Directory Submissions

Submitting a website in numerous directories is an important factor for achieving better rankings in the Search Engines.

The directory that you submit to will automatically link back to your website. A link back to your website is a vote for your website. But there is a catch - think like the SAG (Screen Actors Guild) Awards - Actors vote for their favorites within the movie industry. It wouldn’t make sense for a doctor from a medical field for vote for anyone during the SAG awards. In the same spirit - if your website is about Real Estate, it would make sense to any sensible person (and yes, to Search Engines) if links coming in are from Real Estate related websites.

A good number of directories to submit to would be around 20 to 50. Try to list with local and/or niche directories, which will emphasize either your location or specific industry.

Important note: When choosing paid directories, it would be wise and well worth your money to ensure that not more than 25 links are leaving the page and that it has, at the very least has a page rank of 3/10 or more.

This linking algorithm aka “vote-for-my-website” is the heart and soul of Google Search. Brilliant if you ask me. Just brilliant.

And you can get more of this list from Search Engine Watch: Major SE's & Directories

Finding specific niche directories is always good. Some of these directories are listed at www.isedb.com

We at GoCayman.ky actually have a database of directories that we submit our client's website for optimization purposes. We spent many man hours to find these directories so we aren't giving it out for free. To order this list, contact us.

Cayman SEO: Update on Changing to neutral Top Level Domains (TLD)

Just a very quick update on TLD's that address the geo targeting tool that Google released, or is it unleashed.  One of our internal website www.cayman4rent.ky already had a page rank of 3 and was very visible for online searches for most rental keywords in the Cayman Islands and it its domain age was not even 1 year old.  When google inserted the fixed geo-targeting location on Web Master Tools it was a wake up call of sorts. I quickly read up on what this could possible mean to the .ky and realized very quickly that Google was going to remove the .ky from its US data centres.  I wrote a blog regarding TLDs back in February and you can read it here .  On that blog I showed the fact that www.cayman4rent.ky was showing up for major keywords such as "grand cayman rentals" in the Cayman Islands but it was not showing up for the same keyword in the United States.  I was crushed really because it mean that I would have to give it a neutral TLD such as a .com for it...

EASY TIPS on Improving your Online Presence

How blogging can improve your online presence I have encouraged a lot of my clients in the Cayman Islands to start blogging. I have even gone through the motion of showing some of them how to blog, where to blog and why. I am providing a bullet point outline of the importance of blogging and am hoping that even the lazy reader will find this interesting if not empowering. Interesting NOTE: Blog is short for ‘Web logs’ Why YOU should blog If you have a business; YOU should blog because: -blogging is a formidable online marketing tool -the search engines easily index blogs because it is text heavy versus websites that are sometimes more graphically intensive -blogging is as easy as sending email, except in this case you are sending an email to many -blogs can easily be integrated into your website so even if you don’t want to pay to maintain your website, it is still getting new content from your blog -blogs enable your readers to connect with you on a more personal level -blogging ca...

Cayman SEO NEWS: Unethical SEO practices by NETCLUES!

I am a very passionate person when it comes to work and sure, most of the time I don't have time to moderate comments on my blog. Not that there is alot of them mind you, but because I know some people are trying to ride on the link popularity of my blog caymanseo.blogspot.com, which has a pagerank of 4/10 - and because I know how difficult breaks can be - I don't mind and sometimes approve them. What I do mind is when a competing company does it. So my blog is decidedly no. 1 for most if not all the keywords relating to SEO and/or Internet Marketing in the Cayman Islands. Of course it is - I have applied alot of what I know about optimization to my blog. So it really makes me so angry that a competing company would even dare post a link back to their blog hoping to ride on my coat-tails. You should have made a comment at the very least and maybe I would have let it pass but to blatantly put a link back... thats just plain LAZY. Its embarrasing really. I would hate ...
