Directories Below is a list of directories, most found within Google.co.uk under cornwall directory uk.

I tend to recommend to initially go for the free links where available, and then to review whether they are working for you before you pay.
(statistics for your web site should be available through your hosting, these tell you your number of visitors, where they came from, where they went on your site, and lots of other interesting and vital information to help you market your site effectively)

Directories
This is a list of directories related to Cornwall. As you can see some of the directories are free and I wouldn’t hesitate to advertise on these! However, others cost money and I would research carefully whether it is worth the money advertising on these. For instance, the ‘This is Cornwall’ website probably gets tons of hits but then I would assume to link to the site would cost around £250 - this might sound a lot but is well worth the money.
Make sure you read the page on Site Submissions to ensure that you link to some very important sites first.

I am building a site which will be free to advertise on. see Cornwall Info.

As I have said before, I’ll say it again. Be careful with paying for some of these sites. One or two have been built with frames which are generally search engine unfriendly. Others make claims about being on the top spot… or something similar. Go careful. Do your research and don’t be afraid to ask. I am happy to help and will be happy to cross link generally.
