Dear UK or Irish Online Merchant,

We offer UK and Irish online stores listings/links on two shopping directories: surftheisles.com (UK and Irish Online Stores) and surftheisles.co.uk (Boutique Shops of UK and Ireland). They generate over 1.2 million click-throughs a year to online shops. On average we send 100 shoppers a month to each paid listed shop.

We offer free one-line links to stores that first link to us. These links benefit shops who want to improve their search engine rankings by having a popular site link to them. Free listings are offered to shop owners only--we do not exchange links with marketing and SEO companies.

Our paid listings deliver ten times the number of shoppers as do free listings, however.

Here are our paid listing details -- no fine print. Listings are duplicated on both surftheisles.com and surftheisles.co.uk so you get two for the price of one. Listings have a six months duration. We accept payment through Paypal.

• Clickworthy Listing
  £20 purchases a "Clickworthy" listing with a 4-line description. The listing is placed in the Clickworthy box in alpha order. The shop has the right to use our "We're Clickworthy" or "We Ship to USA & EU" button from our homepage.
  
• Pick-to-Click Listing
  £30 purchases a "Pick-to-Click" listing with a 4-line description. Pick-to-Click listings are placed at the top of the Clickworthy box and stay there until another Pick-to-Click listing is added or renewed. ...then the top spot listing moves to second spot and so on. Upon renewal it again moves to top spot.
  
• Graphic Link
  £30 purchases a image link or £50 purchases both a Pick to Click listing and image link. The shop can send us the image and we will size it correctly or we can copy it from the site. We prefer not to use logos because they usually don't provide useful information to the shopper.
  
• Multiple Listings
  We will duplicate your listing on multiple category pages at a discount. For instance, links to lingerie stores are appropriate for the Lingerie, Wedding and Clothing pages.
  
• Homepage Listings
  £30 purchases a Site Sampler listing on the homepage. £40 purchases a graphic link.
• Site Assessment
  For £50 I will look at your site with a critical eye and give you a frank, detailed assessment of its strengths and weaknesses. Over the past six years I've viewed thousands of online shops--successful and failed attempts. It is fair to say that more than many 'experts' and Webmasters we understand the black art of online sales.

Get Started Now. Add links to www.surftheisles.co.uk and www.surftheisles.com, then email us at surftheisles@yahoo.com. We'll reciprocate with links back to you, assess your site and email you a proposal for paid listings.

To our clients' advantage, Surf the Isles ranks quite well with search engines. Search Google.com for 'Irish Stores' or 'UK Women Clothing' for example--we usually rank in the top five. Why? We are a reputable, well established shopping directory (1999 launch) that pointedly seeks reciprocal links and understand how to use keywords.
