Hand-Submission to Top 25 Directories

We offer hand-submissions to leading directories for our clients. Our original list had over 150 search engine friendly directories. With a new directory being released every day it is apparent we must focus on the highest quality ones. This list consists of directories we feel will help drive the most traffic to your site by search engines and direct traffic.

In putting together this list there are several questions taken into account listed below. This is not a list of what it takes to make our top directory list. These are some of the factors that influenced our decision and are listed in no particular order.

• Search Engine Friendly
• Static Text Links
• Age of Directory
• Recent cache of sub-pages
• Inclusion in major Search Engines (Google, Yahoo, MSN)
• Rankings for category specific topics in Search Engines
• Quality of websites listed
• Quality of Back Links
• Keywords allowed in title tag
• Core Mission of Directory
