A directory can do more with your listing, like displaying logos and basic contact info. The web directory itself has become more pleasing to the eye ? and, I should add, for its own good!

What?s more is that web directories (just like this advice column and ICMediaDirect.com?s consulting services for clients) are free. You can?t beat that. Joseph Pratt
