Australian Search Engines

The best Australian search engines and directories 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.

I have spend a lot of time searching search engines, directories SEO sites and resources that deliver the best bang for your buck. If you reside in Australia, or your site is hosted here, you will gain many benefits of being listed locally.

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.

These are a few that I've found to stand out from the rest:

Hotfrog - www.hotfrog.com.au/ Free listing with loads of traffic. Article submission available

Infolink - www.infolink.com.au/ Another free listing with article submission. An online information service provided by the architecture, building and construction publishing arm of Reed Business Information at Chatswood

Webwombat - www.webwombat.com.au/ Australia's original Search Engine. Has huge traffic, over 1 million unique visits per month. Has waiting list for Premium Links which give you a PR 6 link. Expensive, but worth waiting for.

Yahoo Priority Listing is NOT recommended and my opinion, not good value for money. Go for the free listing.

Here is a hot tip. Go to your favourite search engne (read Google) and type in your best keyword, followed by search engine or directory. You might come up with some "hidden treasures!"
