What is Online Directory Listing?
Online directory or Internet directory or web directory is a list of URLs with or without
description of URL or website indexed in categories. Website owners or webmasters submit
their website/s under the relative category following guidelines of particular directory service.
These are considered to play a vital role in Search Engine Optimization and a little in Internet
Branding.

Broadly speaking there are two kind of Internet directories; human edited and automated.

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 out
sourcing you link popularity exercise.
