We just recently added a very visible "Add your Business" link to every category page over at www.AllBuziness.com and our submissions have taken off. Such a little change has gone a long way... @Tom: I completely agree!

I think one of the major keys is to have a clearly visible link with the title "SUGGEST YOUR WEBSITE" or "ADD YOUR LINK". Thanks Very informative article.

Especially the part about content feeds targeted to the individual page; nobody does this ( with a few exceptions ), and everybody would benefit.

Some of them are common sense, but may be overlooked. Having you quantify these standards helps me when I make a directory. Thanks for your tips. Some of them are common sense, but may be overlooked.
