A search engine ranking can be influenced by a listing in a respected web directory. Google in particular adds weight through its PageRank (tm) technology for a listing within DMOZ (Open Directory Project) due to the amount of mirroed ODP sites. It is not just Google that places extra weight for websites with links from major directories either. Studies suggest that Altavista and FAST (AllTheWeb) powered search engines also give added weight to those sites with a link from a major directory.

Search engines rely on robotic spider programs to index web pages and algorithms to determine rankings. Web directories on the other hand, depend on humans to review web sites, compile the listings and organize them into directory categories. The techniques we use to raise search engine rankings such as meta tags, body content, titles, load time, etc. are not the same techniques we use to obtain high rankings in directories.

Submitting your email publications to the various ezine and list directories can create a significant increase in subscribers over time. However, because there are a number of directories and each has its own set of submission criteria, it can get a little confusing as you submit to each one. Some might not accept your ezine the first time, while others can take weeks or even months to approve your submission.

Many search engines had to find new revenue streams as the dot com bubble burst and so advertising soon found its way into search engine listings. The truth of this is that nothing can be completely pure, but these same search engines want to have their results fund them without becoming tainted. How is this possible?
