Hi all, I need advice on what catagory do I put my forum under, in directories we have just started it and I wish to get back links and advertise the site Now my forum people can show their services, eg SEO, programmers ect so it would go under webmasters catagory. Webmasters can sell their site advertisements, under their catagory, but I am trying to aim it that small business's will buy the advertisements. So catagory could be webmasters or Business. Business's can also look for sales agents, so it would go under business catagory. So I need to put my forum under webmasters (or nearest catagory to it) and business catagory. Do directories, let sites, register under two different catagories Thanks
Most directories do not allow for multiple category submissions so submit it to the most relevant. If that is the webmasters forum then submit it there. Good directories will edit the submission to ensure it is properly placed.
Some do but most don't. Submit your site to the most relevant category and then try submitting it to a second category. If it's not allowed you'll find out.
If i submitted the site under two catagories, hoping that they leave it in the two, could I get banned from the directory?
Not You, Your IP Might be. Mostly directories doesnt accepts the domain again which is already submitted, so there is no question of submittion to multiple categories in them. However some directories do approvide listing in multiple categories but they are very few.
See what I am trying to do is get the normal business person involved. Any one involved in websites know the likes of DP ect, so when sites are selling ads on their web sites they are really selling to other webmasters. I am trying to open it up that say a resturant supplies company, can buy advertisement on a food blog. Now most small companies would not know about DP ect but might get to know us through looking for sales agents. Likewise if they went to a directory, they would look under business not webmaster. saying that I need the webmasters to know about it.
But since you are having discussion forum. I advise you to go through the category i said or another one is web promotion under Internet.
I think its a no win situation, if I do that one webmaster, i will be one of hundreds and I would not be found by business people, if I post under business the web masters would not find me. Any one got a list of directories that you can post in two different catagories.
