2. In this article I show you how to select the best category when submitting to a
web directory, to give your site every chance of achieving top rankings for the
keywords you want to target.
Selecting the right category when submitting to a web directory can mean the
difference between achieving top rankings and being lost in oblivion.
Don't think that by paying for your submission, it guarantees top rankings. It
doesn't! The only guarantee you will get is for a review within a certain time limit.
If you don't select the right category, you might as well just be throwing your
money out the window.
Here's how you should find the best category to submit to, in order to give your
site every chance of achieving top rankings for the keywords you want to target.
Go to the web directory's home page and enter in the exact keyword phrase
you're targeting in the search box.
Let's use the Yahoo! directory as an example. A search for, "cheap Web hosting"
returns this page of results:
http://search.yahoo.com/bin/search?p=cheap+web+hosting
Take a look at the category link directly underneath the #1 listing, where it says:
"More sites about: Web Site Hosting > Directories"
The majority of the top listings are placed under this category. This tells you that
Yahoo! considers this particular category as the most relevant for the keyword
phrase we searched for.
Click on the "Web Site Hosting > Directories" category link. This will take you to
the sub-category in the Yahoo! directory.
On the next page, take a look at the border at the top of the page that stretches
across the screen, directly underneath the banner. It's in yellow. This indicates
that the category is classified as commercial. Non-commercial categories are in
blue.
You will also find the listing that you clicked on located somewhere down the
page.

3. There you have it. That's how you select the best category when submitting to a
web directory. You can use a similar technique when submitting to other web
directories.
For example, to submit to the LookSmart Directory, find the best category in MSN
Search. The reason for this is because MSN search results include LookSmart
listings and sends more traffic than LookSmart itself.
The same is true for the Open Directory Project Index. In this instance, use the
Google Directory.
Good luck with your web directory submissions!
