What is directory submission in SEO?


1) Get quality and safe backlinks:
Most blog directories are manually supervised for any wrong submissions. Hence, these sites are spam free and are a potential source of building SEO friendly backlinks. Some blog directories also provide dofollow backlinks. Imagine what benefit can getting the 10 dofollow backlinks from 10 submissions have on your blogs ranking in the SERPs.
2) Getting massive exposure:
Let’s face it. Your audience is the key to your blog’s existence. You have your own set of audience from a particular demographic region. How about crossing those limits and getting seen by an even larger audience.
Blog directories display your site for every related search query on their database. That means more chances of getting noticed by audiences that would otherwise have no idea on your blog.
3) Chances of getting review requests or paid post opportunities:
Some web directories are so active and because these directories are popular and usually have quality blog submissions these are the best (and easiest) places for businesses to look for paid review postings.
Since you are a member of these directories your website is visible to these brands. The chances are higher you get business opportunities from them like sponsored reviews or banner advertisements on your blog.
4) Increase in blog’s overall earnings:
Considering the above facts, we can say that submitting your blog to directories can help you in getting review requests. Moreover, they increase chances of your blog getting discovered so you have an increased audience base.
An increase in audience is directly proportional to increase in earnings through any monetization method you have set up on your blog.
