If you are looking to promote your website, one way to do that is through Website Directories. Depending on the ranking of the website directory you submit to, it can possibly raise the ranking of your website. Some directories are free and others are paid.

To submit to a website directory simply look through the directory until you find the section you want to submit to. After you fing the appropriate section you will need to find the "add url" button and click on it. On a typical directory, this will bring you to a screen to submit your website for review, so it can be added to the directory. However, directories can differ, and the procedures might vary from directory to directory.

Another alternative to submitting to directories is advertising on the directories. If a web directory has a promotion or advertisment section where you can sign up and promote your website it might be in your best interest to do that. If the directory is in your niche market it can benefit you more than a directory that is not related to your site. Most of the time when you pay to advertise they will promote your website on every page of their site. This can bring in extra website traffic and possibly get you some backlinks with the search engines.
