10 Free online business directories

Are you looking to generate more traffic to your website? Not getting the quality hits you expect? No money for adwords? Then your best bet is to get your business’s website listed on a number of the good quality free business directories out there. I have my own site listed on these and can guarantee that you’ll get a few hits from these as clearly shown in my google analytics reports.

With every new site I launch I tell my clients of the benefits of getting signing up to and getting listed on these directories. As well as generating a few valuable inbound links to keep Google happy you’ll potentially generate quite a new bit of new traffic and ultimately business. And best of all it’s free and will only take a few minutes of your time setting up your various profiles.

Here is my personal shortlist -

If you have any tried and tested directories then please let me know.
