Benefits of Paid Web Directories

There are thousands of reputable and human edited Web directories in the Internet all of them serving one common purpose, to help webmasters promote their Web sites. There are many Web directories to choose from but in the end you will encounter two types of Web directories, they are classified free and paid directories. Although some directories may offer free and paid listing at the same time, you will come to a decision where you will either choose a free listing or a paid listing. Choosing a paid listing has many benefits over a free listing, it may cost you money but the compensation acquired in return will be more than what you will pay for.

Save Valuable Time

Paid Web directories usually guarantee a short period of time to review your Web site. Some Web directories guarantee twenty-four hours while others might take longer but usually not exceeding longer than a week or seven business days. The important thing to consider here is the time it will take for you to know if your submission is accepted or not in a very short period. This is important most especially if you would like to promote your Web site instantaneously to maintain status or to have an edge over your competitors. For free directories, although not all of them, it may take weeks or even more and some of them may not even inform you of the status of your submission.

Increase Chances of Acceptance

Choosing a paid directory will increase the chances of your site being accepted but again it is not guaranteed. The money you will spend will be used to cover expenses for a fast review of your Web site thus making your submission a priority and will increase the chances of your site getting listed. If you choose a free directory, your listing will be included in pending list and depending on the volume of submission it will take time before your listing will be reviewed and much worse your submission may be deleted anytime. Some directories will refund your money if your site is not accepted while others will not return your money if it is rejected. So knowing this, directory editors will be confident that sites submitted are of good quality.

You Become a Valued Customer

Promoting, acquiring a reputable rank and maintaining a directory cost financial resources and some of the money you will be spending on paid Web directories will be used not only for review fees but for promotional purposes as well. There are many reasons why some Web directories offer free services but the most common is to acquire your email address to promote some products or services, to promote advertisers or to gain income from advertising service programs. Once you opt for paid listing, you become a valued customer and everyone knows the advantages and benefits of being one, at the same time you also help Web directory owners help maintain their Web site.

Before going to paid directories set your budget and choose them very carefully. Take the time to visit some of the Web sites listed if they have good quality, read and follow their submission guidelines and Terms of Services (TOS), remember, inclusion is not guaranteed so follow them strictly. Again some Web directories will not refund your money if your Web site is rejected so take this as a word of caution. Web directories are your source of quality back links and acquiring good inbound links has many benefits including having favourable rank with search engines. Take advantage of the benefits that paid directories can offer, it is debatable if the money you will spend is worth it, but if you will take the time to read articles and books about SEO, paid Web directories are always on the menu list for SEO.
