		<description>So few businesses are aware of the value of these free business directories and so I went ahead a couple of years and created a package where I will list their business for them on 15-20 free directories, many of which are listed above. Many of the directories now allow logos to be added, photos and even documents, and some even include social media links such as Twitter which all add to the ability to expose and promote your business.</description>

		<description>Cheers mate, greatly appreciate it! I was totally amazed at how quickly google picked up on these rankings.  I&#039;ve tried it with a few different sites now, all with similar results too.</description>

		<description>I would never have thought of this - you know me and that to be the truth. Given my developing start-ups, these will prove invaluable and will certainly leverage my efforts.

You&#039;ll be pleased to know that I am now directing a whole bunch of folk to this blog - it has too much information to be kept a secret!</description>

		<description>Thanks for the useful list. Another to add is http://womow.com.au, although this is more of a review site.

Interestingly, after reading this yesterday I created a listing in a couple of the directories. Like you, I found the HotFrog listing was indexed by Google really quickly.

What I found interesting, and I am hypothesising here, is that very soon after (ie less than an hour) after the HotFrog listing was indexed, I got a telemarketing call from dlook (whom I hadn&#039;t listed with). I brushed them off, but they called back this morning. [Spammy phone calls = fail]

I suspect they are monitoring listings on their competitors sites that are newly indexed and telemarketing to them.

Not cool, but not as creepy as the fact the bloke with the indian accent who called me from dlook said his name was &#039;Monique&#039;. Weird choice.</description>

		<description>Hi Seb

I&#039;m Nick Mcintosh&#039;s brother, he mentioned you were up to interesting things. Not sure if he&#039;s been in touch recently but his stuff is here http://nickmcintosh.com.au/

Anyway I&#039;ve been CRM shopping a bit recently. I implemented Zoho CRM for the company I work for. Its not bad but there are definate improvements that could exist. I&#039;m back in the CRM market for another project www.gr8venue.com so a trial would be great.

Keep posting - I&#039;m definately interested if you do the $1000 startup in a month you mentioned.

Cheers

		<description>But for using sms gateway as commercial purposes, you need shared short code to send sms from web to cell phones. Sending sms through shared short code or own brand short code to customer helps to reach your products to customer. Short code is now used by all popular reality shows, programs, games and election campaigns to send or to populate their message to targeted audiences.
