Be sure to read the submission rules carefully at each site. This will slow you down but it increases your chances of getting your site listed. Listings can last for years, so it's worth while taking your time to get the details correct.

Submit to niche directories.
Search for smaller, specialist directories in your niche. For example, if your site is on a health topic, look for health-related directories.

How to find niche directories;

• Go to Search It! (It's a very handy free research tool.)


• Scroll to the Search Category, "Specialty Hubs and Directories"


• Choose one of the 4 options in STEP 2

• Complete STEPS 3 and 4, and then click on Search It!


• Read the tutorial. It tells you what to do with the search results


• Get your search results. You should be able to find relevant, themed hub sites and directories which will list your site. Some charge a fee, some are free.
