As a novice in online business or blogging, it’s often difficult to get started. Visibility of a site is very important in terms of both search engine optimization and in terms of advertising. Advertising in multiple places could not only seem endlessly time-consuming and expensive, but out of reach for some. However, there is good news for beginners. Directory submission for business solutions… most of you might be familiar with it, but for those who are just beginning it’s the shortest and easiest way to market a product, a website, a blog site. There are numerous web directories and business directories. Now the question is: How would you choose a Business Directory, a Business Resource for your own company website?

Do you need massive campaigning? Do you need paid directories? Do you need well-promoted and high traffic directories? Are there too many links to camouflage your own? Would you organisation or company link stand out? The obvious answer to the obvious questions is that all business directories will definitely not be worth your time, effort or money. Not all directories make dedicated efforts to attract regular visitors, and so it gets even harder to divert visitors to your own site.

    Yes, advertising online needs to be re-thought with the emergence of interactive web 2.0 sites. It is no longer a question of branding but one of being useful in a social and forum sense…responding to problems and queries like: ‘I’ve been thru that. I solved the problem this way.’ Then you effectively brand yourself as a ‘go to person’ or site.

    Very nice article and BizFive seems like a very unique directory.

    Did you forget to mention that Bizfive doesn’t offer free business listings, only paid, or did I miss that? To me, they should offer a free listing (but what the heck do I know?!)

    @ Mark,

    I did not forget, as far as I know, most all established directory have paid listings and the high-end ones have only paid services, I do not find that unusual enough to mention.
