Internet Directories Facilitate Getting Found on the Internet

Friday, February 22nd, 2008

So, your SEO expert told you to get your website listed in as many industry-related directories as you can, and you hesitate because it sounds like you will have to spend hours and hours searching.

Not any more! Take a trip to Internet Search Engine Database (ISEdb). Look at the menus on the left: “Free Directories”, “Paid Directories”, “Local and Regional”, “Weblog Directories”, and so on. Yep, ISEdb has done the bulk of the leg work for you!

Action: Take time to understand your choices. Be choosy. Add your website to the directories that are most closely related to your work.

Tip: It is better to be listed in fewer content-related directories than in more “general” directories. Peanutbuttering doesn’t pay with this task.
