Walter,

Submitting your site to directories can definitely build up inbound links to your site, but the quality of the links is generally really low, so you won’t get much benefit from the practice. Defining quality links is a bit much for this comment, but if you want to get some more information, check out this article I recently posted on AR: Blogging SEO

Would submitting to directories be in the realm of link building? Or would that be something different?

They would have to be in the same direction right?

Thanks so much Pam… Considering you ran into Jay already, you’re obviously learning from some great sources!

Can’t believe I just NOW found this article!
Still, valuable, killer content! (I found it through a slide presentation that Jay Thompson had on Linked-in.)
I guess better late than never! I look forward to reading and learning more.
It’s funny…..I’ve seen so many “social media gurus” lately, and most I think are full of it. You are one that consistently proves that you know what you’re talking about!

Dustin,
Oh my goodness!!! You don’t know what a breath of fresh air it is to find this article. Now, I just need some time to make this work. I bought a very good domain name years ago–before I even understood domains (probably still don’t). I have emailed this to my partners! I certainly look forward to reading more from you!!!

Mark: so glad you find it helpful. It is kinda crazy to think how much things have changed since 2005, but some things (such as the value of inbound links) are pretty timeless!

I completely agree, inbound links are crucial to the success of any website. You can drop a pretty penny on SEO, or you can take the time to learn about the process and get your hands dirty!
