Choosing the Perfect Directory
Summary
Finding the right directory for listing or research can be daunting. While Yahoo! is a popular choice, there are countless other directories, both broad and specialized. How do you choose the right one? By understanding what you need and following these guidelines.
Key Points for Choosing a Directory
1. Utilize Free Directories
Everyone lists in free directories because it’s risk-free. Popular options include Yahoo! and Dmoz, along with numerous others that either have their own listings or license them. However, if you run a commercial website, consider expanding beyond just free options.
2. Increase Inbound Links
The more directories that list your site, the more inbound links you accumulate, boosting your search engine ranking. Use relevant keywords in your directory descriptions to enhance your visibility.
3. Be Cautious with Free Directories
Some free directories may not be well-indexed by Google or other search engines due to poor optimization. In contrast, paid directories often have better visibility because they invest in optimizing their sites.
4. Invest in Paid Directories
Once you've exhausted free options, explore premium directories. Although there’s a cost, they offer distinct advantages. They tend to be more exclusive and specialized, which can reduce competitor visibility. For niche markets, such as medical equipment, these directories can be invaluable.
5. Focus on Quality Over Quantity
High-quality, specific directories with proven customer traffic can be a smart investment. Seek out directories that specialize in your field or related industries, like scientific equipment if you sell medical equipment.
6. Explore Newer Directories
Consider newer options like MSN's Small Business Directory, which offer targeted searches and additional business tools. These extra resources are often exclusive to paid directories.
By strategically selecting directories, you can maximize your online presence and attract the right audience.
