I tried to avoid directory submission because i just consider them to old

Hello Friends,

Every directory has their own set of guidelines that they follow when approving sites. Summarized below is a general set of guidelines that most directory editors would follow when deciding on whether to approve a site into their directory. Ensuring that you follow these guidelines when submitting your site will give you a better chance of getting approved.
These guidelines have been broken down into the 7 aspects that most editors would look into with regards to your submission:

• Title
• Description
• Keywords
• Category
• Url / Domain
• Email
• Site Content

Thanks

Thanks for sharing it dear. it's basic info and important..

or much better chose multiple categories that are somehow related to what your site promotes

Good tips for submitting a link in the directory site i agree Directory submission is a really good sours for the back linking of the site and for the promotion of sites in the search by submitting the site.

Hi,
I would like to share some important guidelines

• Make sure your site is 100% up and running, with no "under construction" signs. Good site design, fast loading pages, and content are important, especially for Yahoo.
• From the homepage of a directory take your time and find the appropriate category your site fits into. You can do a keyword search using your most important keywords or key phrases and note the category that lists these sites.
• Since Directories do not use robots, everything indexed into a directory is done by people. No META tags, ALT image tags, HTML comments or image maps will help your performance here. Your best bet is to describe your site accurately and the final decision of adding your web site to a directory's database rests with the editor who reviews your web site. Best of luck!
