After comparing these ways of increasing traffic and page rank of our webiste site we can find one more important and quicker way of getting good traffic as well as increasing page rank of our website that is Directory Submission.

This increases quality traffic to our webiste. For example: If our website is dealing with online music and our website is listed in the category of Real Estate then noboy will visit our website even though they see our link. On the other hand, If our webiste is listed under the category of Entertainment then there is high chance of visitors to visit our website since the visitor is surfing the Entertainment category and they see our Online Music link which comes under Entertainment. This kind of submission is recommended by most of us.

3. Submitting to High PR Directories: These days many people are not only concentrating in submittitng to directories but also high page rank directories.
