Default How soon is too soon to submit to a directory

Hi,

Just wondering your thoughts on the following. I am in the home stretch designing a website. My question is "when is too soon to start submitting the website name to directories". Can I start now even though I am still amassing content for the site and it wont go live for 4 weeks?

thoughts & thx

Tim

When submitting to directories, you have a 30/70 % chances of being approved so is better to have the website ready before you make a move.

A lot of directories are manually edited, so they won't accept "holding pages" or "coming soon" - of course if they have a backlog they might not get to your site until it's live

Never submit a site that appears to be under construction, don't submit if you have any pages that are BLANK or any words on your site such as "Coming Soon" or "Under Construction".

Most directory owners will check your homepage and little more.

But if I were you I'd actually look at building a few high quality links before you go hitting up the directories. Can make a lot of difference to the speed within you'll achieve good rankings
