Directory submission service

Submitting your Website to directories is a good way to build links to your business offerings or affiliate programs. Directory submissions can also get you more organic traffic, although not as good as the popular search engines, they can serve the purpose of increasing your popularity with them. There are also hundreds of free directories to submit your Site, but this can be a tedious and time-consuming task.

So just as the title of this segment suggests, I opted to use a directory
submission service. I am always very leery about using mostly any service that
is offered, especially online. But the thought of submitting to hundreds of
directories made me queasy, so I decided to farm this task out. This was a
decision made after reading about an offering from a company that caters to
directory submission, and after doing some research on best-web-directories.com
I bought a package deal of 150 inclusions for around $37.00.



So far so good, and I am receiving emails from directory publishers notifying me of inclusions into their Sites. This means that something is happening, and that they are indeed carrying through on their offer. Because of the fact that some companies or Individuals do not, I will keep an update posted here on the progress of this submission service, and relay my thoughts and experiences accordingly. In my opinion and after all things considered, a professional directory submission service that gets results at a fair price, is well worth it.

Note: I have chosen the slow submission mode that they offer, so as not to arouse suspicion with the S.E’s that may make me look like a Spam Site.

Viral Marketing & Branding

Some new and improved developments have occurred over the past few weeks. For starters, I have submitted a new news release, in order to keep on top of my link building and community activity. Writing a good Press Release that becomes viral, (popular) and sends you a major amount of targeted traffic, is a great way to market your home business. Many people submit a press release on a regular basis from the knowledge they gain just from experience.

I also came across a good article on viral marketing that has some really good advice and delivers some insightful thoughts on popular methods of branding. Any tool or information you can use is always beneficial. But the real accomplishment, and ways a really good marketer makes money, is usually by expanding on, or improving someone else’s ideas. When you read the following article on viral marketing, you may want to keep this in mind.
