Post-Thanksgiving Update
By: Chad SweelyFirst of all, I hope that all of you had a wonderful Thanksgiving. iEntry (WebProNews’ publisher) had its Thanksgiving luncheon two days before Thanksgiving Day, so in a way, the iEntry Staff had two Thanksgivings.
There were a lot of websites submitted to our eBusiness Directory during the Thanksgiving break, and I am making it a priority to get all submissions into their respective categories.
With the Christmas season fast approaching, it is the best time to include your business’ website in our directory. Directories are a great way to get your business publicized (along with your Christmas/holiday specials), and you are more than welcome to submit your eBusiness website to our quality, human-edited directory.
Here are a few quick reminders that I would like to share with you prior to your submission:
- Make sure your site is live - There have been a few submissions that I have seen that have not made the cut, because either it is a blank page or the URL does not exist. Chris’ post on ‘Is Your Site Ready for Prime Time?‘ elaborates on this premise in greater detail.
- Meta tags - Please make sure that you have meta tags (including description and/or keywords) within the HTML code of your site. If you do not have access to the code of your business’ website, you may want to ask your website administrator if this can be added if not present.
- Choose your category/subcategory carefully - On the directory’s submit page, please be sure to select the best, narrowed-down category or subcategory that fits your business’ website content. This will help me to promptly place your website in the right area on our directory. If you do not see a category that best fits or describes your business, please contact me, and I will recommend a well-suited category for your website.
Happy Submitting!
