Top 12 Online Advertising Destination Websites for Fairfax County

Advertising your Fairfax County business online, on the Internet, includes several categories of spending that attracts different kinds of consumers. Fairfax County Internet Marketing effort and dollars should certainly be spent on localized global search directories (i.e. Google Maps/MSN Live), localized national directories (like DMOZ, Superpages, Resourcelinks and Yellowpages), localized national review and social media directories (like Facebook, Discoverourtown, zip.net, Yelp and Delicious) and industry-specific sites offering advertising. This review doesn't cover those resources, nor does it include government-sponsored or business-only sites like visitfairfax.org or the various area chambers of commerce.

A very effective way of quickly and reliably getting your message in front of a very targeted group of Fairfax County residents, including those in Arlington, Alexandria, Falls Church, Mclean Reston, Herndon, Burke and Centreville, is to advertise on the general, local community news and information directories, that exclusively cater to residents and businesses of the area. Most are very reasonable, tend to show up well in search listings, and drive many opportunities for cross-selling (i.e. someone finding information for neighborhoods finds real estate, home improvement or gardening supply ads).

Here's our initial take on this top 12 list of Fairfax Internet Marketing community directory sites, to be refined and updated next quarter. They're ranked according to our professional Northern Virginia Internet Marketing and SEO/SEM opinion regarding their effectiveness, exposure, page ranking and overall value in terms of local or regional businesses reaching out and attracting broad demographics among residential and business consumers. We don't include pure landing pages, SPAM sites or link farms. Note that Fairfax, with such diverse population centers and large communities, has very different online focus between the different communities, and very active sub-regional site specifically for areas like the cities or communities of McLean, Falls Church, Arlington, Herndon/Reston and Alexandria. Our list includes the broadest possible exposure for the whole of Fairfax County and close-in DC Metro regional locations in Loudoun and Prince William Counties.
