While doing directory submission, We should submit unique description and title ?
-
Hello Moz Members,
I just want to clarify that, We do directory submission in 50 of sites.
For Example:
I have to target 10 keyword's, and i am doing directory submission. I have 10 Unique titles and 10 unique description. I just need to submit these 10 keywords in 50 directory's
10 keywords * 50 directory = 500 submission.
I will just submit the same 10 Unique titles and 10 unique description to these 500 directory. So it wont be count as duplicate content and duplicate title in every directory.
Or
Every time i do directory submission i have to submit unique description and unique title.
Please help me with these question, I am really confused how shall i proceed to directory submission. If any one have fast approval directory sites list then please share the information with me.
Regards & Thanks,
Chhatarpal Singh

_Again I do not like the approach. It seems like you are in a hurry to get as many links from different websites as quickly as possible. Do not treat link building that way. Take it as an attempt to gain exposure and believe me it is time consuming. For say, to get your website approved by Dmoz.org, you might have to wait for 6 to 8 months on an average. Moreover, instant approved directories are not that great as spammers mostly troll there. So, hold the horse. Prepare a list of niche and quality directories and then approach them. _

As long as the directory is not spammy and have a decent authority, the link from it wouldn't hurt. However, majority of the directories on the web are usually spammy; therefore, I suggest not doing it and try other backlinking strategies to earn your backlinks.
Furthermore, if you content is unique, then submitting to directories would cause duplicate content. Overall, provide unique contents and titles if you are really planning to do directory submission.

I disagree about directory submissions. They can be great, but don't submit to just any directory. A great resource for good directories, many free, is info.vilesilencer.com. If you are just planning to spam a bunch of sites to directories, be prepared to only see your links accepted on the lowest quality directories. If you are writing a thoughtful title and description for a high quality resource on the web, you'll have the better directories accept your resource. Some directories charge for the review process, and people like Matt Cutts have said this is perfectly fine so long as there is a high level of editorial policy.

Hi,
You should not do directory submission at all due to the low authority links it passes on. However, if you do decide to do directory submission, I would suggest having evertyhing unique or close to unique meaning different title, different description, different content, and etc.
As long as you have a chunk of similar content, Search Engines will pick it up as duplicate content.
Hope this helps a bit.

Homepage title tag: "Keywords for robots" vs "Phrases for users"
Hi all, We keep on listening and going through the articles that "Google is all about user" and people suggesting to just think about users but not search engine bots. I have gone through the title tags of all our competitors websites. Almost everybody directly targeted primary and secondary keywords and few more even. We have written a very good phrase as definite title tag for users beginning with keyword. But we are not getting ranked well comparing to the less optimised or backlinked websites. Two things here to mention is our title tag is almost 2 years old. Title tag begins with secondary keyword with primary keyword like "seo google" is secondary keyword and "seo" is primary keyword". Do I need to completely focus on only primary keyword to rank for it? Thanks

Why Google changed our page-title suddenly which has been same for years
Hi all, I know Google shows a different page titles. Happens when over optimised or when we copied competitors page title. But we did neither. Suddenly Google changed our homepage page title in search results. Our page title suffix "brand name" has been moved to beginning. Our page title is still for years.

Embedded site on directory from other country
Dear all, With Google search console I found my site embedded on some directories from other countries, with 1000 links to my site.

Lots of dublicate titles and pages on search page
I own a paiting website with a lot of searchable paintings. The "search paintings" feature creates tons of dublicate pages and titles. See here:
Algorithm Updates | | KasperGJ
http://www.maleribasen.dk/soegmaleri.asp I guess the problem is, that the URL can actually be different and still return the same content. First time you click the "Search paintings" the URL will shown as above. But as soon as users
begin to definere they search to the left and use the "Search button" the top URL changes. So, depending on how the top URL looks different results are shown. This is pretty standard in searches. But it returns tons of dublicate pages and titles. How, do you guys cope with that? Is there a clever way to use ref="cannonical" or some other smart way to avoid this? /Kasper0 -
Did Google update the length of characters allowed in Meta Description?
Hey all, I do SEO. I'm currently working with another SEO firm on a project. The lady mentioned to me that Google recently updated (couple months ago) and changed their font causing them to lower the meta description to 55 characters. Is this true? I have not heard of this. Could she be confusing the meta description with the title tag? I didn't know Google could have even update the Title tag too.

Which is the better option in 2012, sub-domains or sub-directories?
Pinnion offers online software for surveys and trivia games. Information about our product is at www.pinnion.com and then interested users create their accounts at secure.pinnion.com. The surveys that they create link back to secure.pinnion.com, so we would obviously like to gain whatever SEO benefits we can from that structure. We've been advised that moving from secure.pinnion.com to www.pinnion.com/secure would be the best way to accomplish this. A 2009 post by Rand seems to support that POV, but then a 2011 post over SEObook claims that everything has changed 100% since then. There was a little conversation here and here in Q&A last Fall that touched on this subject, but nothing really definitive. Would love to get thoughts on this subject based on the collective wisdom today. Thanks.

Is There Any Problem For Google When We Use Capital Letters in the Beginning of Each Word in TITLE?
I'm just wandering is there any difference when we use "Cheap Holidays to Egypt" or "Cheap holidays to Egypt". It is easier for users to read first option but would the second be more relevant for crawls?
