Wow, i had no idea these directories were judging your site based on your Google page rank, that’s really lame. I do submit my sites to directories but use software to do it. I think i might drop in on these directories more often and see if my site is listed.. Thanks for the tips!

Frankly, the vast majority of links submitted to free directories are poorly formatted. And there is little incentive for a free directory owner to sit and edit submissions. I think this reason alone accounts for the high rejection rate.

Thanks for these tips. Directories that actually moderate submissions and have some quality standards make better links. I want approved in these types which means submitting correctly.

I think it is only fair to the directories that these questions are asked. it bugs me though that some only allow a particular PR as that means that new sites cannot be added and it is dependent on how often Google updates their PR

If the comments made are not that sensible and the directory is just for the sole purpose of getting back links, I suppose that’s just few of the reasons why I would be deleting such. Moreover, rejecting crappy remarks may be a tedious task but in the end, it would still be beneficial.

Emails used is one great valid point. I myself have experimented using free emails while submitting my domain and it never got accepted in certain directories I have shortlisted earlier. Once my friend suggested that the email you are using to submit must be from the same domain you are submitting and that will increase your acceptance rate. I considered his advice and I saw few of those directories accepting me. Thanks for this reminding people with this tip again.

@James I like the idea of submitting to new directories but how do you find them? I know that the likes of Yahoo/Bing/Google generally have the sites in their index but it’s take some real digging to find them. Any tips on getting hold of the new directories (apart from very targetted search phrases ).

Thanks.

Directory managers will reject your submission outright if your description includes flowery language or marketing phrases. Use third-person language and be as objective as possible. Likewise, avoid keyword stuffing. This will also get your submission rejected immediately.

@Dave: I guess that’s the best strategy. Submitting to new directories only makes sense because there is very high chance of approval.

I think that the best time to get accepted into free directories is when they advertise it either in forums like DP, adsense,etc. At this time the webmaster of the directory is quite interested in receiving submissions to increase his database and hence has usually a higher acceptance rate! Well that’s my 2 cents!
Thanks
