Directory Submissions Explained
I see a ton of confusion related to link directory submissions and how you actually benefit from submitting to free directories. First of all these backlinks you get will provide very little traffic if any. Submitting to directories helps initially in getting the spiders to crawl your niche store and ensure you get indexed. Secondly by varying your anchor text of the links you are submitting helps slowly increase on how Google and other search engines will start recognizing you for search terms. It is always good to vary this anchor link text amongst 3 or 4 keyword phrases you are targeting ranking for. It is unnatural for a store to continuously show up with backlinks for just one anchor text, so make sure to vary it every 30-40 submissions. Link directory submissions is just one of the many evils needed in starting your climb up the search engines for specific keyword phrases. I hope this clears up some confusion on why you do these.

Was wondering when you submit your new site to directories... Do you use your url for your homepage, your blog posts or your eBay store or a mix of all?
Most directories will only allow homepage links and do not allow DEEP linking, but if you do run into one that DOES allow it, you should take advantage of it.
