Low pagerank directories are like penny-stocks!

Lots of time webmasters / site owners wonder if it is worth submitting their website to less popular directories.

In my opinion, they should take a try, because the returns / benefits is much higher than the effort / cost involved. It takes few cents to submit a website to a free online directory. And it is like a penny stock. If it does not click, those few cents are gone (not really!, since every incoming link helps). However if even 5% of the directories you submit to clicks, you are in for a huge bonus. Consider the following issues:

  • When a directory becomes popular, they are no longer free! This means you will have to pay for getting into the directory.
  • You may never remember that directory or come to know about it. If you ignore and your competitors do not, you are at the losing end.
  • Today the directory is small. However if the promoters are serious, the directory may become very big tomorrow, resulting in an early entry into a successful directory (with relative ease).

So, low pagerank directories are penny stock, with a very high probability of giving you very high returns on investment. So, go ahead and do directory submission to as many directories as you can or better outsource it to a company who does it for a reasonable price to save yourself the time and effort.
