Marketing a website can be a bit of a chore, and submitting to directories is one of them. DefiniteWeb.net is a web directory specializing in sites geared for retail.

If you are one whom does submit to directories, now is the time. This Internet Resources & Directory is still fairly new, and the listings are few and far between. This meaning, your site can still easily get spotted, and is not buried by the mass numbers of other listings. You may submit your link for free if you offer a reciprocal link, but may also pay for a more premier position.

As a visitor to the directory, listings offer a brief description, PR rank display, and additionally offer a more detailed listing with a unique page about the item solely. The top right menu has links to top and new listings

Simple directory, currently in good standings with Gee Men, and easy to submit your site.

Liking the logo Mr. Ozami. Ozami.com is another directory site that takes paid submissions. I prefer free directory listings, but having your keywords in a quality directory can always give you a little help in the search rankings. It’s for sure better than just buying text links from a random site.

Ozami is a basic Internet Guide & Directory. Being a paid directory it’s banner ad free, and with exception to the home page apears to really have no paid ads at all. Checking out my site you can guess how I feel about splattering your site with ads. Note to webmasters, you can make money with your website without ads on your site. My experience is that if you want to make money with your site, figure out another way than making a nickel per thousand visitors with stupid ads. You might make a little bit more than a nickel, but really, a thousand visitors and you only made $10? My best site make more than 25 cents a visitor, and add free. It’s not as hard as you think.

Back to Ozami though, they did offer a free way to submit your site. It may take a little longer to get listed, but could be worth the wait. The site also had a blog, Shopping Product Services Blogs, which unfortunately seemed a little off topic for me. The site is well ranked and indexed on  Google, but it gets over 15,000 daily visitors so you should be getting some traffic out of them.

For those of you that are into the “green” thing, I am sure many of you have heard of Google’s Blackle. It’s basically Google, but it uses a black background instead. Why would you use Blackle? It saves energy. Not lighting up all those pixels may not really save your personal power bill, but if used by millions of persons, it can make a difference environmentally.

Visiting this Organic & Ethical Directory got me to thinking about Blackle. What if Blackle only showed results of sites that were also green, or sold green products/services? The ethical directory only lists sites that are: natural, organic, ethical, fair trade, and environment friendly products and services. It might be a bit of a stretch for Google’s algorithm, but it could possibly filter out some of the bad guys like a chlorine plant or something. I guess this is why directories still play an important roll. Some things just need the human mind to do the work.

The ethical directory also had a blog, Ethical Directory Blogs, reporting newsworthy environmental issues going on on it the UK.
