Links from paid submissions to FWA, awwwards etc.

[Jbla]

I'm thinkink about submitting my company website and some of our clients websites to contest sites like FWA and Awwwards. They offer paid submissions and they claim that for 50€, more or less, my site will be manualy submited to 50 web galleries. What do you think?

These sites are generally just cover ups for paid link directories.

Whenever I see offers like this, I ask myself would I want my site to be submitted to 50 others... along with every other site that this service submits? Link farming - or as Malcolm Gibb has said, paid link directories - are a cheap and spammy way of padding out your profile (something some inexperienced SEO companies will do for smaller sites).

If you're going to pay.... You should be able to find more niche and relevant sites that may cost a little more for 'one link' rather than 50 links for a little cheaper.

I know about FWA but do no really follow it.

I do follow Awwwards and I think i's a trust wordy website. I've seen there listed websites from brands like Pepsi, Coca Cola, Nike, Addidas.

So yes do submit your website to Awwwards, but do it because you have a great website and you can get ranked as the website of the day.

They have amazing websites there and can get you natural back-links from people that will like your website.

I don't know much about the directory submission but I know they are a trusted website.

Hope this Helps
