How do I add a site to the Zeal Directory?
The Zeal directory is for Non-Commercial sites only. They use the same guidelines as the DMOZ directory uses. So pay attention to the guidelines and be sure you submit your site BEFORE you add any monetization links! I strongly suggest you read their guidelines before pursuing. They can be found at: - http://www.zeal.com/guidelines/style/
Again, this is one of those sites that uses editors and can not be used for advertising. When you write your site description be very careful to only include a factual description. The best way to understand the write up methods they will accept is to take the test they offer when you first sign up.
Go to: http://www.zeal.com/ and register. Familiarize yourself with their site and take the test. If you miss any questions analyze carefully why you missed the question. This is the most important thing you can do because when you are ready to add your site you’ll get it right the first time – and win favor with the editor! Why? Because you made his/her job easier!
Here are just a few other Directories you can list in:

There are legitimate wholesalers who will work with and for you to help get the merchandise and support you need in a professional manner. You need to know the facts about wholesale trade, wholesalers and middleman, and finally know the resources to explore in order to get started.Wholesalers exist for the primary reason of moving the goods between the manufacturers and retailers. They normally take care of the logistics and shipment of the goods between the factory and those who sell them.Often wholesalers are the primary distributor for the manufacturer and may have an exclusive relationship with them. The most important fact to realize about most wholesalers is that they do not advertise. You will not find them listed in many search engines, or if they are listed, they are buried deep within the results. In addition, a wholesaler will not normally advertise in any media.Wholesalers are in the business of moving large quantities of the goods to resellers and other retail outlets. Moving small quantities of goods creates overhead for them, as they are n
Some of the Search Engines use the directory contents in their Search Results. Look Smart is one, AOL is another. Yahoo used to use the DMOZ directory as part of its search results. Many lesser known, but active, search engines use directories as the basis for providing information for all of their searches.
Search Engines will see these highly rated inbound links and raise your ranking. They sometimes see these as added credibility for your website. At the very least it creates more ways for people, and search engines, to find you and this means more traffic - for free!
The DMOZ Directory
The DMOZ directory currently has over 590,000 categories and sub categories. However, the main directory itself is made up of only 16 main categories. All other categories fall under these 16 “top level” categories. Think about this – Everything in the known universe is categorized under 16 categories. This might seem impossible but when you look at the DMOZ directory you realize it is true!
The DMOZ directory is maintained by over 64,700 humans who have volunteered their time to help organize what, otherwise, would be utter chaos. Could you pay that payroll every month?
DMOZ has its own built in search function. But the idea is to click your way through a main category going down, sideways, backwards and up and down. Within just a few seconds you should be able to find the category you are looking for and then you are presented with a list of relevant sites.
The beauty of directories is that you get to decided what is relevant NOT the Search Engines. You then click the related link and your search is over. What could be simpler? My only question is why more people don’t use this treasure trove of information.
How to Get Listed In DMOZ
Remember DMOZ is staffed by volunteer editors, which mean it can sometimes take a while to get your site listed. I have listed some simple steps below that should speed up your process. This is the methodology I used to get my sites listed within days – NOT your typical months.
1. First and Foremost find a relevant category that has an editor. When you have found the category in which you would like to be included scroll to the bottom of the page and look for an editors name, or handle. If you find a statement that says “Volunteer to edit this category” it means you have found a category with NO active editor. Thus listing your site here means it could take months to get your site listed.
2. Here is the most important tip I can give you. On the bottom of each category page it will tell you the date that the category was last updated. If the date says January of 2002, for instance, there is a very good chance that no one is going to be updating that page very quickly so move on. Look for a category with a very recent date, which has an editor listed, this illustrates that someone is actively updating that page.
3. You found your category but it doesn’t have an editor, now what do you do? Go back to the top and select the NEXT best category. All DMOZ main categories have what are called “Meta Editors”. These are in charge of several, sometimes hundreds, of sub categories. SO if you can’t find the proper category submit your site to the main category and the Meta Editor will pass it along to the proper sub-category editor. Just remember this will add time to how long it takes to get your site listed.
4. Other tidbit – Did you know you are actually allowed TWO listings within DMOZ? The first listing is “subject” specific. The second listing is “Geographic” specific. To list in this second category drill down through the “Regions” portion of DMOZ. When you find your region (be as specific as you want all the way down to city) and submit your site for inclusion. Just remember tip #1 above. The same applies here.
5. What if you still have no luck? Find the closest category that fits and write the editor a really nice email explaining your dilemma. Most of the editors will write you back, IF YOUR NICE! The editor you wrote to will usually give you some helpful tips or maybe even a contact name to work with to get your site listed. You can find out how to write an editor by clicking on their name at the bottom of the page.
6. Your MOST important tip. Read the category description! Yes read, read the category description very carefully and follow the rules set down. The editor will very often give you tips and hints as to what they want to get from you. If they ask for a 20 word site description DO NOT give them a 25, 30 or 50 word description! If you insist on writing long flowing paragraphs your site will probably NEVER get listed! Why? Because to maintain integrity each editor is required to go read through your site. Bottom line is you are wasting their time by not following the rules – remember these are volunteers that also have other jobs.
7. DMOZ editors do not have conflict of interests. Each editor has to go through a review process where they submit the urls of all of the sites they are associated with. The editor and his associated sites are reviewed and if he is accepted he would be in charge of non-conflicting categories. All editors are currently under review.
8. DMOZ is fair. There isn’t any race to the top of the listings. You can’t buy your way in you can’t purchase paid listings to get listed higher. The sites are even listed in Alphabetical order unless you drill down through the categories.
9. Why go through all of this work? Its worth it because DMOZ supplies its database to over 322 other Search Engines, directories, intranets and databases. For a FREE listing that is a lot of bang for the buck!
10. Volunteer to become an editor. You might have some fun or, at the very least, you will learn a lot about how to market more effectively online. According to the DMOZ administration it doesn’t take a lot of time and could be a lot of fun.

