There is literally a war between the websites to get to the top of search results.

To get to the top in search results, we need to know what the search engines are looking for. There are some software programs called crawlers or spiders which look at the websites for different factors. Every page is not indexed by the search engines. Distance of pages from the root directory of a site may also be a factor in whether or not pages getting crawled. Some search engine encourages paid submission of a website, which means that the websites need to pay an amount, say for monthly or yearly basis or need to pay per clicks on their websites link. Usually these websites don’t get ranked by that search engines. The webmasters can even stop the spider from crawling an undesired file or a part of the website by writing some simple code.

The method to improve the search results of websites is called search engine optimization. There are many ways to improve the websites ranking. One of the methods is submitting the links of the website in a higher ranked website. One of the factors the spiders look for is the links, if a website is linked to a higher ranked website it will improve the ranking of the website of which, the link is submitted. There many ways to submit the links of website it can be in directories, forums or in a blog site. Many of these websites offer to submit the links free of cost, but some websites may include a charge along with it. Some websites accepts links only if the user reciprocates by allowing a link of the higher ranked website to be included in users website and one can opt for free services.

Usually in all these directories, forums, blogs one has to register, only then can submit the link of their website. As far as directories are concerned we can add our link to the pre existing categories which fits the website. In forums, one needs to participate in a discussion on the forums or need to add a comment to the existing discussion, and then add a link to the website. There are some advertising forums where in a user can submit the advertisements directly. But in some forums one cannot place the link immediately after registering, it takes some time. Usually in blog any one can add their link along with their blog.

So before going ahead with submitting the link of your website, choose a directory, forum or a blog ,which don’t charge you, and check the emails after registering to know how long they take to approve the your link.
