Web Directories in Brief:

	Web directories are organize of websites which serve as a catalog of links sorted by relevant category topics. Type of Web Directories: There are several kinds of directories as below: • General Directory - Free Directory, Paid Directory, Reciprocal Directory • Niche Directory • Deep Links Directory Web directories offer links for free, for a fee or in exchange for a link(reciprocal links). there are general directories which categorize websites based on their core focus. some directories concentrate only on specific fields and list only the related websites called niche directories. some directories allow inner page submission know as deep link directories. many directories are free and do not charge for review and listing, while a few allow only paid submissions. Benefit of submit site to web directories: There are a few answer as belows: • To get your website indexed • To get one way links • Traffic (not such a benefit with most directories) SEO-Friendly Directory: A Directory have a quality which is easily or better way to “read” or “detect” by search engines. When submitting your site to a web directory, you had want to make sure whether the link you get from the directory would be counted by the search engines. There are quite a few directories that give out links which are not counted by the search engines, i.e., they are not SEO-friendly links. There are a few things a directory needs to do to ensure its SEO-friendly: • There should not be a META no-follow or no-index tag on the link pages • The links should not have a ‘rel=nofollow’ tag on them • The links should not be JavaScript-generated • The URL of the links page contains too many parameters • The links should not be re-directed The difference between a Link Farm and a Web Directory: A link farm is mere collection of links which are not categorized under relevant topics. Anyone and everyone can submits their links and there is little or no editorial review of these links. these links have been built for the sole purpose of manipulating the search engines and not designed for the end user. One can identifies a link farm from its link pages, where there are hundreds of links on one page and all of them linking to out sites of various topics. There is basically no meaningful purpose or intention behind the links on the page. A web directory, on the other hand, is not only a collection of links but the links have been categorized under relevant topics and sites are listed only after they undergo editorial review. Directories are useful to the user in that if an user wanted to find a site under a particular topic, it would be easy to go to the appropriate category and choose from the selection of links. All links in a web directory are well-categorized and meaningfully sorted out. Not every link that is submitted to a directory will necessarily be listed as there is always some kind of supervision over the links allowed in a directory. Having a link on a web directory is more value by search engine compares to having a link on a link farm.so,It’s advisable to avoid having links on the "Free For All”(FFA) Links pages.
