8.2 Build links with IBP's semi-automatic submitter

Internet directories and special interest sites are sometimes overlooked by

webmasters because many of them deliver very little traffic. However, Internet

directories offer many benefits to webmasters that are interested in getting more

visitors:

·you'll get visitors directly from the directory

·a listing in an Internet directory also means that you get a permanent backlink

from a related web page

·Search engines will find your website through directory links so that your website is

indexed more often

Usually, the category pages on Internet directories are considered related web pages

if your website fits in the selected category. For example, if you sell shoes then you

have a link from a related web page if your website is listed in the "Shoes" category on

an Internet directory.
