Directory Listings

There are many great Directories on the Internet that will give you listings for free. Some will charge you a small amount of money if you would like your website listed quickly or they may ask for a small donation.

The secret here is to look for the directories that will pass some Google pagerank back to your site.

A good starting point is http://www.best-web-directories.com/free-directories.htm

Adopt the motto, little and often, as there would be nothing worse than the search engines picking up thousands of links to a new site all at once as they could think that the owner is trying to manipulate the rankings. If you steadily add the incoming links and also create dynamic content on your website, perhaps one page of text (200-300words) that would benefit your rankings over time. Create some relevant articles so that other website owners will link to you naturally just so that their customers can have the benefit of any expertise that you have.

Some Directories have been listed below to give you a head start in the optimisation of your web pages.
