Yesterday I wrote about how I love free traffic.  I mean, traffic from search engines can be so targeted and be the result of your hard website promotion.  Many different methods exist on how you can promote your site, but for myself, I have had very good success using web directories.

If you went back a couple of years, my marketing efforts were primarily free directory submissions.  Back then, I had the time to sit at the computer (sometimes till early in the morning) and just submit my sites.  Now this hard work paid off over and over again, but now my lifestyle is much different: it is busier.

A busier life means less time to devote to promoting my sites.  So instead of doing it myself, I have taken advantage of a directory submission service that does all the grunt work for me.  I still have to come up with the titles and descriptions for my listings, but they take care of submitting my site to the free directories.

If I could do it all over again, I don’t think that I would have done the manual submissions.  With all the time that paying someone to do it for you frees up, I could have spent my time making many more websites and have had more money flowing into my pocket.
