WebProNews Directory Submission Housekeeping Tips
By: Chad SweelyWe 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!

Using the search function brings up web sites which are listed in the directory but it does not display what category they are in… This is a function that your search feature should include.. This helps people see how well the listings are placed within the categories and also helps you find listings which may have already been submitted and where they are in the directory….
