Let’s face the facts – in summertime, we slow down our day-to-day lives. We take leisurely walks and, unlike in the harsh winter season, we don’t rush from home to car to office and back again. We want to soak up every second of sunshine while it lasts because, unlike most aspects of our lives, the one thing that does not slow down during the summer months is time.

Each passing day is shorter than the one before, and so it’s not that surprising to find July approaching its end. With it, our discount on all directory submissions is also expiring. If you have not done so already, with four days of this month remaining, now is the time to take advantage of our July promotion.

Submitting your website to the Web Directory, UK & Ireland Directory, or the Blogs Directory during the month of July makes you eligible to save 15%. All you have to do is enter the promo code SAVE15 when prompted during the submission process. This commissionable code reduces the price of all annually-recurring listings by $22, all Lifetime listings by $60, and all monthly-recurring sponsorships by $7.

Summer still isn’t over, so there’s no need to kick your lifestyle into high gear yet, but to benefit from this discount, you’ll have to act soon; these savings will expire on Sunday. So while you’re thinking about all the things you won’t be obligated to do this weekend, take two minutes of your time to get online & submit to Best of the Web while the savings last!

While you’re contributing to the conversation, take note of our recent update: There are less than 2 weeks left to save 15% on all BOTW Directory submissions. Submit before July 31 with promo code SAVE15!

No matter what your plans are for this summer, there’s no avoiding the heat. Still, that’s no reason to waste your money by cranking the air conditioner all month long. Instead, cool down with savings from Best of the Web to help you balance out that summer heat wave.

For the month of July, BOTW is offering 15% off all directory submissions. This applies to listings and sponsorships alike, and can be used for submissions to not only the Web Directory, but the UK Directory and Blog Directory as well.

School’s out, so we won’t make you do the math – here’s what you need to know:  With this code, annually recurring listings (originally $149.95) can be submitted to any of the aforementioned directories for just $128. Submitting a listing at the Lifetime rate (originally $399.95) is only $340 with this discount. You can also sign up for a 30-day free trial when you sponsor a category and pay $43 per month once the trial period expires.

To obtain these savings on your next directory submission, simply enter the code SAVE15 when prompted during the submission process. This code is commissionable and can be used multiple times, but only during the month of July. While these summer savings might cool you down, the days are still getting shorter, so take advantage of the savings while they last and submit today!

Earlier this year we launched the Online Degree Directory which lives up to its namesake by providing a comprehensive directory of online degree programs for all fields and academic concentrations ranging from Accounting to Writing. This includes programs for Associate’s, Bachelor’s, Master’s, and Doctorate level degrees as well as continuing education certificates and diplomas.

Despite its name, however, the Online Degree Directory offers much more than a resource for finding reputable distance learning degrees. It also provides listings of top-rated, accredited online schools such as American Intercontinental University Online. The directory does not neglect the needs of traditional campus-bound students either; it includes listings for over 100 prestigious brick & mortar institutions of higher learning throughout the United States, and is constantly growing as the talented BOTW Editors add new listings to all parts of the site.

Although primarily functioning as a catalog where students can find matches in higher learning institutions and programs based on degree type or field of study, the directory also presents students with the all the tools necessary for ultimately deciding upon which program best fits their own financial, academic, and personal criteria.

The Online Degree Blog, for instance, contributes frequent updates and aims to spark discussion among readers about all things college-related. The blog posts cover every aspect of student life such as in-depth evaluations of popular majors, student expenses, extra-curricular programs, job hunting, and general guidance. Each listing and blog post within the directory also points readers to additional authoritative sources on the subject.

Whether a student feels confident that they have found their match, or is juggling several featured degree or college options,  they then have the ability to request additional enrollment and program information directly through the directory listing. Thus the Online Degree Directory not only serves as an expert resource for locating the ideal degree or university, but also helps students initiate communication that can lead to enrollment.
