There are several different types of website directories that you can submit your website to. However, you are most likely going to want to look at two of these types. One is a general website directory. This is a huge listing of websites separated into categories. Depending on how detailed the site is it may be highly specific in the category types or it could be general category types but the website directory would have many different categories. A specific website directory is one dedicated to a particular category. It would then be further broken down into sub categories.
The benefits of having your website listed in a website directory are increased traffic, and exposure. Many people often use website directories when looking for specific information or when looking for other subject related websites to do link sharing with.
Link sharing is one form of web site promotion. Because your website is evaluated and placed in a particular category, it usually means that your website is related or has related materials, which makes finding sites for link sharing easier. This is one of the primary benefits of website directory submission. In addition, some website directories actually rank the sites on their lists by placing them in top positions. This can help increase your page ranking. This means that your website is one of the first sites to be seen within its category.
There are a number of benefits to website directory submission when it comes to the promotion of your website. It is important to check out the types of sites a website directory has before submitting your site to them to make sure they are someone you want to be affiliated with.
