Strongest Links says: Links are the most fundamental building blocks of the Internet. Having Links pointing to your site is what makes your site visible. Links are your site's lifeline, the primary route by which users will find and visit it. Search Engines like Google, Altavista and Fast use Links to find and index your site, and will determine its popularity by the number of Links to it. Increasing the number of Links is by far the most important, productive and time consuming marketing activity.

How do your price your service?
Actually, our prices are better than competitive ... we offer an excellent service for a very reasonable price. Check out some of our competition.

We charge from $6 to $5 per submission. That price includes working with you to determine the best keywords, descriptions and titles.
Do you use submission software?

This directory submission service, Beyond the Search Engines!, does not use submission software. 

Absolutely every submission is made by hand, and there's an excellent reason for that.  The best directories are human edited and absolutely require that the submissions are made according to their individual submission requirements. Listings submitted by software to these directories will simply be discarded.

This is why submitting to directories is often time consuming and for some people difficult. They often have confusing categories and sub-categories that may be difficult for a person to understand. Because they receive a large quantity of submissions, directories can be selective and so it pays to get it right the first time.
    
Another reason that our directory service is a bit more expensive is that each and every directory has been researched and has gone through our own "human edited" criteria.  We submit only to serious directories that promote legitimate businesses.

What's the difference between search engines and directories?
Search engines use computer generated methods such as web crawlers for indexing sites, directories are indexed by humans who actually review sites for quality and content. 
How do special directories benefit me?
You get the most targeted traffic you can dream of. It is very important that you list your site in the correct directories. For example, if you are offering a product for single men you should list your site in the dating directories . If you list your site in any other directories which are not related to your subject, you may not be listed at all, or even if you get a listing it will not do you any good since it is not your targeted niche.

How do I know that people are actually using the directories that you submit my site too?
That's very easy to answer.  The amount of traffic to your site will increase.
Do you have your own directories?
Many directory services have a long, long list of directories that are all owned by the service.  They may say that they are submitting your site to 30, or 40 or 150 directories but there is only one submission made and it goes to only their directories.  This is not an effective system.

Your site should appear in as many uniquely owned directories as possible to get you information the widest visibility.
Do you guarantee that my site will be accepted into each directory to which it is submitted?
Unfortunately there are not such guarantees.  Each directory listing is edited by a human on the other end. Usually, if a listing is not accepted the directory will let us know why not and we can make the necessary corrections and changes to get your site included in the directory.
Who's getting the traffic?
Of the search engines Google, Yahoo! and MSN, combined, get 90.75% of the traffic.  Services that say they will submit your site to hundreds of search engines are simply a waste of time. Being listed with the top three search engines is all you need.
We list each client, free of charge, with the DMoz Open Directory Project.
  In addition to literally hundreds of other directories AOL Search, Alta Vista, HotBot, Google, Lycos and Netscape Search all draw their search data from DMoz.
 
  What is the best way to build links?
  Link Building is Hard Work.  There is no free lunch when it comes to link building. With the possible exception of purchasing links, accumulating and managing an aggressive linking campaign is continuous hard work. However, experience has shown that if you want to place well in the Search Engine Return Pages for competitive search terms you really have no other choice. Read More
 
  Do the links inside my own site count?
  They sure do.  But there is a method to making them work. Read More.
 
  How is PageRank calculated?
  Well, that's more or less a mystery.  But there are some people that have some pretty good ideas on how it's done. Read More.
 
What is a Free for All Links Page?
First off - it's not a place you want your site to be listed. It's a page on someone's site that anyone can add a link to.  Usually the site has nothing to do with your business.  Google does not like these links and will devalue your site when you use them.
