Crazy End Of Summer Directory Submissions Sale

If you’ve been reading my blog the past several months, or know me from the BANS forum, then you know I’ve offered my own directory submission service. Well, I’ve decided to stop offering this, and am retiring from the directory submission service.

The good news for you is that my friend Lora is going to take over the business from me. She lives a mile and a half down the road from my house, and she’s already helped me with customers’ submission work (especially when I had a lot of orders at once). So Lora knows what to do, and she’ll do a fantastic job going forward.

Lora has decided to run a sale on the submission prices, and you can find more information on her site: Crazy End Of Summer Sale : Directory Submissions.

Are Directory Submissions Worthwhile?

Having said all that, you might be asking if directory submissions are even worthwhile nowadays. If you do a Google search, you’ll find lot’s of editorials stating not to bother.

Here’s my take on directory submissions… they’re one piece of the larger SEO puzzle. In and of themselves, you won’t rank high in the search engines just from directory submissions, but they definitely can help. They contribute by giving you more backlinks. Backlinks are backlinks, and every one helps.

If you had to spend an entire evening submitting your site to free directories yourself, then I would agree that directory submissions aren’t worthwhile. However you don’t have to do it yourself. You can have Lora perform the submissions for you very inexpensively.

So for what it’s worth, I plan on continuing to submit my new sites to free directories, and personally plan to have Lora do the submissions.

(Full Disclosure: I am not getting anything in return for recommending Lora’s service. I was just happy she was willing to take over the business… )

Announcing the “Affiliate Marketing Niche Blog Series”

Content vs. No Content

Today I got into a debate on the BANS forum regarding the best strategy for deploying BANS sites. Basically, the debate centered around two schools of thought:

1. Build as many BANS sites as possible, as quickly as possible. Don’t worry about content or quality. The more the better.
2. Build each BANS site with a focus on quality. Add unique content. Ensure your site adds value to the visitors.
