Chat With Other WebProNews Directory Submitters

Are you into forums? This week, to help get to know you better, and to get acquainted with our directory submitters involved with the WebProNews eBusiness Directory, I have created a thread on the iEntry Directory Portal Forum dedicated solely for this purpose.

The iEntry Directory Portal is a place to get in-the-know about various happenings of the directories within the iEntry network (which includes Directory.WebProNews).

The two questions that I have posted are:

How has the WebProNews eBusiness Directory helped your business’s website(s)?

and

What would you like to see added to the WebProNews eBusiness Directory to help better serve you?

If you have any answers to these questions, please do not hestitate to participate in this thread. I would be happy to answer any questions that you may have.

Twellow Update

Monday, February 9th, 2009

It’s been a while since Twellow, the Twitter people directory has been mentioned here,
so I thought I would update you on some new features that have recently been added:

  • TwellowHood – This feature in Twellow allows users to search for other users by geographical location using a map. This map can be broken down into state, and then onto city, to find users that are closest to you along with a tally of the number of Twitter users in the specific city. This is a great way to find people that you know.
  • Advanced LoginsTwellow now has the ability to track who you are following on Twitter, along with being able to directly follow people from within Twellow itself. Do you see a person that you would like to follow on your Twitter account? No problem! Just click on the Enhanced Features check box when logging into Twellow, and then click on the “Follow” button that is located right under the person’s name that you would like to follow.

This service is great for connecting to people on a B2B platform, and it also is a service of WebProNews. I hope that you enjoy all of the new features that Twellow has to offer.

Ice Storms and Meta Tags

Monday, February 2nd, 2009

You may have seen on the news that this past week, Kentucky (home state of iEntry and WebProNews) suffered an intense ice storm that knocked out the majority of the state’s power, cancelled schools, church services, and work… but not iEntry. We have been here through the thick and thin of this storm making sure that all the services we provide you are covered, especially your directory submissions.

A tip that I would like to share with you to help better your visibility in our quality directory is the use of meta tags in the index file of your website. Prior to submitting your site to us, make sure that you have a name=”description” and content=”(your site descrition)” within your meta tag. This will help me choose the description for your site listing when including it in our directory, thus giving you more control of your directory listing’s content.

If you do not have access to the code of your website, you may want to ask your site’s web administrator to add these to your business’ website(s). This not only helps your visibility in our directory but also in other directories and search engines as well.

If you have any questions regarding the description of your current site listing, meta tags, or any other question about the WebProNews eBusiness Directory, feel free to ask me using our quick-and-easy contact form.
