How to Use Free Directory Submission Sites
Free directory submission sites are very easy to use. Before we jump into a detailed instruction, let's have a brief introduction about directories first. Directories compile a list of websites in various categories. These serve as a reference for web users to lookup specific websites based on categories. Like a library of websites, people can directly look up information through the directory itself from the list of websites submitted in the directory.
Directories are also highly reputable with search engines. So aside from being found by web users directly from the directory itself, visitors can also find your website through search engines. This happens when an Internet user looks up information which is related to the topic or theme of your website. In relation to this, it is also important that your website lands the first page of search engines in relation to a keyword or phrase. Submitting your website to directories is one of the methods which help improve website ranking in search engines.

Submission Process
With the basics of directory submission explained, we can now move on the process of submitting your website to directories.
The 5 W's and an H applies as always even in the process of submitting your website to directories.
What information is required by directories? In some cases, the URL or website address will actually do. In most instances however, additional information are required such as the site's description, keywords or tags, and few details about the website owner.
Where can you find directories? The easiest way to find directories is through search engines. You can lookup directories where you can submit your website to in the same manner as you would search for any other information online.
Who can help me with the directory submission process? Aside from manually looking up directories and submitting your website's information on your own, you may also hire a professional directory submission service which already has a list of directories to submit your website to and can complete the whole process for you in exchange for a service free.
When will I see results? In relation to SEO which was mentioned earlier, submitting your website to directories can build a good start in building your website's rank. It is not an overnight process however but you will at least see a progress every day.
Why do I need to submit my site to website directories? The answer was explained earlier during the introduction.
How is the submission process done? In case you decide to manually submit your site on your own, be ready with the URL and any other information which will be asked or verified. Most directories follow a review period which normally takes 24 hours. Your site will be manually reviewed by a staff. Once it is approved for listing, you will be notified through the email you specified during the registration process.
In some directories, automatic reviewing software is used to complete the site review process faster. You may also be offered paid listing for faster approval and the inclusion of other perks. Some of the perks include being featured on prominent sections of the directory and permanent listing with no special code needed. The special code is often required by directories prior to approval. You will need to have them installed in your site's template.
