Online Business Directories in 2011

From time to time we get down to see what kind of online business directories are out there, draw a table and analyze statistics a bit. If we take a look at our non-representative list of business directories posted in 2010 , you'll see important changes regarding the numbers.

While in 2010 we listed 28 nationwide and general directories, this year we have analyzed 47 online business directories. The directories presented are ranked according to Alexa and it's not necessarily accurate.

Same features with new design at CYLEX

It's been a while since our last post, but as you can see, CYLEX Business Directory UK has undergone some changes in design. An important modification we'd like to present here today is the new admin field through which you can complete your company's presentation page in CYLEX in an easier manner.

The first thing you'll see after sign up/sign in is a percentage bar showing the completeness of your profile. By clicking on the links under this percentage bar you can view all the CYLEX features enumerated, categorized in accordance with the information you provided or missed to provide so far.

When scrolling down a little you can also find a Control Panel with these features, so that sharing the information with your business partners and clients to be truly simple! Always remember the key point of the services offered by CYLEX: the more detailed presentation page you have, the more visibility you'll get.

With this new design we meant to draw the attention of all CYLEX users to our absolutely free features that are so easy to use and play such an important role in helping your listing appear higher in the search results. We're waiting for your experiences and suggestions concerning this new design, so feel free to contact us here, but look for us on Facebook and Twitter as well!
