Today I contracted the help of my friends in India to assist me with submitting one of my sites to PR4-PR7 directories.
WIll it work?
You never know, if you’re not doing it right, it may actually backfire on you, your website and your keyword rankings.
It’s been a while since I’ve done this, but in the past I’ve seen a site go from 0 links in to 200 links in within months. As for the term, there are over 5K+ listings in Google now.
So did it work?
Absolutely.
Quick list of ways to promote your site:
- Directory submission - questionable in some cases, but still works
- Article submission - excellent for boosting keyword rankings
- Social bookmarking submission - too early to say on what results may be, but highly popular.
- Forum posting - good if they have not redirects
- Blog posting - a lot of no-follows, but still works with some engines
- Manual link exchange requests - too time consuming, no guarantee on results.
As is the case, you will not see results right away … patience is the key.
Eventually you will get there.
