There are hundreds of directories out there, meaning hundreds of opportunities to add addition pathways to a website.

Press Releases Press Release: Also referred to a news release, media release, or press statement is a written document directed at members of the news media or even to consumers, for the purpose of announcing something of importance. The traditional means of a press release has been to attract media attention, but when used in an E-Marketing strategy it can increase web traffic, reach donors directly and build an organization’s online presence.
