There are few things, which are to be watched when you are attempting to do SEO for your site – or if you are a SEO company doing SEO work for your clients.
SEO mostly done for the backlinks – 99% of clients are interested in getting backlinks and nothing else – they actually want link building service in the shape of SEO. Therefore, do take care of one thing.

I have found that some directories and social bookmarking sites – don’t actually link to your site directly – instead of linking to your site directly they tend to use the short URL.
Therefore, if you are attempting to submit to these directories or sites – the link juice will not pass to you as the URL is modified.
So, if you are looking for link building through these sites – your work is simply wasted.
