And if so, do you know of a nice village in need of one?
I had read an Active Rain blog last week regarding SEO, the title and author of which I unfortunately cannot remember. The post asked some questions about submitting the link of one's Web site to directories in an effort to boost one's site ranking.
While reading through the comments, someone suggested utilizing www.resellergo.com for faster submission to directories. I went to the site, and found it to be quite interesting. After a short sign-up, I found that, for free, the site facilitates the submission of your Web site along with a brief description to 150 directories. (The site does a nice job to help to automate the process by choosing the directories and populating a
category of your choice [real estate, etc.], but the user still has to at least click a button and at most enter one of those unreadable, garbled codes.) Nonetheless, I was happy with the level of automation, and began to use the site. The submissions, however, soon became like digital crack for me. I simply had to have more. So, for $4, I signed up for the "Silver Package," which permitted me to submit my site in the above manner to an unlimited number of directories - right now the site lists 3069 directories. I have since proceeded to submit my site to an additional 150 directories.
That, however, still was not enough to curb my desire for more submissions. So, I somewhat impulsively paid $55 for 140 "Guaranteed Listings." I know have some questions: Do I need to start attending meetings, or is $59 for 140 "Guaranteed Listings" and an additional 300-plus listings worth the money?
Is there such a thing as a Guaranteed Listing?
Is all of this worth the time (which I do not mind spending) in that it will help eventually with my sites SEO?
Finally, can anyone give me an indication of how long it takes for these sites to be crawled and resultantly show my link? (When I check to see how many links there are to my site, none of these show up.)
As always, I sincerely appreciate any assistance that those more knowledgeable than I can provide. I hope someday to be able to return the favor.
