They ain't Yahoo! but they are Google friendly

For those looking to get some additional online exposure (and Google friendly links), here is a very small list of a few lesser known directories that are Google friendly and are free to submit to.  Some require that you link back to them.

directory.r-tt.com/
A directory that has multiple categories.  They require a link back to them as well as requiring that the linking site be indexed by Google.  Submissions are accepted almost instantaneously.
At Last check - Google page rank of 3 (See a full review of this free directory)

www.exactseek.com/
A search engine and directory.  You are required to subscribe to their newsletter, Site Pro News, which is mostly advertising, however, does have some useful information.
At Last check - Google page rank of 3

www.wikidweb.com/
A wiki driven website with instant submissions.  Since it is wiki driven, anyone can edit your listing, so you might want to keep an eye on this one.
At Last check - Google page rank of 4

www.americasrelocationhomeservices.net/
The site requires that you link back to them, however, the site is very Google friendly and has some quality content.  You can add your site for free to one location, however, if you pay a small fee, there are additional benefits.
At Last check - Google page rank of 3

Keep your eyes on my blog as I plan to submit some more directories.

I hope this helps and good luck.

I will try some of those directories.  The one that others can edit does not seem good.

04/04/2008 12:29 AM by Robert Machado, CPM MPM Sacramento Area Property Manager and Property Management (HomePointe Property Management, CRMC)

Martin~ Good stuff. I will be watching for more follow up on the google stuff. Thanks for all tour hard work and especially for passing it on to us.

04/04/2008 12:32 AM by DOUG FRITCHIE-Silver Legacy Properties,Inc.

Hi Martin - Some of my favorite words - "free" and "Google friendly."  Thanks for the post, and I plan on visiting those sites that I am not already on and signing up. 

04/04/2008 10:41 AM by PTBAC

Hi Martin. Thanks for sharing the great tip! Keep them coming.

04/12/2008 01:10 AM by Vincent Martinez (Prudential Network of Homes)

Martin,

My experience is that link back directories waste more time tan the benefit you get from them.  Strategically placed links give your more juice and better juice.  You can also expect more traffic that you can convert.  And when you really get down to it isn't conversions what it is all about.

Keep on posting! I like the passion behind your writings.

Thanks Martin, I am a real estate attorney in Western MA and I believe that the web is definitely the future for real estate attorneys.  If you google Springfield real estate attorney, my site comes up pretty high on page 1. . .    My goal is to get up there when you google MA Real estate attorney!

04/25/2008 09:39 PM by Nyles Courchesne Massachusetts Real Estate Attorney (Peskin, Courchesne and Allen, P.C.)

Hi Martin.  Thanks for the links.  I am just starting to work on links for my blog so several more is a big help.

04/25/2008 09:45 PM by Pam Dent -Charlottesville, Albemarle,VA horse farms, residential, country homes (Real Estate III)

Thanks for sharing Martin!   I'm down for another few links, if I can get it done in five minutes or less. 

That is one reason we create QECIS.com, so we could add links that would not require links on other web properties.

Quick & Easy solution

04/30/2008 12:54 AM by Robert Machado, CPM MPM Sacramento Area Property Manager and Property Management (HomePointe Property Management, CRMC)

It never hurts to have another quality link.  Thanks for sharing these resources.  You might want to try a FREE link from www.QECIS.com.  It is a PR3
