Introducing SmallBizDirectories.com - Help Me Grow This Thing, Gotta Directory?

Hi guys,

Thought I'd make a quick mention of the new directory website that I have JUST started working on. This is something that I feel like ALL OF US could use at one point or another when helping our clients with their online presence.

In short, I needed a reason to play around with DirectoryPress, and I noticed a distinct NEED for website like this. A site that is extremely comprehensive and ever-evolving. The popular business citation resources out there have become pretty stagnant lately I've discovered through my own research. AND New directories/AWESOME potential business citation sources are popping up and growing locally every single day. Many of these local and/or industry-specific directories are probably operated by fellow Warriors.

I literally have just started this project, so it is quite ROUGH right now.

Now, onto the main point of this post:

IF ANY OF YOU WARRIORS OUT THERE HAVE A GEOGRAPHIC-SPECIFIC AND/OR INDUSTRY-SPECIFIC ONLINE DIRECTORY OR A COMMUNITY PORTAL LET ME KNOW AND I WILL ADD YOUR DIRECTORY TO THE APPROPRIATE SECTIONS!

I figure this site could very well become a popular resource for local consultants, seo's, and business owners....potentially generating a lot of exposure and people interested in signing up to YOUR local directory.

I will be moderating all of the directories submitted to ensure accuracy and quality. (which is why I will inevitably probably have to charge a $xx/yearly fee to list your directory down the road. get in free now you're good forever) At this point I can include your directory even if you're just starting it up and what not. I'd just like to emphasize "quality" here folks, and avoid any obvious scraper sites or spammy classifieds, etc. This directory is intended to be QUALITY and RELIABLE

NOTE: I'm currently working on populating the categories with citation sources (may add some more categories and change some categories around) in their appropriate places. I've got hundreds of thousands of potential directories at this point that I'm combing through.

For simplicity sake and for quick reference, I have included a "MAJOR DIRECTORY LIST" page that will include all of the BIG CITATION SOURCES that are truly a MUST. These are really the generic all-encompassing internet yellow pages sites and their clones, lookalikes, and wannabes.

MAJOR WORK IN PROGRESS!

LET ME KNOW WHAT I'M MISSING! (though I might have it just not posted yet, i'M trying to get a few thousand from my list categorized on the site ASAP this weekend!)
