A great way to get your website out there. Submit it to a selection of the most used directories online. There are loads of directories online that can help raise your business profile and website address. Used well, these can help to drive traffic to your site and increase customer flow. Here we're looking at a few which are all free for the basic service:

Yell.com
Not many people realise that you can list a single line entry in the yellow pages and yell.com for free. Whilst it won't put you at the top of every list, it will help to get your name out there. Even better, free line listings with yell.com now include a link to your website - great stuff! For more information, go to www.yell.com

Google Places
They are the key online search directory, and one that many people run the success of their 'find me' quest. Listing your business, its location, contact details, product information and website with them can help attract visitors both online and in store. Even better, its free to add and update you information. You can even add photos and videos of your products or services to entice potential custom. Visit www.google.com/places for more information.
