Second Tier Search Directories & Search Engines

There are literally thousands of search engines and directories; you can find a small number listed lower down on this page.

There are also companies that will register you with many of these directories (note that most of the automated-submission systems do not get you into many of these directories!). Here's information about the firm I currently work with for directory registrations.

  • Contact: Nitin Agarwal: [nitin @ wildnettechnologies.com]
  • Include the words Peter Kent’s referral in the message to get a discount rate.
  • 1,000 directories = $250; $200 discount price
  • 2,000 directories = $450; $365 discount price
  • They will send you snap shots of the submission pages so you can verify that the work is done; they will provide a link to the snapshots stored on their site

Here’s what a submission order should look like (you have to provide the information between the [square brackets]):

================================================

Directory Submission Order

CONTACT INFORMATION

Name   [Your Name]

Email  [Your Email Address - DO NOT USE THIS FOR SUBMISSIONS!]

Phone  [Your Phone]

Address  [Your Address]

-------------------------------------

SUBMISSION INFORMATION

Link Text - Please randomly use the below for the link text:

[In here put a list of 10 or 12 different link texts]

Link to This URL: [The URL to link to on the site]

Submission Email: Use a throwaway e-mail address for submissions - DO NOT USE THE EMAIL ADDRESS ABOVE!

Description:      [A short description of the site]

Categories:       [a short list of categories]

Keywords:         [a list of related keywords]


Here are a few second-tier directories you may want to register with.

IMPORTANT: This list is somewhat out of date, and I don't both keeping it up to date now; it makes more sense to use a service, such as the one above, that will manage directory submissions for you.

And a few search engines:

Here's a list of around 168 other directories I recently put together:
