What Everybody Ought To Know About Business.com + Business.com Coupon Code

Discussion in 'Directories' started by onlinedude, Jun 14, 2007.

  1. #1
    Business.com is one of those directories that everyone has heard of, but most people know little about it. Even being in the directory industry myself, I knew very little about this premium directory. I wanted to know more, and fortunately, Jessica Bowman, the Directory of Search Engine Optimization at Business.com answered all of my questions.

    You can read the interview here:

    Jessica also kindly provided a coupon code for $40 off a submission to Business.com. So go and submit your site there today!

    Sorry about that - there seems to be a problem with the promo code. They are working on it and I'll post here when it's fixed.

    Excuse my manners - I should have expressed my thanks for the interview and the promo code opportunity rather than just mention the promo code error.

    Good read; it clairfied a question I had regarding their listings and the brief nofollow episode. There was quite a bit of speculation about the reasoning behind it and it was difficult to determine how it was being applied.

    Thanks to you and Jessica Bowman for the interview.

    Very Nice interview and Thanks for the coupon. One thing now is that I hope they accept my site for inclusion.

    This is a MUST to have Authority Link for Serious Directory Owners.

    Its a great interview. I think Jeff should also post info about himself as many of us would like to more about him, like when he started, how he got into this directory business, how much time he spends per week, what all he considers about backlinks, any recommendations of other directories, future of directories business, any discount for dp members for listings etc..
    No offense to Jeff or any other dp members, it's just a simple suggestion.

    What is this???

    I remembered reading a thread about business.com and other big directories. It is confusing because the other thread was about some problems with this directory and now this thread is about how good it is.

    Does anyone has any idea what post i'm talking about?
