The whole point of the web is to get your website content connected to the web. Whether you’re writing a blog about awesome gardening tips or fishing hotspots or whatever it is your website contains, nobody will read it if they cannot find it. Any business or nonprofit organization would benefit from taking just an hour or two, and creating or updating your public profiles on directory websites.
The following list includes 52 great places to get your website and your business. Most are free. Some require you to signup. Some cost a little money (or plan to become paid directory sites). You don’t have to pay if you don’t want to as there are plenty of free directory sites.
Every single one of these sites will help you get listed higher in search engines and every single one of these websites has significant traffic. Even if just one new customer finds you, your hour or two was well spent. After that, it’s all gravy!
You certainly don’t have to take the time to get on every one of these sites, but the more effort you put into your business or nonprofit marketing, the more you will see back in sales, donations, mentions, and every other kind of marketing traffic you are looking for to help drive your success.
Even at the very least, by getting your website listed on any of these sites, you will create a quality backlink to your website, which helps improve your website’s page rank and authority around the web. Good luck and have fun getting connected.
