every day while approving the links many featured links are posted and previously I was deleting them and when I saw next day same links submitted again, therefore I started to ban some IPs and domains from the directory.

So, if you are outsourcing you directory submission work to someone keep in mind to get the complete approval list and remember to crosscheck the list. As only this way you can protect your website.

Some time back not much the hottest niche was a directory and every one was making directories – web directories. The cool thing was google was also crawling all the directories and structures it in its search queries. But later make out that what was been done there was no content nothing in the directories so that will interests people to visit the directory.

Resulting, massive de-listing of the web directories as they were having nothing in it and were de-listed because of the pattern they used they were actually selling the higher posts or which we all call as featured posts. So indeed Google hated this and de-listed all the web directories and de-graded the PR’s.

As you know every thing in this world has some negative and positive sides, so looking in that concern, web directories also have a positive side if they could be designed in such a way that they actually doing a listing work and not only just making the money itself by selling the feature listing.

Web directories still could be attractive for making money if they are promoted in the way that is Google friendly and also user friendly.

How you can have this:
Firstly, when someone makes the directory he sells the links of the featured listing. Not good. We now have very much extended versions of the directory from previous, which would just looked like amateur directories.

If you want to promote directories in a professional way and actually earn from them without giving any pain to Google. So here is a simple way, which you can help in making a web directory business as successful as it was previously.

Just make directories, as many versions of directories are currently there you can choose any which suits you best. Now just disable the feature listing functionality. You will not be selling any links. Just make yourself clear that selling links is not hot now.

Allow simple submitting and reciprocal submitting of the web-links these two should be enabled. Now its up to you that you choose a deep linking directory or just a simple linking directory. My vote is for deep linking directory as this gives much diversity to the user who is submitting his links.

As you have completed with all the above. Now you can start writing article or a blog about this in the same website so that every time the blog has been updated search engine is more curious and technorati also at the same time.

Now point of concern is where does the income come from and you will get actually payment from the clients and not from just sticking ads of affiliate programs. Yes! You can. How? Is explained now.

You will not be selling featured listings but you can sell the advertisements on the particular section and have a banner style or something similar to this. Let me explain this more, as user submits link to the directory and after the submission page is submitted they will get a message that if they want to place a “featured advertisement” in the category they have submitted the link please fill the form here.

And you can develop a alternative code or you can do it manually you will be actually selling ads in place of featured listing for the category as you were doing previously, but this way it will be more Google friendly and your directory will be famous soon.

Just three steps to remember:

• Make your directory.
• Disable featured listing. You can have deep linking or simple but yes just enable reciprocal.
• Ask users for the banners or the ads when they completed the normal submission to your directory.

This way they are also listed in the directory as others but at the same time they are getting the feature position in the category. This could be nicest and best possible way to promote your directory and earn for a long time.
