What is the procedure based on?
Today, many Internet users do not know what catalogs are for. When you want to find something, for example, a car service in your area, you simply search for it, and if your browser is personalized, then in the search results you get the address of the nearest one, reviews of other Internet users, average waiting time for service, photos, and more other things. But it was not so easy before.
Search engines pointed to very strange sites when you tried to find some local service. A few years ago, when someone wanted to find a car service, he had to enter the website directory. This was a site with a set of links.
Impact on SEO promotion
But at that time, adding a page to catalogs also had one more very important advantage, besides the fact that someone could find a service for themselves in this way. At the time, when search engines were not exceptionally smart, there was such a thing as SEO cataloging.
- Adding a page to directories led to the fact that its ranking in search engines such as Google increased very quickly, so searching for something through Google can be very fast.
- SEO (English Search Engine Optimization) is the creation of a point value for a web search, with the help of which the search engine will place it much higher than before in the search results.
- A few years ago, this was the most popular, often the only way SEO was performed for a specific site.
Adding a page to directories already gave it many advantages at launch and made it rank higher and higher in the list of results. The more catalogs, the higher the page.
The technology is developing very quickly, many improved algorithms and many new technologies are introduced every hour. Recent years are the development of machine learning and artificial intelligence. Unfortunately, today everything is not so simple. The development of algorithms that rank pages has advanced so far that adding a page to directories today can lower this rating, not increase it.
