Free Directory Submission Service - once your web site is ready, I'll submit your web site to a large number of free Internet Directories. The directories are important because they provide a link to your web site, which is a large factor in search engine rankings.

I use a Search Engine and Directory Submission Checklist that covers over 50 different factors that help your site with approval and also help your web site rank better in search engines. You're welcome to check it out, print it and ask me about any of the items on it.

Paid Directories Submission Service - these are the most popular directories on the Internet today. Submission to these web sites used to be free, but as they gained popularity they began to charge money for inclusion. Here's why they are worth the investment - the pages in these directories are ranked well within search engines. A link from an important page carries more weight than a link from a page that's not ranked well among search engines. Imagine if Google's homepage linked to your web site. It's one other factor in achieving top ten ranking for your web site.
