When you're trying to increase your search engine rankings, one of the first strategies to employ is to seek listings in as many legitimate directories as possible. Directories tend to have higher PageRank to pass on to your site than the average reciprocal linking partner site. Moreover, they bring one-way links to your site so that your own PageRank (sometimes called "link juice") isn't diluted by outgoing links.

Unlike submitting to search engines, submitting your site to directories and niche portals usually involves a lot more than simply typing in your URL. You often have to start by researching the various topic categories to find the most appropriate area to submit to. Then you generally have to provide some detailed information about your site, its’ content, your company and your contact details.
