Submit Your Site to 10,000 Web Directories for $100
If 1 is good 2 is better…if 2 is better than 300 is great…or so the strategy goes. In theory that is nice, but that is not how the web works. As the opportunity cost of a marketing strategy decreases then the networks influenced by the technique get better at demoting it.
In May of last year John Scott tested submitting his site to 5 strong paid directories while submitting another site to 700 cheap directories. He shares his results here. And what are they? 5 quality paid directories outperformed 700 cheap directories, and the site with 700 links appeared penalized while the other site got 100+ search engine referrals each day.
