I like my web traffic to be regular, frequent and free. The simple plan outlined in this article will send you a lot of free traffic. And you can get it all in just 2 minutes a day. Here’s how…
- Schedule a 2 minutes appointment in your calendar – every day for the next 101 days
- Bookmark this website: 101 free directories for SEO link building
- Visit every single site at a rate of one per day over the next 101 days
- I recommend you do this first thing in the morning before you do anything else
In 101 days time you’ll have put your site in 101 different web directories. This helps you get traffic in multiple ways…
- You get 101 links to your site
- Some of your visitors will find you via the various directories
- Each link conveys some SEO value that improves the importance of your site in the eyes of search engines
- Each link is from a different domain. This domain diversity is also helpful
- The better you do in search engines, the more traffic you’ll get
The key to making this work is to do the following…
- Have answers for all the fields asked by directories in a notepad file ready to cut and paste (speeds up submission)
- Write a proper headline and description. Don’t simply submit a list of keywords. The better your description, the more likely it is to be accepted. Here’s an example….

Health : Dentist - Get to know the short-cut keys for copy and paste on your computer (speeds up submission)
- Memorise the best category for your site so you can find it quickly (most directories have identical category definitions)
- Keep doing this for 101 days. Don’t quit half-way through. 100 sites will deliver more than twice the traffic that 50 sites will (i.e. there is a cumulative result that comes into play with link building)
The trouble with Google is that you can never find anything. That is to say, it tends to spit out the same tired old sites over and over and over and over again.
This is especially frustrating when it comes to finding new and exciting information. And it’s why I’ve decided to compile this list of useful SEO resources. Enjoy!
