Which web directories should i spend money on?

Question

I have 100 dollars to spend and i have a website about travel.

Answer 1

Hello my friend,

You can actually advertise for free on the internet.  Since you only have $100, I would try this first.

Web directories are OK, but coming up in an internet search is a lot better.

Here is a link to a google search I did for you.

Also, think about consider article marketing.  This is a way to advertise for free as well.  Check out this google search.

Keep in mind that you get what you pay for.  

With only $100 I would invest it in business cards with your website on it.  Also invest in other marketing materials.

The people you know will probably be the best way to get started marketing your business.

They know you and trust you already.  And, who knows they may be ready to take a trip.  You never know unless you ask.

You can also print flyers and ask businesses if you can leave a few on the counter, hang them in laundromats, etc.

Be as creative as you can.

You may want to invest in some knowledge from an expert.  Brian Tracy is an expert in business.  Check out this link.

I own a lot of Brian Tracy programs and they have helped me increase my income substantially (yes, even in this uncertain economy).

I hope this helps.

Hi,

Yes, save your money.

This site http://www.submitexpress.com has a free service for engine submission.

You'll just have to put a link on your website and sign a newsletter. I get the Webpronews newsletter and it's a good one.

Getting into DMOZ is great, but you'll need to have a reasonable/good website.

Don't fall for promisses.

Make searches for "best web directories", "quality directories".

Avoid link farms.

Good luck.

Best regards,

Answer 3

The official Yahoo directory - (not the free side that everyone else uses):

https://ecom.yahoo.com/dir/submit/intro/

Yahoo feeds to excite, altavista, and alltheweb...... so it's a nice deal.  

Best of the Web - the oldest directory on the web - http://botw.org/

You could use Google adwords on the advertising side but you compete with millions of people - http://adwords.google.com

Google feeds AOL in most cases.

Here is an excellent resource as to who powers who in search engines so you know where to spend you money.
