In addition to free basic listings (which are submitted
here), we also offer paid text ads which include a link to your Web site, description,
and optional logo.
When you promote your site by placing an ad in the Benzie Web
Directory, you are making your site:
- much more visible to the Directory's nearly 18,000 "targeted"
annual visitors.
- being seen immediately by those coming to the ad's specific category,
ahead of the main list of that category's sites.
Having a link in the Directory also increases your ranking
in the Web's many search engines.
Ads run for a full year and cost only $45 per ad. That's less than $1/week.
- Placing an ad is easy — it's all all done via email.
- Paying for an ad is simple — write a check or use our online shopping cart.
- Please see below for all the details.
We look forward to hearing from you!
