Directory Submission

Directory submission is an important SEO technique. When your site is completed, your first duty is to submit your site URL to different directory. I will say to submit your site URL to ODP(Open Directory Project). It will take time to accept your site. Be patient, wait and see. Do not re-submit your site to the dmoz. If couple of months has gone and your site hasn’t been added to the open directory, ask help from their (dmoz.org) volunteers. You will be confirmed when your site is added to the directory. Do not submit incomplete site or less resourceful site to dmoz it will reject your site.

There are lots of directories – some are free and some are paid. If you submit your site to a paid directory it will take less time to be added in the directory list. But if you submit your site URL to the free directory it may take several weeks to several months to get listed in the directory. Do not get frightened to see the slow process. It is actually not slow. A lot of URLs are received by the free directory; they have to review it so it takes time to be got listed in the Directory.

Now come to the fact about google directory. If you have submitted your site to the Open Directory Project, you need not to submit your site to google directory. If and only if have not submitted your site to the DMOZ then submit your site to the google directory . Same condition is applicable for google as the ODP. It will also take plenty of time to get listed to the google directory. Google may not add your site after all. I will advise to submit your site to DMOZ first because it is not sure that google directory will take your site to its list.
