Directory Web Site Submission
Simply a "Must!"

The directory web site submission process is essential to marketing your website, building visibility, credibility and your reputation on the internet.

Listing your website with both the "big" directories as well as with small niche related directories is vitally important for building valuable back links and search engine recognition.

• List with those with a page rank of 3 or higher
• Make sure that the directory doesn't use the "no follow" attribute on the links submitted (Take a quick peek at "view source" to learn this information)
• Avoid those that require you to sign-up for a ream of newsletters (or your inbox will be inundated in no time!)
• Looks matter: If the site looks cheesy or ill-kept, pass.
• Size does matter: If the site only shows a handful of listing in each category, pass.
• Be patient. It can take months (and sometimes never) for some directories to list your site for "free".
  
  

• Listing your website with directories certainly reinforces the adage, "You do get what you pay for."
• As with any premium service, your submission receives attention- fast!
• Usually you will find that paid directories offer a good page rank along with delivering a fair amount of consistent traffic to your site demonstrating that your investment is worthwhile!
  
  
  

My favorite paid directory is Best of the Web.
It is the oldest, most respected directory on the internet.
They charge $99.95 for 1 year or $299 lifetime listing fee.
(The lifetime is by far the best deal and well worth the expense.)
