Directory Page Rank Cost

In the early days of the Internet, directories were a useful resource to find relevant websites. However, with advancements in search technology, search engines are these days far better suited to returning relevant results to your search phrase.

Directories still have their purpose. Getting listed in a directory with high Google Page Rank (PR) is an easy step to promoting a website.

Link Directory

Sponsor This Company is effectively a link directory. For a minimum sponsorship fee a company or website can be listed in the directory.

Links and Search Engines
The benefit of getting listed in the fully search engine indexed directory is improved search engine rankings in the likes of Google and Yahoo. The number of websites linking to your website effectively acts as a vote of confidence for your website and content. The more relevant the links the better. This is a science in itself known as Search Engine Optimisation (SEO).

With an initial low sponsorship fee it is hoped that companies will be encouraged to sign up as at the very least listed websites will benefit from inbound links.

The Bigger Picture
What makes the directory unique from any other is its purpose. Firstly it is a vehicle for raising finance for the one man, start up company that is this company.

If the idea to Sponsor This Company catches the imagination, then the benefits of listing in the directory will be pure advertising exposure from the throughput of visitors to the website. All sponsors are rotated in turn on the homepage with details of the biggest contributors, most recent additions as well as a sponsorship target all detailed.

The Link Directory
The directory is structured in a similar way to the Google Directory with categories such as Travel, Finance and Shopping.

Accountant Directory

Find UK Accountant is a directory of accountancy firms in the UK organised by county and town.

Accountants may sign up to the service to get their contact details listed in the directory. As well as contact details, accountants may detail further information about the particular services offered such as audit, tax, bookkeeping, personal tax, tax planning and accounts preparation amongst others.

Google maps are also incorporated to highlight office locations. Popular locations are naturally driven by population density with London, Birmingham and Bristol being the cities in the directory that currently have the most accountancy firms registered.

The accountants listed in the directory are members of various accounting bodies including the Institute of Chartered Accountants England and Wales (ICAEW), Association of Chartered Certified Accountants (ACCA) and Institute of Chartered Accountants of Scotland (ICAS).
