While doing directory submission, We should submit unique description and title ?

[chhatarpal]

Hello Moz Members,

I just want to clarify that, We do directory submission in 50 of sites.

For Example:

I have to target 10 keyword's, and i am doing directory submission. I have 10 Unique titles and 10 unique description. I just need to submit these 10 keywords in 50 directory's

10 keywords * 50 directory = 500 submission.

I will just submit the same 10 Unique titles and 10 unique description to these 500 directory. So it wont be count as duplicate content and duplicate title in every directory.

Or

Every time i do directory submission i have to submit unique description and unique title.

Please help me with these question, I am really confused how shall i proceed to directory submission. If any one have fast approval directory sites list then please share the information with me.

Regards & Thanks,

Chhatarpal Singh

Hi,

You should not do directory submission at all due to the low authority links it passes on.  However, if you do decide to do directory submission, I would suggest having evertyhing unique or close to unique meaning different title, different description, different content, and etc.

As long as you have a chunk of similar content, Search Engines will pick it up as duplicate content.

Hope this helps a bit.

I disagree about directory submissions. They can be great, but don't submit to just any directory. A great resource for good directories, many free, is info.vilesilencer.com. If you are just planning to spam a bunch of sites to directories, be prepared to only see your links accepted on the lowest quality directories. If you are writing a thoughtful title and description for a high quality resource on the web, you'll have the better directories accept your resource. Some directories charge for the review process, and people like Matt Cutts have said this is perfectly fine so long as there is a high level of editorial policy.

As long as the directory is not spammy and have a decent authority, the link from it wouldn't hurt.  However, majority of the directories on the web are usually spammy; therefore, I suggest not doing it and try other backlinking strategies to earn your backlinks.

Furthermore, if you content is unique, then submitting to directories would cause duplicate content.  Overall, provide unique contents and titles if you are really planning to do directory submission.

_Again I do not like the approach. It seems like you are in a hurry to get as many links from different websites as quickly as possible. Do not treat link building that way. Take it as an attempt to gain exposure and believe me it is time consuming. For say, to get your website approved by Dmoz.org, you might have to wait for 6 to 8 months on an average. Moreover, instant approved directories are not that great as spammers mostly troll there. So, hold the horse. Prepare a list of niche and quality directories and then approach them. _
