Editor's Note: Directories are a great way to improve link popularity for new sites. See: Reciprocal Links For New Sites

If many other Web sites link to your site, chances are your site is relatively important.

That's how search engines rank Web sites these days. If many quality sites link to your site, then your site has a high "link popularity" - and a high search engine ranking as well. There are two ways of increase your link popularity to improve your search engine ranking.

Two Ways Of Increase Your Link Popularity

1. Search the search engines for complementary sites and request a link exchange. As you probably know, this is very time-consuming unless you use a specialized software program such as the award-winning ARELIS.
   
   
2. Another way to improve the link popularity of your site is to submit your site to industry specific and regional search engines and directories.For example, imagine your site provides fitness and diet tips. Then it'd be a good idea to submit your site to specialized health directories, for example healthweb.com, goodhealthdirectory.com, healthlinks.com or med411.com.
   
   Many of the specialized directories are indexed by the major search engines such as Google, AltaVista and AllTheWeb. For this reason, a link from those directories can improve your link popularity.
   
   In addition, those specialized directories can also bring targeted traffic to your site.But how can you find specialized directories? Fortunately, there are meta directories. These are directories for directories.
