Should i submit my website to directories
I would most definitely say yes, Why?, well because getting traffic to your website is a bonus but to be able to get quality targeted traffic to your website is something else.
You don't really want people stumbling on your website or be there having clicked in error through some link.
What would be the point? You want visitors to your website to be there because they want to be there.
You will have a much better audience if they are interested in your content, and they are more likely to stay on your website longer which will make you more money however you are monetizing your website.
There are hundreds of thousands and if you pick the correct category for your url then you can get some decent targeted hits.
There is more than likely a directory for every type of website or product; it just takes a bit of research but think of all those targeted hits you can get at the end of it.
For an example if you're a solicitor and your company specializes in many fields such as nursing home abuse, criminal law and financial then your website may be split to cater for these fields them add each site to the correct category.

Google is clever and can penalize your web site or blog. How to get penalized by search engines. If you are serious about your Internet marketing campaign then you want to be on the good side of google and make sure your website or blog meets all of googles standards.
How to get Indexed by Google
You can use the submit URL tool with google but you will be in for a lengthy wait, It can take anything from 3-6 weeks. I have tried and tested many methods to get a site indexed by google fast and here are my findings. This is a method i always follow and has not yet let me down. Some of you will have other ways so please feel free to share them with other readers.
(1)Create around 5 pages of good quality content, if you have a blog then a minimum of 5 posts, i have managed to get blogs indexed with as little as 2 posts but i would aim for 5 to begin with, google loves content. Make sure your content is not duplicated from any other site and that it is keyword enriched, i aim for 3-5% keyword density on my chosen keywords. If you over do your keywords then google will think you are spamming and this will effect your search engine ranking.
(2)Get back links from high PR sites. This is one of the key factors that will determine the speed in which you get indexed by google. The web site that you get the link from must be on the same niche as your web site.

Alternatively if the website you want to link with does not have a submit URL form then pop them an email. Most webmasters are happy to swap links.
(3)Submit articles to article directories such as digg.com and goarticles.com These are the two article directories i would highly recommend you submit your articles to. Especially digg. Make sure your article contains a link to your site.
