WICHITA, Kan., Oct. 30, 2001 (PRIMEZONE) -- A and L Enterprises announced today that their top-ranked financial, real estate, and business directories are at the top of the search engines and are now accepting listings and advertising.
"More than half of those looking for financial, real estate, and business information now turn to the Internet for information," according to Lynn Terrell, Executive Director.
"During the past year, we purchased and launched more than a dozen top directory domains. Our goal was to get our sites well placed on the search engines before offering advertising and listing opportunities to the selected industries."
The directories include:
http://TheWebDirectory.com http://TheBankingDirectory.com http://TheRealtyDirectory.com http://TheMortgageDirectory.com http://TheInvestorDirectory.com http://TheJobsDirectory.com http://TheMedicalDirectory.com http://TheAutosDirectory.com http://TheCatalogDirectory.com http://TheBusinessDirectories.com
Coming Soon:
http://TheProsDirectory.com http://TheRecreationDirectory.com
"The listings start at only $200 a year, and can be published and sending business your way within hours. That's less than $20 a month -- quite a bargain for your advertising dollar," Terrell noted.
Examples of some listings can be seen at:

"If you already have a Web site, we will link to it from your listing in our directory. If you don't have a Web site, it gives your company an opportunity to immediately be among the select few companies featured in domains at the top of the search engines.
"Our efforts in promotion and marketing have proved to be very successful," Terrell added. "We have far exceeded our initial goals."
"Before the end of the year, we expect to receive more than a million targeted unique visitors a month to http://TheMortgageDirectory.com. Our domains have also won several top awards, including The Real Estate Library's Pure Gold Award."
The company also owns FundLender.com and HouseCredit.com, which are both for sale to any company who wants to move their company into those top-ranked sites. They are both at the TOP of the search engines under many search phrases.
"Under the phrase "Commercial Funding" in Google -- which is the search engine used by Yahoo -- FundLender.com is #2 out of 1,140,000 pages, and TheInvestorDirectory.com is #5. In fact, A and L Enterprises currently owns 9 of the top 20 sites.
"The word "foreclosures" is one of the top search words on the Internet, according to Terrell. "Under "Kentucky Foreclosures" (and most other states) -- we own 4 of the first 7 sites -- including HouseCredit.com, TheMortgageDirectory.com, and TheInvestorDirectory.com."
Their domains are also at the top under words like "Houses for sale in Missouri," "Tennessee houses for sale," Montana mortgages," and many more.
"At less than $20 a month, that's a great value for your advertising dollar," Terrell added.
"Remember: Without publicity, a terrible thing happens -- NOTHING! So, call today. If you don't, your competition will!"
