Don't take it personal when your listing has not been approved. Always keep in mind that website directories are essential to your search engine optimization strategy.
For you to increase your approval rating, the first thing you must do is, pay attention to the guidelines. It does not matter if you have pre-written title or description, because directories come with their own set of guidelines, you must follow each one to help increase your submission approvals. This is one of the key reasons to have more than one title and description. Some short and some a bit longer.
The top reason to change your title and description is; search engines will continue to index your website.
More helpful tips:
1) Website completion - I know once you get your website up, you are ready for the world to see. Some of you forgot that you are still building or creating some inner pages and yes it maybe almost complete, excitement taking over, but you must have a completed website before the world can see.
2) Does your website consist of more ads than information? - If the purpose of your website is strictly for ad revenue purposes, this will increase your rejection rate. Don't get me wrong ads on your homepage or inner pages of your website are ok; it's how you place ads throughout your web pages. Lower the number of ads placed on your website and place ads in places that are appealing to your visitors, advertisers and directory editors.
3) Manual Vs Turbo Submission - For me this is a simple answer, manual directory submission. This process will take time, but worth it in the end. To make sure title, description, category, keyword and email are correct; manual submission is the only way to do it. This will help with proper submissions and help increase the approval of directory submissions.
4) Keywords - Do not over stuff your title and description box with keywords. I repeat do not stuff your title and description box with keywords. This will decrease your approvals; the ones who do approve your website just to have links listed, will not have the chance to be indexed. Not only will the directory be frowned upon but, your website listing will too.
Webmasters, add these tips the next time you visit a search engine optimized directory, that holds weight on your websites link popularity. Being indexed is as simple as following directory guidelines. Before you submit make sure you read the rules first.
