Link Building
Every webmaster knows how important incoming links are to their website.
From offsite search engine optimisation (SEO) to increasing
traffic, incoming links are the key to any website's success.
Website Directory Submission
One of the easiest ways to gain links to any website is to
submit your URL to some of the dozens of website directories
scattered around the web. The process is easy enough –
simply visit your chosen website directory (see my list of
high-quality, SEO-friendly directory lists to get started),
and fill in your website’s details.
Each website directory is different, but the majority of
them request the same information from a submitting webmaster;
website name, website description, website URL, reciprocal
link URL (a page on your website that contains a link back
to the directory), your name and your email address.
No rocket science there, right? Right! But, after you’ve
been through the add URL process a few (or a few dozen!) times
for different directories, it becomes almost indescribably
tedious. That’s where SiteSub comes in!
Submit sites more easily
SiteSub is a free Windows program specially designed to ease
the process of adding your link to a website directory, blog
directory or link list.
It is not – absolutely NOT – an autosubmitter
program. Autosubmitters are unpopular with many website directory
owners, and using one can be a very quick way to get all of
your sites banned from an awful lot of useful directories.
Instead, SiteSub provides a small window with spaces to type
in all the details you need to submit to the website directory.
A simple button next to each field lets you copy the text
to the clipboard, ready for pasting into the website directory
submission form – no more tedious, error prone retyping
for every directory!
To make the URL submission process even easier, SiteSub can
be made to stay on top of all other windows so it’s
always visible as you add links to directory sites.
No matter how easy SiteSub makes it to add your link website
directories, it’s unlikely that you’d want to
submit your site to all of them in one go. No problem! SiteSub
can save your website’s details for later use, meaning
you can take a little time off then come back to add your
link to more directories later.
Portable application
Even more usefully, SiteSub is a portable application. It's self contained, meaning you can just copy the program onto your USB memory stick or other portable storage device and take it with you, so you can carry on adding your link to website directories from any computer with an internet connection.
Free software
Best of all, SiteSub is freeware - use it how you like, whenever
you like, for free. I hope you find it useful!
All the best,
Rob.
