		<description>Mary - Skaffe and JoeAnt ARE paid directories, my apologies if I didn&#039;t make that clear enough! What I was saying there is that for step one, you need to make sure that your site isn&#039;t already listed, because those are two examples of human-edited directories, where the editors will often find your site and list it on their own - so there&#039;s no NEED to pay. Not searching for your site first, might put you in a place for paying when you didn&#039;t have to - you could skip over it entirely, since you&#039;re already listed. If you&#039;re not (and the only way to tell is with a search on the directory site itself) then yes, you&#039;d either have to pay, or become/make friends with an editor. ;)

Ray - Thanks for stopping in and commenting! I plan on really keeping up with the blog, so do indeed stop by regularly! :)</description>

		<description>Hi:
I read your article and followed the links to: Skaffe and JoeAnt. Both were pay for link directories (at least, that&#039;s what I found. maybe I&#039;m wrong). I didn&#039;t use them. However, your advice is timely and useful for how to actually do a submission and I enjoyed reading it. Thanks!

There are some wonderful sites to do submissions. I believe that the human touch of the submission, 1 by 1, not by a software program, are most effective. I actually enjoy visiting these sites anyway. It may be tedious, but it&#039;s worth it. PR Web is something I would use if I could afford it. (but I don&#039;t use prweb.com; I would if I had a big company, however.)
Thanks. I love the big &#039;how to&#039; list!</description>

		<description>Hey Lara,
Thanks for the link.  It&#039;s nice when someone actually takes the time to read the posts on a project like this.

Sorry it took me so long to comment, I didn&#039;t see the link on T-rati til just now.

Thanks again,
Joe

ps.
Please don&#039;t think that I was dismissing your advice on my blog, there is a lot going on outside of the online world.
I do appreciate your expertise and hope you didn&#039;t take offense.

Thanks again,

Joe</description>
