Here are  ways that a site can achieve increased link popularity: Directory Submissions – Submit to the Open Directory and other sites like JoeAnt and Gimpsy. These are all human reviewed directories, therefore search engines will consider that your site must be of pretty good quality to be listed in them. Submission to these sites is free, but there can be quite a wait to get reviewed, since editors are unpaid volunteers. In addition to a link popularity boost, a listing in Open Directory will get your site listed in the other Open Directory powered sites like Google’s web Directory, AOL’s web directory and many others. Tips For Directory Submissions: Editor Check – Is there an editor for your desired category? If not, consider applying. For Open Directory, this can give you the power to add your site much more quickly. Link Title – Don’t try any tricks to get keywords in your title if they are not in your company name. This will get your listing edited if the listing is approved or rejected outright. The title must be your official website or company name. Description – Again, don’t try to insert extra keywords here, it could backfire and your description will be edited or…

Give your visitors at least 3 order links (e.g. 1/3rd of the way down your page, 2/3rds the way down, and at the bottom).

However, did you know that no matter what your social media experience, that you can optimize your social networking profiles so that more people can find you? Just as if you were doing search engine optimization for your website, the first thing you must do to optimize your social media networks is to research.
