A proven way to help drive traffic to your website and to improve your rankings with search engines is to submit your site to directories.

Directories are human powered search engines. People who see these listings are invited to click on a link to your site giving you what is commonly referred to as "organic traffic." When you are listed with directories, crawler-based search engines (like Google and Yahoo) will find and list your site sooner. In terms of search engine ranking, a directory listing is an in-bound link, and so will help with position.

Before submitting to any directory write a 25 word (or less) description of your site using two or three key terms for which you hope to be found. The navigation path for submission is not always clear, but most directories follow a similar pattern. Here is what you need to do:

Select the most appropriate category for your site
Find the link that reads: “submit an URL”or "Add Your Site"
Fill out the following form fields:
Your Name
Website Title
Website URL
Website Description
Valid E-mail Address
Relevant Keywords

The directories listed below fit our definition of "free" in that they do not require payment or that a reciprocal link to be posted on your site.
