Description
Directory Submission Service
Website owners need to do a number of things to help their sites to get indexed in search engines such as Google, Yahoo etc. Search engines like to see a lot of links from other sites and those that have those links are more likely to rank well in the search engines and therefore receive a lot more traffic to their sites.
A method of getting those links is to submit their site to directories. As there are over 300 suitable directories this can be a time-consuming activity, especially if they have several sites to submit. This is where you come in with your directory submission service.
You provide a service whereby you submit their websites to these directories for them, and charge a fee. To work out how much you should charge, and how much you can earn, you need to look at successful competing services (check directory submission service in Google).
For a list of directories go to http://info.vilesilencer.com/main.php?rock=seo-friendly.php. There are currently 453 general directories listed there. You could also search Google for many other lists, particularly looking for specialist directories.
For an easier way to submit the website details to the directories you can use Roboform, a free form filler.
To market your directory submission service you could place an ad on a webmaster's forum. There are lots around, examples include DigitalPoint http://forums.digitalpoint.com/, just go to the Buy, Sell or Trade section and also Sitepoint. Others advertise here successfully. Be sure to highlight the fact that you are hand-submitting the websites as this is an advantage.
