Free South African Link Directories

As with many other aspects of Search Engine Optimization (SEO), link building is of utmost importance. So how do you go about building links?

Well one of the most simple ways is to submit your website to free link directories. Link directories allow you to list your website title, URL, description and sometimes related keywords or tags. Some directories require a reciprocal link, while others are completely free one way links.

Are links really that important? You bet they are!

Google absolutely loves links. The more quality inbound links you have the better your ranking. Especially if the links you are getting are from sources that have relevant content to your own. Try and get as many one-way links to your site as possible and remember to include your keywords in the link anchor text.

For the fellow South Africans out there:

I have decided to build a list of all of the free South African directories. I will be updating this post continually as I discover more.
