Add URL to Directories

When it comes to bidding directories there are a couple different strategies that people submitting there pursue. 

There are those people that search out bidding directories for the benefit of being able to control where their link is placed through the bidding process.  They want to be able to bid the placement of their link up to the top of their respective category or even on to the front page.  This ensures their link exposure on the page that receives the most traffic for that directory.

Going for the opportunity to to place your bid on the first page for traffic reasons can turn into an expensive proposition.  Depending on the directory that first initial bid to get there can be expensive and what usually ensues is a bidding war to stay on that page.  There are submitters that feel the boost in traffic is worth the expense and in some cases they are correct.  Then there are others that just don’t want to be involved in an ongoing bidding war for position.

This situation causes some people to take another tactic with bidding directory submission.  Rather than going for the front page they will look at the minimum bid and increase that minimum bid by one dollar or even fifty cents. 

There are numerous sites that will make submissions to bidding directories for only the minimum amount.  By bidding one dollar over that minimum amount you get much better positioning of your link within the category.  In categories that have many links it can be the difference between being on page 8 and being on page 2.  This can make an enormous difference in the value of that link.  One that is absolutely worth the price of an extra dollar at the time of submission.

A last option for those people looking for traffic exposure for their website does not even involve bidding directories and the threat of having your link moved down by another website out bidding you.  It involves traditional general web directories that have a modification (by Forplex) to their directory that allows for a site of the day to be featured on the first page of the directory. 

This feature allows for highly customized exposure to traffic and is not subject to a bidding process.  You simply reserve the space for a series of days throughout the month.  Typically it requires that you have a regular or featured listing on that directory prior to reserving that space, but in cases where you are looking for a boost in traffic to your site this is a great and less expensive solution for you.
