Let me start by asking a simple question. As a manufacturer, what would you like to be your USP? What is it that you think would actually sell and add on revenues? Even an amateur would say minimum turn around time / cycle time, greater product variety and quality and the most economical output. However, this least complicated answer in turn puts forth the most difficult task to accomplish. If I could achieve the stated the competition would certainly be curbed, profits would soar and the expansion plans would
You’ve probably already thought of Google, and rightfully so. It’s the top search engine, so you want to make sure you’re a part of it. You may have also done some search engine optimization, and tweaked your site in certain ways so that Google will index you better. That’s a good start, but it’s also where many people go wrong.
The search engine marketing community often discusses this faux pas: people become obsessed with ranking on Google, and forget that there’s so much more to the Internet, so many more places where you can be found. It’s back to common sense again: don’t put all your eggs in one basket. Here are some reasons why:
- People use multiple search engines.
According to Nielsen//NetRatings, 58% of the people who search on Google also use another search engine. The same is true for 70% of MSN searchers, and 71% of Yahoo searchers. If consumers are looking for information in several places, it only makes sense for you to be in as many of those places as you can.
- Google indexes your web directory listings.
Ironically, when you work to broaden your horizons beyond the Google universe, you’re also working to improve your chances of showing up on Google. That’s because when a major search engine indexes the Internet, it also indexes the content of other directories.
Here’s the best part: if you can get listed in a web directory that provides search-engine-friendly one-way-links (that is, links that connect directly to your URL), you are essentially acquiring a “vote” to your site, and therefore improving your site’s authority in the eyes of Google, Yahoo and other major engines.
There are thousands upon thousands of Internet directories where you can list your site. Some will charge for submission, and the price will vary, from as little a few dollars, to as much as hundreds. Some will accept your site right away, and others will need to review it, to ensure the integrity of their database.

We all know America has a deep, almost problematic, obsession with reality television shows these days. I don’t know about you, but I know I spend a good part of my day discussing how trashy and just straight out dumb all reality television is, but at the end of the conversation I always say, “Well, I can’t lie though, I’m a huge sucker for reality shows.” My favorite might have to be the makeover shows, whether they make over a person, house, culinary dish or whatever, I love to see how amazing an object or pe

I get calls every week from lawyers saying they’re not getting calls anymore from yellow page advertising. Having done quite well in the past, they're afraid to discontinue the advertising. They want to know what's going on and what to do.Apparently, lawyers are not the only ones. In his article "Quit wasting money on Yellow Page advertising" by Peter Fernandez, D.C., a yellow page, print advertising and practice management consultant for chiropractors, Dr. Fernandez answers the question, "Why has advert

ChairmanChalr? Recruitment OutsourcingA couple of months ago, IBM announced that it was purchasing a 9,000-person call center named Daksh with operations in India and the Philippines. The acquisition is interesting for two reasons. First, IBM previously had no significant call center capacity and with this one purchase has become a major player in the booming offshore industry. Second, the price IBM paid was considered by most people to be irrationally exuberant. According to inv
Common sense applies again here: the goal is to get listed in as many directories as you can, so you get maximum exposure. But web directory submission can be very time consuming, so you have to be selective to maximize your productivity. Here are a few things you’ll want to keep in mind:
- If the price seems too high, it’s probably not worth it. If you have a little money to invest, it’s a good idea to get into some of the paid inclusion directories. Pick and choose from some of the mid-level ones, and try to diversify your presence by picking some foreign directories, as well as some local ones. Some directories also offer special inclusion, where you pay a premium to get listed quicker. It’s definitely worth it if you’re looking to improve your traffic as quickly as possible.
- Before submitting to any web directory, check to make sure the directory is not banned by Google. Here’s a handy site, where you can type in the URL of the web directory and find out if it’s banned right away: http://123promotion.co.uk/tools/googlebanned.php
- Be prepared before you start submitting. Write a few descriptions for your website in different lengths (50 words, 100 words, 200 words), so you can just copy and paste when you’re submitting. This is guaranteed to save you a lot of time.
- If you don’t want to spend a lot of time searching for, picking and choosing directories, start at this page, which provides a great list of the top search-engine-friendly directories on the web: http://www.eliteweb.cc/directory/internet/web_directories
- If you don’t have a lot of time to devote to this, don’t worry about doing it all in one shot. Bookmark the link above, and take a few minutes every day to do one or two directory submissions, until you make it through the list.
Good luck, and happy submitting.
