Turkoc.com had been a recognized premium web directory which was powered by the Site Sift Listings directory script until it had fallen to the unfortunate experience of being hacked my some malicious Armenian crackers.
Attempts to port the listings over to a new directory management software system are currently being investigated by the Turkoc Premium Directory staff. However, while we are carefully considering several options and investigating such directory management software products for security as well as portability and feature evaluation has taken a bit longer than we have anticipated.
For these reasons we are using Turkoc Premium Directory Listings to showcase other fine web directories, link exchanges, search engine optimization tools, link building systems, online promotion techniques, online advertising PPC opportunities and web based marketing systems. We are sure that you will enjoy the variety, depth and professionalism of the included listings for other premium web directories, promotion information and online marketing resources.
In the meantime, we recommend that others stay away from the SSL directory script in order to avoid the same or similar outcome.

There is an interesting phenomenon that should really give you
some insight as to what you should be doing in terms of
promotion.
As an ezine publisher, I really believe I get to see everything.
No, I don't know everything, but I do get exposed to everything.
I've noticed a funny thing, however. The Internet is full of
"how to promote" manuals, ebooks, reports, programs, email
courses, and sites. Often times, I meet up with people that are
selling these 'how to promote' items, and guess what it ...

We all know it really, when we see web sites constantly updating with free anonymous proxy lists. New ones seem to be added every day, isn't it nice of people to pay huge bandwidth charges to let complete strangers surf anonymously on the internet?

There are lots of ezines (newsletters) out there that offer
free classified ads to new subscribers (and many even offer free
ads on an ongoing basis).
This can be a nice little source of free traffic and exposure
for your website/ebook/ezine but, if not handled properly it can
have its downside.
The biggest problem is that, by joining a whole plethora of
ezines your mail box risks becoming very crowded very quickly,

In my opinion, Electronic Magazine (Ezine) advertising is the
greatest, untapped source of online advertising available today.
The reason: Ezine Advertising (EA) matches your product or idea
to people with similar interests.
Example: who better to sell your health product to than a large
group of people subscribed to a health newsletter? Or, you could
pitch a business opportunity to a group already subscribed to
another ezine about MLM and Biz Ops!

lower than their own.
I'm frequently approached by other website owners who it's clear

Do you feel bewildered when you begin an Ezine Advertising
campaign?
I do.
Take 'The Free Directory of Ezines', for example. There are over
800 Ezines in the Directory that accept paid ads. How do you
decide which Ezines to place your ad in?
There are several factors that narrow down the choice for me.
First, I look at the subscriber numbers. If an Ezine has less
than 400 subscribers, I move on.
Then I look at the Publication Dates. I prefer to advertise in
Ezines that are published weekly, or ...
