Earlier, we wrote about free article submission, this time it’s about directory submission and here’s BizFive.com for your adds with some distinct features. On the outset, this business directory looks professional, less cluttered than most web directories and the layout structure also seems SEO friendly.

Also, you will find business documents with enhanced business features, how-tos, details, checklists, techniques, standards and information catering to the increasing web trends of Business-to-Business (B2B) services and exponentially increasing demands for web-based resources and information.

Some of you might be particularly interested in Design and Development. Here are excerpts from Seven Design Principles I found on this site.
Copy: Scannable, try using bullets, highlight your keywords for specific information your readers might be looking for.
White space & text design: White space is easy on the eyes. Fonts should be large enough for even the older ones to read. Clutter free and yet space optimization is a must.
Pictures: Pictures create a mood and interest, choose an appropriate picture for your post. Keep them light, so that they do not take too long to load.
Graphics: Plan your graphics well, a haphazardly arranged graphics reflects an amateur site, so do it right and within the requirements.
Be easy to navigate: Keep few links in your main directory, arouse interest interest instead of choice fatigue. Maintain hierarchy.
Be credible: With constant skeptics around you, ensure your site looks professional, your stats reliable, and content original.Testimonials, warranty, guarantee, secure credit card processing, privacy policies, disclaimers are the way to go.
Never Be Finished: Google likes fresh content, so do readers. Keep adding new information, tweak your site design keeping SEO in mind.

PR5 is not a big deal. Find 7 and 8 :). THX.
It is not about the PR. Before submission you should look for other things as number of pages indexed and when was home page last indexed in G00GLE (should less than 30 days).
Thanks,

You should always make sure the directory you submit to has an editorial policy and takes the time to review your site. If there isn’t, then skip it and move on! Thank you for great resource.
