In my support inbox this past week, I received an e-mail from a prospective WebProNews eBusiness Directory submitter who wanted to know what the benefits of being included in our directory are. With this in mind, I thought it would be informative to share with you what the various benefits of being included in our directory are:

1. Part of WebProNews – Being listed in our directory, you are a part of WebProNews and have contributed a part of your interest to us. This also comes with bragging rights with having your website listed on a WebProNews page, especially because it is a very reputable and content-rich eBusiness and Search news site.
2. A Backlink From Us – From an SEO standpoint, backlinks help to get your business’ website more visible on search engine results and help improve your ranking. With this premise, you are more than welcome to have a backlink from us, and we would be glad to be a part of your SEO improvements and experiences.
   (Speaking of SEO, have you checked out our directory’s Search category? It is filled with a vast and unique amount of SEO-related resources.)
3. Being Listed In a High-Quality Directory – Since our directory is a counterpart of the highly-trafficked website WebProNews, it gets a lot of traffic from various web surfers browsing for resources for their business. Having your business’ website listed within our categories exposes your business to this traffic to help increase the clientele of your business and also to form business relationships with other members and non-members of this great foundation of resources.
4. Human-Edited – Yes, our directory is completely moderated by a human being, meaning that there are no robots rejecting quality sites that don’t meet their picky criteria. All site listings are reviewed and then categorized into the best niche that fits your website’s target audience.

Taking all of the information listed above into consideration, why not submit to this quality directory? Submission to this directory and inclusion is completely free of charge to you.

Happy Submitting!

In this day in age, we are living in a wireless revolution where everywhere you turn, there is someone either on a cell phone, connecting to the web wirelessly from a laptop, or sending e-mail from a BlackBerry/iPhone. With this in mind, I would like to direct your attention to the WebProNews eBusiness Directory’s category of Mobile Computing.

With the iPhone and BlackBerry dominating how the business world and how eBusiness are being used, this category also provides many resources to help enhance how your business-to-customer interaction is managed.

If you have a mobile computing-related site that you would like to see included in our directory’s listings, I encourage you to submit your site using our quick-and-easy submission form. Inclusion in our directory is completely free, and you do not need to submit any information other than your e-mail (for notification of its inclusion), URL, the category (Mobile Computing), and a thumbnail image that helps represent the visual aspect of your mobile computing-related site.

To give you an idea of the sites that we would be glad to have included in this category, I have provided a list below:

• iPhone/BlackBerry application-related websites that are beneficial to your business and will help your business grow.
• Blogs on how mobile computing has impacted your business.
• Equipment and/or accessories for your mobile device and to help its connectivity.

Happy Submitting!

This past week, a WebProNews eBusiness Directory user asked me for ways to enhance the appearance and visibility of their listing and also asked if I could share them. With this in mind, I would like to dedicate this edition’s content solely to ways in improving the look of your site listing.

• Have Meta Tags – When designing your business’ website, please make sure that you have meta tags (description and/or keywords) in the head of your HTML code. These items help your listings get better results not just in our directory, but other search engines as well. This will also let us know what the focus of your website is, especially if you do not have a description of your business anywhere on the site itself. If you do not have access to edit your business’ website code, please ask your webmaster to see if these can be added.
• Include An Image – To give other directory users a taste of the design/logo of your business’ website, our directory has the functionality to add a small thumbnail image to help represent the visual eye-candy of your website. This can be done straight from our directory’s submission page when you submit your site to us. The guidelines for our acceptable images are: a) Dimensions of 50×50 pixels, and b) filetypes of .jpg, .gif, or .png. Please also make your image legible for other viewers to see.
• Ask Support – If you have not seen your business’ website’s listing listing in a while and have just recently reviewed it and want it to be changed, the WebProNews eBusiness Directory staff are ready and waiting to help you modify the look of your site listing. All that you have to do is to visit our contact page and specify the changes that you would like made to your site listing, and we will promptly change it for you. We can also add an image to your site listing if you so desire.

Happy Surfing!
