Website Directory Listings

What are Website Directory Listings?

A web directory is not a search engine and does not display lists of web pages based on keywords; instead, it lists web sites by category and subcategory. The categorization is usually based on the whole web site rather than one page or a set of keywords, and sites are often limited to inclusion in only a few categories. Web directories often allow site owners to directly submit their site for inclusion, and have editors review submissions for fitness.

A good start to having your website known is to list it in the common directories such as DMOZ, Yahoo, and Google.

DMOZ

Google

There are a lot of different directories but these are the top three. Each of the directories have different steps. So read each one carefully to ensure your website is listed.

You can also pay a company to submit your website to several different directories which may also increase traffic and your website ranking.
