Hi,

In the past 1 I have submitted my site to over 800 directories, yet when I check my backlinks in Google I do not see them listed.

Any suggestions? Any services that submit for you to save time? Should I use those?

The other problem that I have experienced is that I can submit to 300 free directories and only will hear back form 10 of them. The other 290 don’t do anything. They don’t reply one way or another.

You need to check alexa.com for your site's stats and monitor google.com/analytics for the exact sites that are linking to yours.

I think most directories are a complete waste of time.

Obviously DMOZ, Yahoo and some of the more established older directories carry weight. However, most of the free directories are completely useless (my opinion). Everybody and his grand mother has a directory. Do you ever visit them to do a search? (I have one FindInfo.ws). Submit your stuff if you want. Will you ever return? There has to be a compelling reason.

I get so many page views in one day that I should be rich in adsense with my FindInfo.ws directory. Unfortunately, it makes near zero revenue. Why? Because directories are a penny a dozen. There are millions out there.

Get yourself noticed on the more prestigious blogs and forums. Write some articles and post them on good reputable sources (not the spammer ezines). Build traffic from trusted sites.

most directories will use <no follow> or instead to pointing to your site, they are using internal links.
either way, google will ignore links in these directories

its not necessary every directory owner approves ur sites submitted ... and also if approved it takes time to count it as a backlink to your website.

@USGreenLiving: Wait for Google to update your site...

@Nightfighter: some other directories just ignore your listing and some activates your website to their directories for a longer time and some web directories accepts your submission but does not confirm you that they already accepted it.

First of all, many directories as "dead", meaning the owners approved first 1,000 links and got tired approving the others. So, your site is still sitting in the queue waiting like the other 10,000 sites to be approved.
Second, google doesn't index all of the pages in the directories. Out of 20-30 directories you may get one backlink within a few months.
Third, there are services. The link above mentioned by someone has another good directory list like addurl.nu or you can use free semi-automated directory submission site - http://www.easysubmits.com which makes it faster and less annoying to submit to free directorioes.

Good luck.

Hey,
Directories usually take a time frame of 3days to 90 days to have the site approved. Also as "tatrasim" said most of them are dead directories or have a huge backlog of links that needs to be approved. As far as I have seen the approval rate for directories is around 35%-40%. it can vary also.

However I would suggest you don't rely only on directory submissions, but go for other link building methods such as social bookmarking, blog posting, article submissions, forum postings etc.

Now coming to your question of services that save time. In fact there are many submission services that offer the above mentioned at a nominal price. As a matter of fact, I had recently availed the services of Directory Maximizer, a directory submission service and have been quite happy with their work. I suggest if you looking for more directory submissions, you use them.

I would also want to emphasize on the fact that you concentrate on the on-page optimization, as in the content, layout, titles etc so that it would be a leverage (apart from the other SEO methods) to attract traffic.
