We help "buyers" find your site

Many of the best and most informative rustic related websites don't rank well in search engines.  Why is this, you ask? 

"Rustic" is a tiny niche in the furniture industry and many rustic websites are hard to locate in the search engines.  Because our niche is small - and traffic to our websites is generally modest, most search engines don't rank our sites favorably.  Search engine robots and the algorithms they use to evaluate websites often means that many of the most talented rustic furniture makers' websites don't even appear in some search engines.  Or if they do, they are buried hundreds (or thousands) of listings deep.

Search engines use highly sophisticated technology to make a decision on a site's "worthiness" (for inclusion) by using pre-programmed conditions.  Among their criteria...

• Amount of traffic a site receives.  Well, that leaves most of us out in the cold as we operate in such a narrow industry niche. 
   

• The number of sites that link "to" a particular site.  The thinking here is that if numerous sites link to XYZ.com, it must be popular and offer great information.  Don't confuse this with links "from" a site (your links page).  That benefits the sites you link to - not your website.
   

• Depth of content.  Again, this eliminates many companies as most websites function as electronic brochures and storefronts, not necessarily jam-packed with related educational matter.  As an example, few rustic furniture sites discuss the history of furniture, construction techniques, etc. in depth. Typically, your goal is to sell products, not instruct.

Additional benefits

The Rustic Directories are edited, managed and administered by "humans".  Ours is NOT some automated link techno-farm - that can actually damage your listing in the search engines.  One HUGE difference with our directory is that we encourage you to take advantage of our generous 500 character site description.  Most search engines and directories, as you probably know, only permit 80 - 250 characters.  This gives you an opportunity to create a compelling "Ad" for your company & products. 

We attract "qualified buyers" who are looking for your products, but may not unearth your site as a result of their search query.  Our listing offers you the opportunity to "sell your company and products" with a powerful 500 character description - in addition to all other company contact information (email, address, phone, fax, etc.).
 

What about advertising?

We have a maxim about online advertising that goes like this...

Advertising on the Internet is a lot like going fishing... 
Just being out on the water doesn't mean you'll catch any fish...
To be sure, you need the right "lure" (your Ad) - but most importantly...
You have to drop your line where the fish are feeding!

More than 85% of Internet users find web sites with the help of the search engines and directories. If they are not finding your site, give yourself an edge ...fish here - we offer a stocked pond!

"Fish where the fish are!"  Get the facts!
