description of URL or website indexed in categories. Website owners or webmasters

Submitting your website is a risky proposition considering changes in Search
Engine's policies and trends. Paid links support the fact that you are serious about
your business but not that your site contains quality content. So what I understand,
directory listing helps redirecting your web-crawler to you site, but not ranking is
governed by proprietary algorithm of Search Engines. Too much of directory listing
can also suggest link purchasing program, not appreciated by Search Engines. So a
balance act should be performed, no need of outsourcing you link popularity exercise.
