Comments on: Review of WL Marketing’s Directory Submission Service (part 3) http://www.esuccessjournal.com/internet-marketing/review-of-wl-marketings-directory-submission-service-part-3/ A chronicle of our path to successful online business building and internet marketing Sun, 20 May 2012 14:34:16 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.7.1 hourly 1 By: elizabeth http://www.esuccessjournal.com/internet-marketing/review-of-wl-marketings-directory-submission-service-part-3/comment-page-1/#comment-21642 elizabeth Sun, 13 May 2012 20:14:17 +0000 http://www.entrepreneurssuccessjournal.com/?p=481#comment-21642 Thank you so much for your post and all the comments. I did manually submit our site and the site to many directories. Tedious is the word. I had to listen to Metallica to keep awake. I am so glad to know that WL Marketing is legitimate. Yext keeps popping up but they are so expensive and I don't like their fear type tactics for newbies like me. I am also going to look at SeNuke. Thank you so much for your post and all the comments.

For organic traffic there is no magic bullet. Slow steady growth and elbow grease seem to work best i.e...finding link partners, blog comments, forums, press releases, articles, etc.... I have had good results hiring outsourced contractors to do this for me. The problem there has been finding good help who can work in a timely manner and keep good records without a lot of direction.

I think I will give these a go as a part of a lerger plan. I’m also going to do some article submissions, get niche blog reviews and participate in the home improvement forums. If anyone has any other ideas I can try please let me know. www.orderblinds.co.uk Hi Doug,

The problem with directory submissions is that so many of the directories do not approve your link for months. You can see the stats on some of them. They have thousands of pending links. So, you only get a fraction of what you pay for in a timely manner. I've used submitedge.com for linking. They are good, but their turnaround is so slow now. It has taken me 3 weeks to get the links submitted. I'm going to try the wlmarketing company. They also have a deep linking service that I have not found elsewhere. Does anyone have any thoughts on deep linking directories? Overall, I have had great results with lots of directory submissions. The cheaper directories will not get you to page one, but they will get you to page two. The more expensive directories, such as Botw.org are necessary to get to page one.

Google likes a slow and steady pace. Plus you dont want to do all 2000 with one company. I try to find a company with smaller submissions like 100 or 200 which i do over 2 to 3 weeks. plus using different companies usually means they are not using the same direcory farms which are usually related.

Thanks :) I'm glad you waited some time and decided to separate the review in 3 parts. Directory submissions could take some time, so it wouldn't have been fair to close the case just like that. I've tried similar services such as Submitedge and Blurbpoint, but I'm always open to new link building packages and WL Marketing has a lot to offer! Thanks again and happy New Year!

I've looked at different services, but I've chosen to go with a dedicated resource and hired a couple of people on Odesk to do the tedious SEO stuff. Additionally, for many of my sites I do very little SEO. I figure you're going to pay for traffic one way or the other and media buys are scalable. Media buys have been driving most of the traffic to my offers lately. Cheers, Doug Hey Trixie,

I've used WL marketing on another site and I also thought it was worth the money, although realistically it's really hard to tell which things are working and which aren't. The porn site link really scares me I didn't notice that when I used them although I did notice the directories had some pretty bodgey sounding names. I have a new site now and i was debating whether I go back to WL or look for a new company. Have you tried the social booking service they offer yet? I'd love to know how that went? Cheers Trixie P.s Not sure why people are complaining about you adding an affiliate link - why shouldn't we thank you for sharing your experience by using your link?!? Hi Doug,

Great review btw.
