Just recently, previous WebProNews eBusiness Directory editor Chris Crum wrote an article on this directory’s parent site (WebProNews) about submitting your software to directories (with the aid of a Q&A session with Google’s SEO guru Matt Cutts). One of the main premises of the article was centered around a question from a person who asked Cutts: “We sell a software product, and there are 100s of software download directories on the web of varying quality. Could submitting our product to all of them hurt our rankings or domain trust/authority?” I have provided the actual video with Cutts below:

Answering this question, Cutts concluded that this will not impact rankings or domain trust/authority. With this being said, I would like to take this opportunity to introduce the Software category within the WebProNews eBusiness Directory to you. This category has various tiers for
your B2B software needs, such as:

• Accounting Software – Browse this selection of resources for software to suit your accounting needs.
• Ad-Serving Software – Programs such as AdJuggler, designed to allow you to serve ads on your website(s).
• Content Management Software – Content management systems like Drupal, Wordpress, and many more.
• CRM (Customer Resource Management) Software – Find all the right tools you need to manage your customer relationships.
• eBooks – Category dedicated to online/digital books.

Just recently, technology giant Microsoft unveiled its latest search project called Bing.com, which is a search engine that brings real-time results to you. With this in mind, the business-related search community is starting to move its searching habits over towards this new search engine. If you want to know more about Bing, various articles can be found at our parent site of WebProNews.

Even though Bing is getting a lot of hype at the present, the WebProNews eBusiness Directory is still a great place for business-related searching, and here two great reasons why:

• Niche Categorization – To help better find what you are looking for, our directory is sorted into various categories and subcategories for better relevance. When you are searching for a business elsewhere, you most likely will have to sort through various pages of sites and information to find what you are really looking for. With our directory, you can find exactly what you are looking with the help of a few clicks within our categories.
• Human Edited – That’s right, the WebProNews eBusiness Directory is 100% edited by a staff member on the other end, which means that any submission that is sent to us is reviewed prior to inclusion in our directory. With this premise, junk/spam sites will not be published, but only quality business websites to help you and your business’ needs. If your business’ website listing needs to be updated, you may contact me via our directory’s contact form, and I will gladly act upon to your request. This is another reason a) why it’s better to go with a human-edited directory, and b) how the WebProNews eBusiness Directory can better the popularity and clientele of your business’ website.

If you have not visited the WebProNews eBusiness Directory in a while, I would like to invite you back and give it a try. We receive up to 80-100 submissions daily, and there is something in this directory for everyone. If you have any questions about our quality directory, please feel free to let me know.

Happy Submitting!

We have had tons of submissions sent to the WebProNews eBusiness Directory as of late, so I thought I would take this opportunity to share some tips on patterns that I have seen with some of these recent submissions to help better your inclusion and appearance in our directory’s listings.

• Revise URL Before Submit – I have seen a few submissions recently where the URL of the site submitted has been misspelled or the domain suffix (e.g. .com, .net, etc.) was not included. For the best matching of your site URL with the site description of your business, please make sure that the URL that you submit to us is correctly entered in the ‘URL’ field of our directory’s submission form and contains everything needed to reach your business’ website.

  

• Is Your Site Live? – There has been a pattern of submissions lately where the URL submitted was either a landing page for the site’s domain or the page has an “Under Construction” message in place of their business’ website. From a business standpoint, if a user is browsing our directory looking for your business’ product, and your site reports that it is under construction and cannot find your product anywhere, most likely that person will move on to your competitor’s site and find what he or she needs there. This is why it is crucial to have your site up-and-running during the time of submission so users can benefit from your site and its products.
• Has Your Site Changed? – If your site has been listed within our directory for a long time, most likely your site listing will need updating since the demographic, products, and design of your site may have changed. If you would like the title and/or description of your site listing changed, I would be glad to help you with the procss. Just simply contact me via our directory’s contact form, or if you have an account on the iEntry Directory Portal Forum, I will help you there as well. Just simply specify the URL of your site listing, along with the title and/or description that you would like visible, and I will promptly update that information for you, along with providing a timely notification of this service rendered.

Your directory listing is important to us, and we want to help you keep your listing maintained and organized in order to help bring future customers to your business’ website through our quality service.

Happy Submitting!
