Submitting to Local and IYP Directories

I don't care if you work out of your home office and use a 3x5 mailbox down the
block as your business address, you should get your website listed in the local and
Internet Yellow Page(IYP) directories.

The Google search results are getting more crowded with Google Local listings
appearing above the other search listings. Google Local and Yahoo Local search
results are predominately influenced by listings in Switchboard and Verizon
SuperPages so you should strive to get listings in these.

Here are the top ones to submit your site to:

Yahoo Local

To add your business listing to Yahoo Local, go to http://local.yahoo.com and then
click Add/Edit a Business at the bottom of the page.

Google Local

If you advertise with Yellow Pages, you should already be in Google Local. If not,
read the information at http://local.google.com/help/faq_local.html and then send an
email with the required information to local-listings@google.com.

AOL Yellow Pages

Go to http://yp.aol.com for a listing.

Verizon SuperPages

Go to http://www.superpages.com/about/new_chg_listing_business.html to get a
business profile listing.

Switchboard.com

Go to http://www.switchboard.com/adproducts.asp. Listings range from $15/mo to
$35/mo.

MSN Yellow Pages

Go to http://yellowpages.msn.com. MSN charges $400/yr for this - they need to keep
the shareholders happy I guess. Do only if you can really afford it.
