Each day this week I’m giving a tip related to computers and campaigning. The exact details of how you follow each tip will vary depending on your own situation, so if you’re not quite sure what to do by all means pop up a question in the comments.

Today’s tip: make sure your local website is listed in the main places.

Does www.libdems.org.uk list your MP/PPC’s website and your local website? (If not, contact <!–
sto_dom='libdems.org.uk'
sto_user='website'
document.write('‘ + sto_user + ‘@’ +sto_dom + ”)
//–>website – website.hat.libdems.org.uk.spam.com (this is spam bot hidden email address, replace .hat. with @ and remove .spam.com for the real one))

Are they also listed in DMOZ? (If not, click the ’suggest URL link’ and read the instructions)

Are any local Lib Dem blogs listed in Wikio? (If not, submit the blog here)

Are they also listed in the Total Politics directory? (If not, use the submit box on the right side of the page)

Answering yes to all four questions won’t result in millions descending on the Liberal Democrat sites in your areas, but it will give them a boost in various ways, such as via increased search engine traffic.

UPDATE: As pointed out in the comments, I forgot to include one of the most important pieces of advice if the site is a blog: get is listed on LibDemBlogs.co.uk.
