The internet is a vast ocean of unlimited resources. Locating the right information at the right time is an even trickier prospect. It is like the lock and key mechanism where only the perfect key will open the right lock to reveal a treasure trove of information. Search engines help a lot in finding the desired information on the internet. This is done through the use of specific and relevant keywords. Search engines first look up through the list of web directories, then specific web directories of the search topic selected through the keywords and then moves on to check and comb through the website themselves. This is the process through which internet users locate the information required for by them online with the help of websites submitted by web masters and subsequently listed on web directories.
The history and evolution of web directories make an interesting read. In the earlier days, all search function online were done through various web directories. This helped the early users of the internet to search and locate the relevant information and then go through the individual websites and ascertain if they have found the correct information. Web directories functions as a catalog of links, sorted by relevant keywords and topics. Today, popular search engines like Google too look towards directories when it comes to getting the right information in an easy manner.
So why should one list their websites on a web directory is this new age of internet offers a complete search portfolio for the discerning user? Here are some of the reasons why.
- Indexing websites
- One way linking
- Targeted keywords
- Traffic generation
- Free or minimal cost
- Visibility
The key factor here to consider if you are someone who is looking to promote their website is that search engines too are looking at directories when they send out their crawlers or spiders. If one has a website, then it helps to have your website listed and mentioned in directories. This means that when search engines are looking for more links to your websites, they can find this through the listing on web directories. Most of the web directories provide a one way link which is great for the search engine optimization aspect of the website. Search engines pay a lot of attention and hence a lot of importance to the inbound links to the website which is used to rank the website. In these cases, it is important to note that one way links are given a higher ranking that a two way or reciprocal link. Considering this, a listing on web directories can work wonders for the website.

Why Every Business Should Have a Website
By Matt Evers
Every business, no matter how big or how small really should have a website. In this modern day and age, there is no reason not to have one. Let’s explore the reasons why every business should have a website.
The internet is well and truly here to stay. The number of people who use the internet exceeds more than 2.4 billion and there are almost 8 people every single second being added to this total. This is an incredible number of people. As you can imagine there will be people from all walks of life looking for all sorts of things that encompass just about every area of life you can imagine.
If you are a business owner then you absolutely must have your own website. It’s considered unprofessional these days if you do not own a website. How many people do you know go online to look for reviews of a particular company or product before they choose to contact them?
How many of these people decide that they will not contact the company because the company did not actually own a website. Chances are that the company could be illegitimate (in the mind of the person who is looking for the company’s details).
In this modern day and age, having your own website is very easy and low cost to do. Even hosting is very cheap, so now has never been a better time to have your own website name and begin branding your company. It is possible to save on both domain name and hosting, using hosting coupons. One example is through the use of HostGator coupon codes. There are other hosting companies also offering money-saving coupons, so do your research as you choose your domain name and hosting provider.
Why every business should have a website
- With your own website you can “be there” for those who seek out your service online
- With your own website you can showcase all your services
- You can add videos and testimonials to help enhance your service
- You can get a lot more customers and ultimately more company profits
- .. and so much more!
So if you’ve not yet got our own website, don’t you think it’s about time? Are you afraid to get started, worried about all of the technical aspects and let alone the cost? Well, you can get a website for as little as US $100 these days and this often includes a year’s free hosting as well.
These are just some of the reasons why every business should have a website. These days it is an essential “must-have”, rather than an expensive fanciful extra. Maybe it’s time to start looking at one for yourself if you’ve not yet taken that step.
How to put social media on remote control

Many people want to get involved in social media and are concerned that it will take up all of their time. I have a simple solution that allows you to appear online and engaged and yet, really only use a few hours a week to do this. Especially if you only have one brand you are pushing.
Right now I am in production for the television show “The Wright Place TV Show”, Solve It Sisters – web series, Wright Place radio and A Crowd Funded Life radio show.
My three brands, Wright Place TV, Solve it Sisters and A Crowd Funded Life all have their own social media foot print. Then there is my personal footprint. Because of the brands I am handling, I spend a little more time that what I talk about in this article but not much more. You simply can’t be online all day and get any revenue generating work done
The accounts you need
My friend Dr. Rachna Jain keeps me up to date what what’s what. I used to say you only need 3 social media, I have since then updated my numbers.
I highly recommend you have these accounts (they only take minutes to open)
Opening these accounts takes 30 minutes
This is a task that can be delegated
- Twitter (my personal favorite)
- Facebook (everyone lives here)
- Linked in
- Pininterest
- Google Plus
- Rebel Mouse
- Foursquare
Rebel mouse will automatically add your activity to it, there is no need to post there once it’s set up. I send people to https://www.rebelmouse.com/drwright and they can see everything I am doing on each show. They can follow and subscribe.
Sign up for a Hootsuite.com account
Add all your social media to it (at the time of this writing, Rebel Mouse is not an option)
Use Hootsuite to pre plan your social media posts. It posts to all accounts if you want. That’s why even on 5-hour flight to the east coast; I can have a post going out without bothering to get online. Spend 30 minutes a week and you are done.
