The Best Web Directories

Submitting your site to the directories on the lists published by Best Web Directories will increase your pagerank and visibility on the web. They list both free directories and paid directories as there are advantages to both. You may be thinking 'Why would I submit to a paid directory when there are free ones that look much the same?' This is understandable, but there are usually advantages to submitting to paid directories. They are generally much more established and have higher page rank. They will probably bring you more traffic and a higher position in SERPs. It takes time to submit to hundreds of free directories, but a paid link may be worth as much as 50 or 100 of these free ones.

Finding me in the Search Engines

A friend at work was Googleing for me the other day and he said he couldn't find my blog on the internet. I have found a website that will help me get listed in Google, and it could help you too if you have a blog or website.
Internet Search Engines FAQ is the home of some geeky SEO (Search Engine Optimization) guys who know all about how to get your website on the first page of Google. The first thing I have to do is list my site in some blog directories and web directories.
Although I said SEO was geeky, I actually find it quite interesting - it is a bit like doing a rubiks cube or something. Good brain exercise.

Searching, Searching...

Sometimes google sucks. The results for so many things are random and just wrong. That's when you need a good web directory like the Cheetah Find Web Directory.
Cheetah Find has comprehensive categories (over 200) with an integrated search tool. The great thing about it is that it doesn't just spider the web sucking in everything like google does, it only lists proper websites so that you get the good stuff that you are looking for.
Cheetah Find has some pretty good looking free web templates too, I need a template for this blog so maybe I will use one of theirs when I get time to get it done.
