Why you should not rely on free web hosting

If you have free website hosted on Geocities or a blog hosted with free blog services such as Blogger, or Blogsome, the chances are that web directories will not be too keen on listing your site or blog. This is because, as experience shows, these type of websites or blogs are perceived as lousy and fourth-class, the pariah of the internet. People who have free sites are generally lazy people who do not generally put too much SEO work. Moreover, these type of websites tend to have less information and are less reliable than websites which are on paid hosting. Search engines, and that includes all directories, will pass over a website that do not have original content or great live links.

There is only so much you can do with your site in its own except for do the very best in search engine optimization but you always could use more and more site views. You can have the most original content, the best graphics, advertisements and links but if your site is new and you are looking to jumpstart your page views, then using a paid directory is what you would need to do. You want what everyone else wants for their website, but some people may be content to have people searching for them while others are looking to get people to come and keep coming back. Therefore, paying for a web directory listing is the way to go.

Keep up the effort and certainly it will pay off in the long run.
