The Directory Debate!
Lately, there has been a massive debate about why directories are important to webmasters and helping with serps for any website. There are a few people that do not believe that directories are worth anything to anyone, but they have been met with a lot of people giving proof that directories have helped their website gain in the web serps. I just wanted to let everyone know that the people that do not like directories are usually directory owners that have not succeeded in the tough directory industry. They have tried to create and run a directory, but failed because they usually do not understand all the work that goes into it. There are many others that successfully run directories and submit to them because they have been proven to get websites to the top of the serps. I have used only directories as a test on another website and within 6 months of submitting to a combination of free and paid directories, the site got on the top ten for a highly searched and competitive keyword. I know that web directories work to in order to gain the most for websites and you have to take what people say about them with a grain of salt. The quality web directories are trusted by search engines and will stay on top as one of the easiest and most efficient ways to gain position in the serps!
