Link building with directories is a simple way to increase the number of links you have pointing to your site. If you own a blog or web site, you need to build links to increase the number of links pointing to your site, which in turn helps boost your rankings in search engines, which in turn will help boost your traffic. It all starts with a link on another site that points to your site, and doing just one is a nice start, but it doesn’t begin to scratch the surface of the real number of links you need to create to start seeing an increase in traffic.
Thankfully there are plenty of sites that will help you by submitting your site information to an untold number of directories.
One site I’ve found to help me build links is DirectoryMaximizer.com. I used it to help spread links for LinkListings.net, and it contributed to the site reaching a PR3 within the first 3 months of the sites launch. Of course, many other people placed a link to LinkListings.net on their site, so I can’t say that I didn’t have any help from readers like you, because I did.
I wouldn’t be telling you this if I didn’t believe in what DirectoryMaximizer.com can do for your site. I’ve seen the benefit, and the cost is cheap, so why wouldn’t you want to use this? I have no idea.
What Does DirectoryMaximizer.com Do?
DirectoryMaximizer.com will submit your site information to any number of directories you choose. Directories are all over the Internet and are used to categorize a web site and provide a link to that web site. Placing a link into 100 directories should take you about a week to do, if that is all you did for that week.
DirectoryMaximizer makes the submission process easy so you can get your link into as many directories as you want, without doing more than you would for a single directory.
How Does DirectoryMaximizer.com Help Me?
- Get permanent one-way links on over 1000 directories.
- DirectoryMaximizer will remember the sites you have already submitted to. so if you don’t want to do all 1000+ directories, you can do 100, and come back for more later. They won’t submit to a directory you already submitted to.
- The rate of submission can be configured to have the entire workload done within a week, or spread out over 5 weeks. Sometimes this is a good approach since search engines will see a natural growth of your links instead of *blam* a whole mess of links suddenly appearing.
- You can create up to 20 site definitions to change up the keywords per submission. So directory A doesn’t have the same title and description as directory B.
- You can choose to submit to directories by PR value, so if you need PR5 directories, you can submit to them.
- They can manage more than one site for you. If you have multiple web sites, you’ll enjoy this feature.
How Much Does It Cost?
- $0.14 cents per submission, so:
- $14 to submit to 100 directories. (My favorite)
- $140 to submit to 1,000 directories.

Jeremy, the category selection is free-form entry. You can specify as many as you want, but they will decide per directory the closest match.
So far, I have no complaints with the categories they have chosen compared to what I have advised.
$0.14 per submission is pretty reasonable. Just think of how much time that would take to do yourself. I use a different directory submission service, but I should look into this one as well. Wayne do you know how many categories you can specify? The problem with my current guys is that they can’t seem to consistently choose a suitable category.
hahahaha Heff! Ya bastard, how ya doing these days?
Still raising hell and washing it down with beer?
COST ?!? Oh, HAIL NO !!!
I haven’t written anything about PageRank at all, mostly because I’m still trying to understand it myself. In fact, I don’t think anyone knows how Google determines PageRank…it’s a secret sauce of algorithms that Google uses to determine a value for your site (or a page, you’ll notice different PR’s for a page vs. the root of the site).
Perhaps I should try my hand at explaining it a bit.
Do you have anything on what PR4 is?
Hey, I think you’re right! I see a PR4 on here now, sweet!
Hi wayne… do you know if Google just did ranking updates? I’m seeing new ranks for site – including this blog which was PR3 and is now showing PR4 congrats on that!
