The Disappearing SEO Directories

"Where Are All The Great SEO Directories Disappearing To?"

Between you and me I am spammed out. I have just spent the better part of the evening looking for great places to promote my site. Even some of the best places that looked good to me have turned up missing all of a sudden. There are a lot of great SEO directories popping up MIA.

What gives?

Where oh where can you promote your site these days? You better break out a pen and paper and start creating a great directory for yourself. These places are coming and going and you want to take note of where your site is being listed.

What is the Problem With Free Directories?
A lot of directories have good intentions but no cash coming in. This means that a lot of them are destined to become cyberdust in a few months. This can be bad news for you.

Another problem is that a lot of them do not have people to manually post the entries. They are always looking for editors who want to do this job.. in some cases for free. This can be very advantageous for you to take this on. But between your blogging and podcasting and updating your web pages do you have the time?

Paid Directories Cost.... eeeek MONEY!??
Some paid directories are worth the money. This is particulary true with niche markets and industry specific markets. This definately holds true for even other SEO people out there. It not only gives your site a nod to the search engines but also lends credibility.

The game keeps changing. Be prepared.
