Link Building and Ranking Your rank on most search engines is directly proportional to how many links you have and how often you update them and your pages.  If you build too many links too quickly, you may get penalized (or dropped in rank order by the search engines), as that is a common trick for "bad" sites.  However, if you add links, including social media, on a consistent basis, you will be rewarded.  The key word here is "Consistent" - and that is exactly why you are better off having a professional do your Internet Marketing.  Why Automatic Submissions to Directories DO NOT WORK: Any legitimate and/or decent ranking directory will either confirm your entry via email or ask you to enter the numbers/letters from an image manually.  Automatic submission can do neither.  Manual confirmation and approval is required for any high ranking directory - if not, they may do you more harm than good! Directories Submission (most are free): What you do have to be careful about when you use these particular sites or any of them rather, is to use a throw-away email address. At least do not give them your main business email addresses ... you will most assuredly get Spammed from heck to high-water if you use it. Close to Return to FREE Internet Marketing Program
