Guidelines for Directories - Practice #2 - Review the Description or Even Rewrite It
Often people who submit links submit the same link to multiple directories. If nearly all of the descriptions appearing for the links in your directory are the same as is found in other directories, your directory will have what is known as "duplicate content". This is something that you can have control over! Rewrite the description. If you have time, actually visit the site and write a sentence or two. Don't just cut and paste. Use your own words. This will go a long way in making your directory unique, and also get more deeply indexed with search engines. And with the release of 3.4, it has never been easier. You can easily update descriptions on the front end of the site, and even update an entire category in just a few minutes.
