Social Bookmarking and Directory Submission

[priyakochin]

Here I am going to share my own experience about this two link building methods.

I used to do directory submission and social bookmarking for my sites as well as for my clients for years.From my experience I found that they are really useful and the fastest method for getting backlinks from search engines.They can also help in getting good SERP for less competitive keywords.

The main thing that you should consider before doing a link building is that, your OnPage factors should be fine.

I think directory submission do not help much these days. I have done directory submission for one of my sites, one year ago. I submitted to more than 1000 directories. But in Google Webmaster tools, I only see 10 or so backlinks coming from those directories.

So now, I only submit to high PR directories only.

Site structure

With some directories I've noticed that they have very few pages actually cached at the big G. I don't really care about the PR its more important that the pages actually get indexed. Now in theory a high PR site would get indexed more often but even some low PR directories have lots of indexed pages.

Directory submission takes time for approval.So you need to wait.

social bookmarking is one of the fastest methods of getting backlinks and maybe some traffic, but for directory submission, it doesn't apply. directory submissions can take months for the backlinks to show as google needs to crawl the internal pages which can be 3 or more clicks away from the home page

If the main aim to get traffic is through directory submissions.Think beforehand that it would take months to be approved or worse, wouldn't be approved at all. The faster way is thru social bookmarking and link exchanges with relevant sites.

:bingo: also the metas should agree.

Just wondering where you came up with this? Can you provide some links to back this up?

 

[Dirky47]

Thanks,
i have submitted my sites in 100s of directory sites and social bookmarking sites but till now i didn't get single a backlink from these sites.

 

[bluearrow]

which do you think the best way to get backlinks ? Social Bookmarking or Directory Submission ? Social bookmarking sites use no follow tag most of the time So is it worth doing it except for direct traffic ?

 

[axedbydax]

for me blog posting, forum posting and article submission is the best.

With the invention of software, directory submission lost the charm. But even now if you submit your website through the manual submission to good directories than you will be able to see the results.

My favourite way to build backlinks is Forum postings and blog comments.
