Imagine what this could mean for your sales and cash flow. Yes...this could be somewhat time consuming but is well worth effort. For you will not only harness raw power of directories but also your link popularity will increase. This may result in a better positioning of your site in search engines and even more traffic.

Did I mention in one of my previous articles that there are so many simple yet really surefire ways of getting guaranteed targeted traffic to your website? To get you started here is a list of 7 distinct directory categories:

1. Add your site to DMOZ open directory and it will ultimately appear on partner sites which use open directory data – Google, Hotbot, AOL, DirectHit etc...And getting into some of these sites might just give you a strong nudge in to Yahoo itself. http://dmoz.org/add.html

2. E-book directories

In my last article "Educate Your Way to Success", we discussed how difficult it is to succeed without educating yourself.

Today, we are going to take a look at how important advertising is for your business and how much time you should be spending to give you greatest chance at success.

The need to advertise will never cease but once you have been in business for a while, amount of time you spend will probably decrease. I could go into a lot of reasons but bottom line is longer you are in business, more traffic you will get without as much effort.

So what are some good ways to spend your time advertising?

Most people just starting out are on a very limited budget, so we will look at some of less costly ways to advertise.

First you can look at some of ezines that allow free advertisements. Many allow you to advertise once a month or even once a week.

There are a number of ezine directories that can help you find some of these ezines. Here is my favorite, simply because they make it very easy to find information your are looking for.

Another way to generate some traffic to your site is by start page and surfing sites. These can provide anywhere from a small amount of traffic to a whole lot of traffic.
