Online directory is a medium where people find goods, services and activities.
Which makes it a very valuable online income opportunity.
A directory is like a big library only it's online with different categories for different interests.
An online directory is a very convenient way of searching.
And for advertiser, it's a very excellent way to get to customers.
Directories is a very effective way to get visitors to your site.
Unlike traffic exchange programs, online directories gives a site or blog credibility.
In the sense that when a visitor finds your site or blog through a directory your site or blog is been rated higher than through other means because of their evaluation process before a site or blog is listed or indexed.
Online directories are many, they are free directories and paid directories.
The more directories you submit your site or blog to the higher a sites ranking or rating, which means the higher the amount of visitors or hits.
Submitting your site or blog is one thing, having people click on your links is another.
In order to get the clicks you have to write a very impressive advert to get the clicks.
From my point of view and experience the top five free online directories are: dmoz.
org turnpike.
net/directory.
html webworldindex.
com wikidweb.
com littlewebdirectory.
com Paid directories or Pay per click directories are quite different and a thousand times more effective in getting targeted visitors to your site or blog.
The first thing to consider is to be able to bid on the right keyword.
Finding untapped keywords to develop on.
