Link Directories

Traditional link directories are websites that consist of categories that are broken down into subcategories. In each category you will find a list of websites that relate to that specific category. Link directories are a great method of getting traffic to your website and also aids in helping your website pages get indexed faster.

There are free link directories and paid link directories. Generally speaking free link directories will not do you much good in terms of traffic. It may help get your website pages crawled a little bit faster but even that might be a stretch. Free link directories usually have thousands and thousands of very low quality websites listed in them therefore the search engines don't give the directory much weight.

Paid link directories on the other hand offer the submitter more benefits. Paid link directories usually get a lot more traffic and are given more weight by search engines. The quality of the listings inside of a paid link directory in most cases are much higher than those of a free link directory. This means the search engines don't consider it a junk resource.

There is also a new breed of link directories and DM Web Directory is actually the very first of it's kind. This new breed is called a Video Review Directory instead of the traditional link directory. With a video review directory your entire submission is recorded on video along with a brief overview of your website. You will also receive a listing in the link directory. The benefits of a Video Review Directory far out weight the traditional link directory on many levels.

The video can be used as a viral tool if the website owner thinks outside the box. The video also allows the users submission to become indexed much faster and enables a deeper craw on the submitters website.
