If you are familiar with the directories within the iEntry Network, you would know that Jayde is one of the most dominant sites within our network. With this in mind, Jayde has recently been redesigned, making its services easier and more appealing to you.

The Jayde search engine has been in existince since 1996 and contains approximately 277,660 distinct categories to browse, making this one of the largest B2B search engines out there.

The changes that you will see on this new version of Jayde are listed below:

• Faster searching.
• Visual keywords and tags associated with site listings.
• Easier-to-use site listing editor tool.
• Sort search results by top or deep results.

If you have not submitted your business’ website to Jayde and would like to see it included in our quality B2B search engine, I would highly recommend submitting to us. Submitting to Jayde is both free and easy, and can be performed on Jayde’s submission form.

When submitting to Jayde, you may also enter additional optional information to help increase the visibility of your site listing in our search engine, such as: business street address, GPS latitude/longitude, and business description. This is a new feature to the Jayde submission process that has not been offered in previous versions of our quality B2B search engine.

If you have any questions pertaining to the new Jayde search engine, please be sure to post your inquiry on the iEntry Directory Portal Forum under the Jayde category. The Jayde staff will be glad to answer any questions that you may have in relation to our latest upgrade.

UPDATE (6.28.10): Directories have been successfully fixed. You may now browse/submit to the various directories within the iEntry Network.

Since this past weekend (July 26th), the iEntry Network niche directories have been experiencing some unexpected downtime.

The iEntry Network’s IT team is working diligently to restore these quality directories back to full service. I will update this post when the niche directories have come back online, so please check back here frequently for updates.

On behalf of the iEntry Network, I apologize for any inconvenience this causes.

Among the various directories that are included within the iEntry Network, we do include various regional search engine sites. These are search engines that have their traffic targeted to their geographic location (mostly their country), which allows the website submitters to have their website gain traffic from this specific location.

The information on the various iEntry Network regional search engines have been provided below:

• AUSearchEngine
  
  

  Targeted Country: Australia (.au)
  PageRank: 2
  Average Page Views (Per Day): 1,300

• CAWebSearch
  
  

  Targeted Country: Canada (.ca)
  PageRank: 2
  Average Page Views (Per Day): 1,200

• EnterUK
  
  

  Targeted Country: UK/Great Britain (.uk)

  Average Page Views (Per Day): 1,200

• SearchZA
  
  

  Targeted Country: South Africa (.za)
  PageRank: 3
  Average Page Views (Per Day): 7,000

To submit your business’ website for inclusion in any of these search engines, please be sure to click on the “Submit Your Site” link that is located at the top left-hand side of all of the sites that have been listed above. This will load a submission form that you can complete to have your site submitted to the specific search engine(s) where you would like your website included.

If you have any questions regarding these regional search engines, you may post your question on the iEntry Directory Portal Forum under the Regional Directories section. I would be glad to assist you with any questions that you may have relating to these quality region search engine sites.

Among the various directories that can be found within the iEntry Network, there is a service that can help you submit to all of these directories without having to visit every single directory one by one. This service is called SubmitterBot and it is part of the iEntry Network as well.

SubmitterBot is a completely free service that will let you submit your business’ website or blog to the directories included in its submission list (of which the 480 directories within the iEntry Network have been added) and also allow you to choose the directories where you would like your website to be included, giving you control of the inclusion of your business’ website listing.

This quality directory submission service currently includes 750 directories within its web/link directory submission list, and has a goal of topping 1,000 directories within this list. With this in mind, I would like to extend the invitation from SubmitterBot that if you have a free-listing directory, to submit it to SubmitterBot for inclusion in their submission list.

With your free-listing directory included in SubmitterBot’s web/niche submission list, your directory acquires valuable traffic/submissions (approximately 3,000-4,000 page views per day), generates a backlink into your directory from our PR 2 site, and helps SubmitterBot get one step closer to reaching its 1,000 directory goal.

If you own a free-listing directory, or have one in mind that you are wanting to see included in SubmitterBot, you can suggest your directory to the site by using its directory suggestion form, or if you have an account on the iEntry Directory Portal Forum, please leave a post within the SubmitterBot section of our forum. Be sure to include “Directory Suggestion” within the subject line of your post.

Prior to submitting your free-listing directory to SubmitterBot, I would highly recommend reviewing their web/niche directory guidelines. This will help better the chances of inclusion within their web/niche directory submission list.

Happy Submitting!

Besides the various directories that are included within the iEntry Network, the iEntry Network also includes various applications and websites that can counterpart with your Twitter usage. If you are unsure of what Twitter is, I have provided a summary of its functionality from Wikipedia below…

Twitter is a social networking and microblogging service that enables its users to send and read messages known as tweets. Tweets are text-based posts of up to 140 characters displayed on the author’s profile page and delivered to the author’s subscribers who are known as followers.

The websites mentioned below are great for benefiting and enhancing your experience on this quality microblogging site…

Twe.ly

Do you tweet a lot of long URLs that hinder your 140-character limit? If so, this website is for you! Twe.ly not only shortens your URL, but it also gives you statistics about who has clicked on it, including: location, browser, and referrer.

Twellow.com

You have probably read my reference about this service before in other posts, but if you have not, Twellow is a Twitter-user directory that helps you find other users by their niche. You can even register for Twellow and customize your profile to help other users find you easier.

Twply.com

Do you receive a lot of @ replies when tweeting? If so, Twply can help notify you. This service will send all of your @ replies to your e-mail so that you can be instantly notified when you receive a reply from another Twitter user.

If you are looking for other ways and applications to better your tweeting, many of the directories that are included in our network have Internet and Social Media/Networking categories with various user-submitted websites of different applications that can suit your tweeting needs.

Happy Submitting!

If you have not visited Twellow recently, this quality Twitter user directory has undergone various changes to the way that users log in. With this in mind, OAuth has been added, giving Twellow a more user-friendly and secure login process.

If you are unsure of what Twellow is, it is a niche directory of Twitter users that have been sorted into various categories organized by their niche. For more information on this service, please read our blog post that was written by lead developer Matthew Daines.

With this switch to OAuth, Twellow users can experience the following benefits:

• More secure login process.
• Same access to Twitter that you are used to.
• You can use a different password for Twellow that is separate from your Twitter account.
• Tweet directly from Twellow.

Logging into Twellow with this new login process is easy, and I have provided these steps below to assist you with logging in.

1. Log into Twellow using the same username and password that you would use to log into Twitter with.
2. Enter a new password that you would like to use with Twellow and click on the “Continue to Twitter” button.
3. Make sure that you are logged into Twitter under the account that you would like to be active on Twellow with and click on “Allow.”

Not registered on Twellow but want to be? Registration is completely free and can be acheived here.

Please feel free to share how Twellow benefits you and/or your business in our comments section below.
