Most webmasters know that to rank high in the search engines you need to have other websites link to your site. A common way to get started in link building is to submit your website to 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 works much better, it decreases the amount of time spent submitting the website and greatly reduces the likelihood of spelling errors, which may cause your site to be rejected.
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. You can have many entries for the link text, site description, and other information and choose the one you want to use with just a click. Submitting to a directory now takes only seconds instead of minutes.
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.
