Internet Marketing Tools
Submitting to Web page directories is an excellent Web site promotion method and helps with search engine optimization (SEO). Each listing you obtain is a link back to your site. This helps improve your site's rank among the major search engines. It also brings visitors to your site, because many Web surfers use these directories. There hundreds to choose from, and many of them are free.
This page lists some of the more useful sites for internet marketing. I have tested each one and captured the essential features to help you choose those that will work for you. This list is for serious internet marketers. Most of these sites employ anti-spam methods to prevent automated submissions. Plan to spend some time evaluating each one and submitting your site correctly. Sloppy submittals will increase your chance of rejection.
The review gives the Google Page Rank, the size of the directory, ease of use and comments on unusual features.
