Directory Submissions - How to get better percentage of acceptance?

Some guidelines follow while you submit your website to directories. It will help you to develop approval of your website. Here is guidelines for writing title, description, keywords and “How to submit” to get improved rate of acceptance.

URL (Uniform Resource Locator)
It sure, what is your site URL, conditions it is with www or without www? It is special for search engines according to Matt Cutts. So it is advice to submit only one.
Many directories DO NOT agree to internal pages, sub domain or subfolders. Many directories do not agree to deep linking’s (More than one URL per site)

Before You Start Building Link

There are various rules you should to follow when you start building links.

[1] Different anchor text of your website.
[2] Include special Keywords in title.
[3] Link sites from different class C - IPS (Important factor for SERP)
[4] Different Types of site, like blog, articles resource, directories site etc.
[5] Not find all links from newer sites, and try to find links from older sites as well.

[9] Try to find authority links, like links from news sites etc.
[10] Do not try to build hundreds of links fast.

1-way, 2-way and 3-way Link buildings

Find website related to your theme/industry and ask them for linking your website. You can come back, links back to them.

Many of webmaster sending emails, calling webmaster or request it in public forums / blogs for such link requests. There are several programs running for finding partners for reciprocal links building. I’d propose you to prefer 3 way link building.

One way link buildings: - You will find links from site; you will not provide any link in return.

Two way link buildings: - You will link partner’s site anywhere on your website. In revisit, your partner will link your site from anywhere on their site.

Three way link buildings: - Your partners links in your site, in revisit, you are linking their site form you’re another website. Than two ways, this is best way to get links as after last Google update (Algorithm) Google has started banning many sites those using reciprocal link building methods to develop their links popularity.
