Australian Search Engines
Everyone knows (or should know) that the best search engines and directories
are the ones that deliver fast, relevant results to search queries. But
which ones are the best to submit your website to to gain the best one way links?
Below are my recommended Australian search engines and directories. They are
worthwhile because they have high traffic and some pass on links and Google PageRank to your
site. Some are free, and others are low cost paid inclusion directories or
search engines.
N.B.
I haven't mentioned the Yahoo directory as it isn't Australian or low cost at
$US299, but it does give you lots of relevant links to your website.
http://www.adelaide-city-directory.com.au Recommended full page listing is $132
inc GST (Annual Fee). Also have standard listing at $33. PR 3
http://www.anzwers.com.au/suggest_site.html Free listing
http://www.aussienow.com.au/add-listing.html Paid inclusion @ $49.95 pa. Great
value for a PR 3 link over 12 months
http://www.brisbane-city-directory.com.au Recommended full page listing is $132
inc GST (Annual Fee). Also have standard listing at $33. PR 3
http://www.clickfind.com.au Lists up to 500 products and services completely
FREE for a month. Then pay just $19.95. Recommended newcomer.
http://www.directoryaustralia.com/account/register Free listing with featured
site option. Featured listing isn't worth it in my opinion.
https://www.gtp.com.au/gtp/gtplist/listing/addAListing.jsp Free listing
http://www.hotfrog.com.au Free listing. Large amount of traffic, has Alexa
ranking of 25,248. Passes PR 2 and allows press releases.

traffic, has Alexa ranking of 86.700. Allows press releases with PR 2.
http://www.insurancehq.com.au Free listing with high traffic, no PR passing.
http://www.kangaroo.com.au/content/suggest.html Free listing
https://www.lookle.com/lookleadsorder.htm Used to be free. Not a lot of traffic.
Listings aren't PPC but have a system where you pay for keywords shown at 3
keywords = $75 per year 6 keywords = $125 per year 9 keywords = $195 per year.
Gives PR 2 on URL
