The concept of bidding on links in a directory is pretty new. Basically a Link Bidding Directory allows a site owner to place a bid normally at the minimum starting price of $1.00 and if the webmaster places the highest bid their website will be ranked number one on the main page of the Link Bidding Directory and also in the category the webmaster has selected to have their website listed in.

Webmasters can bid any amount desired to determine their website position in the Link Bidding Directory but depending on how much you bid will determine your overall website ranking.

Normally a Link Bidding Directory will display the first 10 highest bids on it’s home page and Links in the directory are permanent and sorted into related categories, displayed in descending order of the bid amount.

A Link Bidding Directory is also a 100% human edited web directory of quality, family-friendly, and spam-free sites organized via a comprehensive category structure.

By submitting your website to a Link Bidding Directory you will increase the number of links pointing to your website which will give you a better search engine rank, and also bring more visitors to your site, plus it will also increase your Google PageRank and improve your site’s overall site strength.

What you should look for in a Link Bidding Directory before submitting your website and placing a link bid is what is the Google Pagerank of the directory and what will it cost you to get on the home page of the directory.

If the directory has a google Pagerank of 3-4 and you can get your website listed on the home page for under $10 then that is a great deal because your link could remain on the home page for 2-4 months and you will get people clicking on your link and you will also get a share of the PR of the directory in the next Google pagerank update.

But if the directory happens to have a Google Pagerank of 5+ you can expect to pay $20 plus to get your website listed on the home page of the directory, but you need to remember your link could be there for 2-4 months so paying $20 to get your website listed on the home page of a PR5 directory is well worth the investment.

If you need a list of Link Bidding Directories then you can go to Google.com and typin the following keywords that will return many Link Bidding Directories you can check out.

  • Link Bidding Directory
  • Bid On Links
  • Link Bidding
  • Bid Directory
  • Bid On Links Directory

Another great thing about Link Bidding Directories is that if your website gets out bidded and you no longer are listed on the home page of the directory you can increase your bid and you will thus be listed on the home page once more.So overall paying for a link on a Link Bidding Directory can well be worth the investment and with the number of Link Bidding Directories coming out each day you have an endless source of new places to get cheap links pointing back to your website.

Why you need to tweak your website

If you want to appeal to the search engines then you need to make sure your website remains fresh and up to date. A lot of people talk about getting to number one on Google, but they don’t often tell you how much work is involved in staying there.

The truth is simple – if you want to get there and stay there, you need to work at it and be prepared to tweak your website regularly to remain on or near the top of the rankings. Why is this? It’s simply because Google then recognizes your website as one that is current and up to date, rather than one which is neglected and hasn’t been updated in weeks or even months.

A lot of people think that the changes need to be big ones, but that isn’t the case. Updating your website could be as simple as rewording a paragraph that just doesn’t flow, or including a couple of extra links here and there, or any one of a dozen other tiny processes that serve as the ideal update to let the big search engines know that you are still there, working to create a site that will be even better in the long term than it is in the short term.

Regular alterations and additions also give your visitors a reason to come back often. If they know there is going to be something new to read and digest virtually every time they visit your website, then you are going to get more repeat traffic and that leads to more sales in the long run.

The trick is to make small changes often, rather than go for big changes only every now and again. Small and regular effort brings better results and more traffic both in the short and the long term.
