It’s common knowledge that to rank high in the search engines yrequires you to have have other websites link to your site. A common way to get started in link building is to submit your website to link directories. This gives two benefits, first it creates a link to your site, and second the more popular directories send traffic to your site.

Next comes the problem, it take time to submit your website to hundreds of directories, especially if you are trying to type all of the submission information by hand. Then next thing most new webmasters try is to create a text file with all of the submission information on it, and cut and paste this information to the boxes on the submission form. this is a much better solution, decreasing the amount of time spent submitting the website and greatly greatly reducing the likelihood of spelling errors.

However there is still a better way, Mozdev.org has a free plug-in that can be added to the FireFox browser. With this plug-in you add your site information to a profile, and just click on the text that you would like entered into a textbox on the submission form. Create as many choises of link text and meta information as you want and click on the one you want to use for that directory to enter it into the submission form. Now you can submit your site to a directory in just seconds.

Once the information is stored in the profile there is little chance of errors that can cause your site to be rejected. Installing the plug-in only takes a few minutes and adding profiles is simple. This plug-in can be found at InFormEnter.mozdev.org.
