<div id="attachment_4985" class="wp-caption alignleft" style="width: 144px"><a href="http://dordogne-gites.net/wp-content/uploads/2011/10/http-logo.jpg"><img class="size-full wp-image-4985  " src="http://dordogne-gites.net/wp-content/uploads/2011/10/http-logo.jpg" alt="Which directory" width="134" height="118" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">So much choice!</p></div>
<p>I get asked quite frequently if we would mind adding these links to our website and whilst I have no problem doing so I always ponder which page to put them on?  I advertise on many sites, both &#8216;paid-for&#8217; and &#8216;free&#8217; and to put a link to each and every one would clutter my site and quite frankly make it look very untidy. Having said that I do feel quite guilty by not giving a reciprocal link to these directories &#8211; especially the ones that are free.  I understand the hard work that&#8217;s gone into creating some of these sites.  It&#8217;s because of this that I have decided to add a new blog post specifically for displaying these links and will update it as and when I feel we have a new deserving case.  The advantage of putting these links on a unique blog page (as opposed to just adding the link to the bottom of an inappropriate page) is that they will get picked-up by the search engines faster &#8211; thus giving more exposure on the www!  I have separated the directories into &#8216;Freebies&#8217; and &#8216;Paid-For&#8217;:</p>
<p><strong>Freebies:</strong></p>
<ul>
<li><a title="GiteFinder" href="http://www.gitefinder.fr/intro.htm">GiteFinder</a></li>
</ul>
<p><strong>Paid-For:</strong></p>
<ul>
<li><a href="http://www.ownersdirect.co.uk/france/FR5211.htm">Owners Direct</a></li>
<li></li>
</ul>
