Web directories have always been a staple in the SEO arena and probably always will be, but in this era where social networking becomes more and more important, we as webmasters and business owners are looking for something more in our directory listings.
We not only want people to find our websites, we also want people to find where we can be located on many different social networking sites like Twitter, Orkut or Facebook just to name a few. "The majority of web savvy businesses or bloggers not only maintain their main websites but they are also active members on sites like Twitter or Facebook and want to be found. They each know the importance of the social networking venues and openly reach out to their readers or customers through them." says Richard Kerr, owner of Socialrific.com.
Socialrific.com is the leader of a new bread of web directories now emerging that focuses on helping people and businesses advertise both their websites and social networking profiles.
Richard states "Socialrific.com's main mission is to list every person, business, organization or band that has a website and one or more social networking profiles. This way we can not only find their main websites, but we can find them on whichever social networking site they utilize. These people and companies want to develop relationships with their fans or customer base and personally interact with you. We can add them as a friend on Facebook or follow them on Twitter and they can follow you as well. That’s pretty socialrific if you ask me!”
On your details page on Socialrific.com you’ll find you can display your logo or even a photo of you or your team. Richard explains that people don’t really care to see a small picture of your website. Richard believes visitors want to see you or your logo. You may even choose to make a customized video for your visitors or may already have a video you wish to display. To display your video, it’s as easy as inputting the ID of your video from YouTube.com or Viddler.com, etc. and Socialrific.com will take care of the rest and your video will also be displayed on your directory listing.
“Listing your website on Socialrific.com is a great way to gain a one-way back link as we don’t require a reciprocal link. You’re details page will include all of the details you have provided, including your own keywords and meta description you inputted upon submitting. We also make sure all of our links are “nofollowed”
Richard continues “As well, once you list your website and profiles on Socialrific.com, my work just begins. Visit our submit page (http://www.socialrific.com/
