Green Industry Directory Advertising
ProGardenBiz Green Industry Directory is a Yahoo-style directory devoted to businesses in the Green Industry. Registration and a basic listing is free. The directory can be found at:
http://www.progardenbiz.com/green-directory/
A basic listing is for one category. 100 word maximum. You can suggest new categories if there is not one you feel is appropriate for your business. After registering you can place the listing yourself. Listings are reviewed and approved usually within 48 hours.
Example of Basic Listing:

Premium Directory Advertising
Premium Directory Listing - $25 per month
Includes:
- Multiple categories, up to five. Categories do need to be relevant.
- Editor's Pick - appears on the Editor's Pick page, but order of placement is random.
- Top Section of Category - appears in the top section of the category listings before free listings, but placement within top section is random.
Photo Listing - $25 per month
Includes one photo, 100 x 100 pixels maximum size. Photo appears on all category listings of same listing if you have multiple categories. Photo is placed at the beginning of the listing.
Example of Photo Listing:

Premium Top of Category Listing - Additional $25.00 per month
Premium placement is available for Premium Directory Listings with Photo Listings. Placement within the category (starting with the top position) is assigned on a first-come basis. Priority is given to longer contracts. Contract holders have first right of refusal at time of renewal. Priority placements are reassigned at the first of each month, depending on expiration of contracts and availability of positions.
Example: If you purchase a six month contract for the Premium Top of Category Listing before anyone else then your listing will appear at the top of the category listing for that six month period. At the end of your contract you have the option to renew. If someone else has purchased a 12 month contract then they will assume the top slot unless you renew for a 12 month (or greater period). As first in the category you have the first right of refusal on that spot.
Home Page Premium Listing - Additional $25.00 per month
Any listing may be place on the Home Page with this option. Home Page Premium Listings are only available for Premium Directory Listings with Photo Listings. Placement within the home page is random unless you also have a Premium Top of Category listing.
Contract Discounts:
Six month: 5%
Annual: 10%
Minimum contract is three months. Contracts are pre-paid.
Multiple Ad Discounts:
5+: 2%
10+: 5%
