Directories are search engines powered by human beings. Human editors compile all the listings that directories have. Getting listed with the web's key directories is very important, because their listings are seen by many people. In addition, if you are listed with them, then crawler-based search engines are more likely to find your site and add it to their listings for free.
Preparation
You should prepare before submitting to any directory. This preparation means that you have written a 25 word or less description of your entire web site. That description should make use of the two or three key terms that you hope to be found for.
If you have time, you should consider researching what are the best terms for your site, rather than guessing at these. The What People Search For page has a list of resources that will allow you to do such research. Search Engine Watch members have access to a More What People Search For page with additional information and resources to help in search term research.
It is essential that the description you write not make use of marketing language. So, if you sold shoes and wanted to be found for terms such as "athletic shoes" and "running shoes," you might write a "just the facts" description like this:
| Purchase athletic shoes, running shoes, hiking boots and other footwear plus try our cross country trail finder. |
You would not want a description like this, which is full of marketing hype, which editors dislike:
| World's LARGEST online shoe store with the best prices from the greatest brands!!!! |
Another important directory is LookSmart. This is because LookSmart provides the main listings used by the popular MSN Search service. LookSmart's listings are also distributed to other search engines. As with Yahoo, getting listed with LookSmart is essential for any site owner. As with Yahoo, LookSmart has a free submit option for its non-commercial categories and a paid option for its commercial ones. The paid options are covered in the Submitting Via Paid Listings part of this tutorial, because they involve recurring "cost per click" charges. To submit for free, you must go to Zeal.com, which uses volunteer editors to catalog the web. LookSmart owns Zeal and incorporates the non-commercial listings from Zeal into its own directory. | We Can Submit your site in Major Search engine in very cheap price with good Ranking.

Also as with Yahoo, your submission to the non-commercial categories at Zeal must be for content that is truly non-commercial in nature.
