A member from the SEO Forum, "URL Direct", has just launched a new Australian directory into the marketplace, called URL Direct. From first impression, the site is very well done, great design, and nice on the eye. The site is navicable, which means even the least web savvy person can find their way around it, which is the end result in all honesty. The directory only lists Australian websites, so please take note of that one.
The directory contains a useful, easy to follow help section, which outlines the submission guidelines and directory rules. The directory advertising within the Australia PC industry magazines, thus opening your site to hundreds of thousands targeted readers.
The directory offers 3 types of submission, being:
- Free Listing,
- Direct Listing (AUD$24.00, Express Review, Place above free listings, Example)
- Homepage Category Sponsor (AUD$30.00 per month, one only)
The directory is clean, fast loading and browser compatible. The URL Direct team provide information and their focus for what the directory is to achieve, being:
Welcome to URL Direct
We at URL Direct are here to help your website grow. Our aim is to expose your website as much as we can. Unlike large directories which accept all types of sites, we decided to produce a smaller directory which focuses on Australian web services. We did this because we feel we know what a good web related site should consist of and we are confident we can list the best sites in that field.
Our Vision
The vision that the URL Direct team has is to grow our directory of quality sites as much as possible. Not only that but in the future we hope to expand our services offering you even more value. We are also constantly thinking up new ideas to advertise the sites listed in our directory and advertising deals with such large organisations such as PC World Magazine reinstates our commitment to you and your site.
The site owner acknowledges that there are still a few bugs and tweaks required, though for the most part, the directory is active and working for its main role. You can read more on the directory from our forum thread, URL Direct Australian Web Services Directory. Overall, I say a damn good directory for an Australian business to be listed.
