Thanks streetslocal.

I need a list of free uk directories, where I can submit a link to my website.

Who can help?

Err, have you tried googling for 'free directories' or 'directory lists'.

You should be aware however that the amount of traffic you will get is going to be almost zero and in general the listings won't help your ranking.

[ledbillboards-co-uk]

Yes, I have. I have found a lot of American ones only.
"in general the listings won't help your ranking" - so what do you suggest instead of it?
Thanks for your advice.

try google.co.uk perhaps your preferences are set to google.com ?

The solution is simple:

1. You need lots of great content on your site, lots of useful, informative and interesting stuff that people want to read/look at.

2. Follow the google guidelines and make sure the site still works using a text browser.

Looking at your site there are a gazillions of things you could do to help you ranking. Page titles, headers, text , alt tags, anchor text could all be improved. The product pages could easily rank well if they were properly optimised. This means you shouild be concentrating on making your site effective before beginning a link building campaign.

The other thing to consider is your conversion rate. It's often easier to double yopur conversion rate than it is to double the number of visitors.

Thank you for the info.

I have already done a lot stuff on my web led signs (http://www.ledbillboards.co.uk/) and now I am looking for links.
Could you tell me where I can find a good source of links pointing to my website?

There is loads of SEO things you could do on the site - in just a few minutes I spotted half a dozen ranking issues with the site and I'm sure a deeper assessment would uncover a lot more.

As to the links thing, that's not how it works. You need to earn the quality links. This means getting testimonials on the websites of the businesses you supply to. It means earning a link on your local governemet site. It means being quoted on a marketing site (led signs=good marketing) and so on.

As a rule of thumb, the easier a link is to obtain the lower the value of that link.

Why would you want to? I've had a site listed on DMOZ for a good few years now and haven't had a single visitor nor does it show as an inbound link. DMOZ is a spent force, it was an excellent resource back in the early years of Google but the search engines do a much better job these days.

Hi I have sites listed on there but like fisicx have no visitors from there and it doesnt appear anywhere (dmoz) on any competitive searches that im interested in (unlike other directories)

Having a link on it, is used in a lot of SEO ranking metrics as its one of the oldest and manually edited directories so there must be some value in it and I will continue to submit my clients to it by default and luckily I seem to have worked out how to get listed on it reasonably quickly.
