You probably know there are directories for websites, but did you also know there are directories for Wordpress themes? If you are a Wordpress theme designer, you should know how important Promotion is to make your theme successful and Popular. If many people know your theme, more downloads and more links or sales you can get. This is why you need to use every possible ways to spread your themes.

Submitting your Wordpress themes to the theme directories is one of many ways to promote them.

Directory submission is not just important for websites, they are also important for Wordpress themes. In fact, you can benefit  more from theme directories because people who visit those websites are most likely people who looking to make their website or blog more unique. You will get traffic and backlink benefits from theme directories. If you don’t have the time you can hire someone from Digitalpoint forum to submit your themes to a list of theme directories for next level compared to nothing. Some will submit to Wordpress theme forums for you, so you will get even more exposure for your themes.

It’s important to note some theme directories are heavily spammed and if you submit yours to that kind of directories, they could affect you in terms of search engine rankings. So you have to make sure the directories are quality before submitting and the best way to do this is by clicking on the themes or websites that are already on there. If you see many crappy sites and/or domain holding pages then you should stay away from this directory. Also, you might want to check if the directory is indexed in Google to make sure it’s not banned or penalized. The easiest way to check this is by typing the website’s address in the Google’s search box. If you don’t see the site on the first page then you should avoid this directory. Of course, there are many other ways to check to ensure the quality of a directory site, but unless you have to pay these two ways are good enough for free directories. Happy theme submitting!
