There are a good number of people that submit to web directories and have no idea which directories are actually worth paying for an express submission review.  So today I am going to briefly cover this topic. First, let’s be blunt.  Most people that spend money to be listed in a web directory are doing so [...]

One of the easiest ways to build one way links back to your site is with Web Directory submissions.  In this post I am just going to discuss free directory submissions.  Paid directories have their place too, but that’s something I’ll discuss later. There are basically three methods to submit to free web directories.  Those methods [...]

In my portfolio of domain names, I have a few good ones that I just can’t ever see myself parting with.  The reason?  They have a lot of type in traffic.  But I’ have a domain name that someone else has wanted for years, and this post chronicles some of my dealings with this domain name [...]
