Sometimes it can be hard to promote a website on a shoe string budget.  I have done it, and to be honest, most of the time, things didn’t go as well as I had thought.  But, when I did find a good place to list my site (that actually sent me traffic) I was always careful to note what it was for future use.

Check out the three following web directories that you should be submitting you site to for free:

• 4169 - Free Link Directory is one of my favorite places to submit my site to.  It seems to get approved quickly (at the time of this writing) and search engines tend to pickup on my link from there quickly too.
• The Best Damn Links Page just has a really cool name and it is hard to pass it up.  But for me, it is another site that your listing gets picked up super fast, resulting in more traffic to my site.
• Tower Promote Link Directory is a golden oldie.  I think it is the oldest site of the bunch - which means that search engines see it with a little more authority.  My links are indexed fast and I can usually see a difference in my rankings in just a couple of days.
