Hey Guys,
This is an update to our Directory Submission Experiment
It’s been the entire 6 weeks now since we started with the submissions and we have done nothing other then good quality on-page SEO.
The results have been better then I expected. This is partially due to the fact that we are dealing with Google Australia which is easier to rank in so the results seen are better then what you would see in the main Google.
However it still does show that you can get results from Directory submissions when done correctly.
So what are the results…
Google.com.au
Keyword                  Position
decorative rugs          39
jute rugs                  41
designer rugs            41
discount rugs            57
cheap rugs               60
Google.com.au (selecting Australia Only)
Keyword:Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Position:
decorative rugs        2
jute rugs                  6
discount area rugs      7
cheap area rugs         8
discount rugs            14
cheap rugs               18
Now I know that this is for Australia only, but I would still call those fairly substantial results for a brand new domain (6 weeks old now) with no SEO done to it other then the directory submission.
This kinda proves that directories do still have an effect for those that were not sure.
The results are amplified when targeting longer tail keywords with less competition.
Points to look out for:
1. Make sure your directory submission service knows what they are doing (no automatic submissions, do only manual submissions)
2. Make sure they are doing manual submissions to quality directories, too many services do this automatic submission bs which just means you are getting crappy directories basically.
3. Make sure they have a filtered list, Google has performed major smackdown recently on alot of directories, you dont want to be posted in these.
4. It is great if they can handle the confirmation receipts also.
5. Very important that they do a delayed submission over time.
For those that want to go out and find a service that would be my criteria.
For PLRPro members I will be letting you know very shortly who my “secret” source is for all things SEO. Including my own private sites.
They are absolutely awesome, a true gem found in the sand of the SEO ocean.
There will be another update here with their services shortly anyhow, but we are doing something special for PLRPro members (including PLRPro Ebook members) very soon.

Hi Marc,
I am/have been a PLRPro member for quite some time and am starting some more sites with help from your PLR content and I am wondering when you would let us know (as you mentioned) what your SEO directory submission source is so we can use it as well to help our sites?
Thanks,
Mike

So when are you gonna spill the beans? I’ve been a PLRPro member for more than a year…
Thanks
I also vote for you spilling the beans!
Haha Hey Neil,
Didn’t expect to see you over this way
I will be spilling the beans very shortly, just sorting out the details with “the uber source” and then will release a kick ass plan detail for anyone interested.
You won’t find anything as good or well priced around.
Regards
Marc
