Wonderful Web Directories

Web directories are wonderful resource. They bring qualified traffic, give valuable link backs and exposure to online resources; blogs and web sites. You cant move much without coming across web directories like Yahoo Directory, DMOZ and many more. That is why I say by experiences that a web directory can do wonders for any webmaster and or a blogger. Those who have realized the power of the web directories are already taking advantages by getting more exposure and traffic. Directories help to get you the widest possible number of visitors and expand your name and or brand.

Generally speaking, web directory can be general in nature catering for wide range of categories as well as focused that are meant for specific niche, industry and or geographical location. There are many directories available online. Also there are human edited directories where human review the links before including them. This insures the quality and keeps any directory in line with the goals of the directory. At the same time there are some automated directories where instead of human moderation links may be added by an automated process of categorization and filtering. Directories can also be categorized on the bases of free and paid inclusions.

Given my own perpetual quest for SEO friendly web directory, I explored two directories Jasmine Directory - a business web directory. I submitted an education site in the directory. There are two type of submissions; Express and Standard. I opted for standard package that is free (Express is for $10 per site). One the category page you have useful description of the category as well as the relevant resources. Submission is very simple; on the second page you submit URL and on the third they ask for some additional information like description and keywords and your email. File in the form and you are done.

Standard review entitles you up to deep links, you will have the option to have a detailed listing page, the review of your site takes place on a strict date order, first come first served bases and the listing will appear below all express listings, in a non-emphased display manner. On the other hand in Express review you will pay only once and get listed forever. No annual or monthly recurring fees. The review of your website takes place as a priority, and is usually completed within 24 hours. Your listing will appear above all standard listings in the category. You will have the option to enter 5 additional URL's, as well as a detailed product page.

Experienced editors at Jasmine Directory carefully work to offer rich and reliable information in each field from art and humanities to sopping and e-commerce and a whole lot in between. I suggest you explore the directory, better still submit your sites and command the web.
