Default How would you categorize our website for directory sites? - 07-12-2006 , 06:23 PM






I am about to start the process of submitting our website to various
directory sites in order to generate more inbound links. The problem is
that our business does not fit neatly into the preset directory
categories (at least, not the ones that I've found so far).

I would be grateful for opinions regarding the best category to be
listed under. Please visit our site at www.pocket-tours.com. As you'll
see, we develop self-guided tours using Pocket PCs. Our target
customers would include museums, historic sites, castles, tourist
attractions, tour operators, etc.

Using the dmoz directory site as an example, we could submit our URL in
a sub-category under Business:Hospitality:Travel, but the
sub-categories include items like "Consulting", "Resources", and
"Software". Although our business touches on each of those areas, we
would really like to see a category like "Tour Development". Perhaps I
am looking under the wrong major headings. Again, any suggestions or
ideas are welcome.

Best Regards,

-- PhilB

It is often a challenge finding the best category for directory
submissions. Everyone's catgegory structure is different. In this case,
you would be better to look in the Recreation/Travel category at dmoz.
Find the best subcategory there. http://dmoz.org/Recreation/Travel/

Hope this helps.
