This is my second week in doing SEO or Search Engine Optimization and for the benefit of the dummies like me out there Search Engine Optimization is the process of improving the volume of traffic (or visits) to a website from search engines like Yahoo, Google via natural search results. On my personal experience my daily unique visits quadrupled when I tried to optimize my personal site and I assure you, you’ll be amaze by the dramatic growth of your hits!

Aside from keeping your site interesting with visitors coming back everyday checking what you have to offer, link building is the most effective trick to improve your site’s popularity. The same thing goes to ‘better rankings’ in search engines like Yahoo, Google, etcetera. One way of doing this is submitting your site to web directories or link directories. These directories lists websites and categorize it according to the content in categories and sub-categories.

The process of submission is quite simple and easy. First find the proper category that your site would fit it, then Suggest URL, Add URL or Submit your site links on these pages, fill out the necessary forms need (it’s tedious but you have to do it!) and patiently wait for inclusion (they usually sends out the mail within a day, week or months – but be patient and don’t resubmit your site at once!) The appearance of your website will depend entirely on the directory. Some may take days, some months like DMOZ and Yahoo!.

There are a lot of web directories out there, some are free while others are paid. I submitted my website to a reliable free web directory like Max directory a month ago and see what it did to my daily traffic. As I have said it has grown dramatically since last month.

With link building, you can easily improve your site’s Google Page Rank Value (mine has grown from PR0 to PR2 in less than two months!), Link Popularity, Positions on SERP and more Traffic.
