In an ongoing effort to keep supplying you with new directories here is another one that is UK specific. WURA is a UK Small Business Directory.

WURA is a free directory to list your site, but it does require a back link. The add your site form is quick to fill, and DOES NOT include one of the huge category lists that you always see on other directories. I hate those. There is a variety of categories though, and they even have a dating directory, Dating Directory UK.

One nice little feature that they have with your listing besides the basic description and link, is that it displays your sites PR. It also displays the number of views, and clicks your site has received from the directory. That is something I would love to see from Google. I use Xmarks as a Firefox add-on, and it does offering something like that when searching on Google.

UK sites only please, and take advantage while it’s free. I saw an option in the for where it appears they may be charging soon. Right now the prices is a big fat zero to list your site.

Free UK Job Boards lets you post your vacancies free for thirty days.  This UK based website helps small business owners fill their job positions with out forking out the big dollars like you have to do on most classified sites.

UK Jobs Only

The UK Job Board allows only UK job listings. Any type of job listings are allowed, but the main categories are: Accountancy, Customer Service, Heath Care, Information Technology, and Sales.

After speaking to the owner I found that the site had been around for nearly four years, but with the recent change in economy traffic jumped up. That meant new layout, and actual listings! More people looking, means more people using their search function. Besides having a simple search form, you can also search by selecting the part time, full time, or freelance option.

If you are the employer know that submitting your listing will take about just two minutes. There is no registration required. All you have to do is put in your contact information, details about the job, and your done. It’s a simply one page form, and now would be the time to take advantage of it. That form is currently free to fill out.

Major problem with the site? No web usability experts needed:(

Directories, Websites and Blogs

Looking to submit your site in a business directory? IBizDir is a directory of business across the globe, and also offers a guide with general tips and tools for small business owners.

The Business Guide

The business guide portion of the site offers advice on several categories, but it seems much of its content is for companies doing business online. There is advice for starting a business, marketing, business finance, and taxes. There is also a great deal of information on how to start a website, where to host it, and other pertinent items.

The Business Directory

The directory is a paid listing. Rates are a one time fee with two options: Regular – $39.94, and Featured – $69.91. It’ looks like most are going for the regular listing, and why not. The site is pretty new, so getting seen in your category is still pretty easy. At first appearance, looking at the right sidebar, there is only about 20 categories. Each main category though, has several subcategories totaling to well over 100 categories.

This is a great looking directory, with an added feature compared to most directories, the Business Guide. It even has loan calculators, currency converters, and more. Check it out! I definitely like their cool menu.

Calling all directory submitters…

Here is another directory, Site Promotion. It’s a Search Engine Submission directory. Basically, it’s  a directory of search engine sumission sites and web marketing sites. After submitting your own site, check out the Web Directory Blog. On the blog they have list of both paid and free directories where you can submit to more.

The site also has a search engine submission page where submit your site to 20 search engines. Many sites like this require you to have a back link to their site so I was happy to see it wasn’t mandatory with this site. If you want to submit to more they also have a paid version that submits to 100 search eninges. Addtionally, the site offers two other services in regards to site marketing. They offer a link building service, and SEO services. The owner of this site has run several SEO competitions in the past, and I know he is more than qualified. Submitting to directories can be a drag, but if you don’t tell anyone about your website how is anyone going to find it?

It seems like my last few posts have been about directory on this blog so I decided to go ahead and do another one. I also decided to create a new category just for them. I figure having a nice list of directories is a tool itself for webmasters on their marketing journey of telling the world.

This directory is a Business Product & Services Directory. It’s called LinksLinky. It has a PR4 rating is light on other submissions (so easy to find your site), and offers paid or free listings. A free listing requires a backlink, here is mine: Web Directory Forum. Obviously easy to do, and each listing has its own unique page description with visitor counter. The featured and regular listings are £15.00. Knowing how few listings there are right now, I think you would be fine with a regular listing if you don’t like to have backlinks on your site.

They also have a blog, Links Linky Blogs, but it’s looking a little quite right now.
