If you've been marketing your dental website for any length of time, you've probably thought about submitting your site to directories.
You can gain a lot of link value, especially in the beginning, by using directories. However, it pays to be careful about what sites you submit to. Some websites are called "link farms" because they are directories of tens of thousands of sites without really giving any value. Google can sometimes penalize websites for doing this.
If you're not having DentalMatrix do your SEO, then make sure that you submit to relevant directories related to health, dentistry, orthodontics, etc. This will help keep your site healthier in terms of its backlinks.