When writing an online resume there are many words that you should try to include, and many that you should avoid. We will go over some of the worst possible words to use in your online resume, so that you can avoid them at all costs.Abbreviations and AcronymsMany job seekers are quick to throw all kinds of abbreviations around thinking that it will make them sound more in tune with the industry. But too many and your online resume will start to look like secret code. Include only those that are widely known, and leave out the rest. If your industry is known for acronyms (like the computer industry) use them sparingly in your online resume.Personal PronounsYes, we understand that your online resume is actually about you, but you shouldn't use personal pronouns like I, me, or my in your writings. Using the word I can get redundant pretty quickly and can leave a recruiter uninterested. Instead, keep it concise and never refer to yourself with a personal pronoun.Negative WordsNegativity is never a good thing when it comes t

Right, I hear you say. But it's true. Nothing is easier than setting up your own online business using a few guided steps from the experts.I had absolutely no idea what I was doing. I used my computer to read e-mails, type up a few spreadsheets and chat. I couldn't even use HTML codes...and still can't. But you don't have to know everything to make a fortune on the internet.I bought the Ultimate Wealth Package thinking "Yeah right. Let's just see how easy this really is." It took a bit longer than a mere few hours for me to receive my free, yes FREE website but once I got it I was up and running. Not only did I receive this FREE website, I also received 'Getting Started' tips and the likes. But I was still not convinced. So I tried it. It's only been 2 weeks and I have to say that I am more than happy with what I received for my money. It was a small price to pay for the rewards I now receive.Read the reviews, make up your own mind.Never be afraid to try something because if you are you will never succeed! Go on, give it a try. You have no

However most business owners are missing the key ingredient: The Law Of Attraction.In this article, Part I, I will give an overview of the Law of Attraction and how it can make all the difference in your success or failure. In future articles, I’ll go into more detail on each step.The Five Steps of the Law of Attraction:1. Be aware of what you don’t want. Believe it or not, it is essential that we all know what we don’t want. Why? Because it helps us identify what we do want. What don’t you want in your life? Make a list and write it down.2. Be aware of what you do want. So after making your list of don’t wants, go back to each item. Write next to it a list of you do want. It’

Price discrimination is the capability of the seller to supply same products at different prices. The prices of the same product might vary during the day period as in case with the ticket prices which are usually higher during the busy hours. The price can also be different when sold at different places. It can also depend on the income of the customer, for example pensioners usually pay less.Price discrimination can be grouped into three categories or types- First-degree discrimination where a firm charges each consumer the maximum they are prepared to pay for the product. This is evident at stalls or street sellers where the customer bargains directly with the seller to bring the price of a product down to one they find acceptable.Second-degree discrimination where the prices charged to consumers vary according to the amount they purchase. This is commonly seen in the concept of bulk buying, when greater quantities bought results in lower prices.Third-degree discrimination operates when consumers are grouped into two or more separate m

Remember these will create Inbound Links for your site and also enhances your site in the eyes of the Search Engines. Will they directly increase your Page Rank – No, but they all add credibility to your site.
Also consider listing in topic specific directories. These can be found at: http://www.isedb.com/html/Web_Directories/Specialty_Directories/
In closing let me leave you with the most important tips in getting listed in the directories.
• Do NOT try to list your site until you have at least 10 Tier 2 pages.
• Do NOT have any commercial links on your site. All of these directories prefer non-commercial sites and if you have a bunch of links on your site pointing out to sales sites they might consider your site a commercial site.
• Always list with the directories BEFORE you start swapping links. Many of the links you may swap with will go to commercial sites affecting your status.
