Decent web directories that you can submit your sites to are getting pretty rare. Either they want a couple hundred dollars for each submission or what they have to offer for free is worthless. Sometimes listing your links at these sites can actually be harmful to your rankings instead of helpful. If you’re looking for a free web directory, you should look at Dirmania.

DirMania is a business web directory that provides free website advertising. The site has a PR 3, if you care about that kind of stuff and offers a direct link to your small or medium sized business/website. The directory is organized by categories and is very search engine friendly. Your listing can go live in less than 24 hours if you meet the listing requirements. (Not hard to do if you don’t try keyword stuffing or other lame 2002 tricks.) Be sure and provide a good, human friendly description of your site with appropriate keywords and a catchy title and you’re in.

The submission form has all the instructions and advice you need to determine if your submission is quality or not. Think common sense. Make sure you are submitting your link in the most relevant category to its content and make sure that the content is offering something useful to the visitor. It is, isn’t it? Then you’re good – otherwise, anything that is submitted to a blatantly wrong category or is nothing but spam will be removed from the directory.

Play by the rules and scoop up some link love. We all need it.

Is technology on a downturn?

“Why yes, Bob. We expect Americans to turn away from technology within the next week and all major world countries to follow soon after. Meanwhile, look for a sharp upturn in the recycling sector as 30 billion people hasten to rid themselves of high tech appliances.”

If you thought the title to this post was some kind of wordplay, think again. Configure One’s Concept Product Configurator Software is exactly as it sounds – a product configuration software. Now let’s get to what that means.

The Configurator Software was designed for manufacturers that produce highly configurable or customized products to meet unique customer needs. So basically, it makes it easier and more cost efficient for manufacturing companies to provide mass customization on orders.

The software can also be used to automate sales and engineering tasks, decrease errors, simplify complex product configurations and more. By implementing Configure One’s scalable stand alone or web-based configurator solution, manufacturing companies regardless of size or industry, can make the entire process of customization less painful. They can also quickly recoup the cost outlay of the software with an estimated 18 months.

That’s good business.
