Hi Robert,

GetListed.org is probably the best. It not only tells you which directories to get listed in, it also verifies when your business has been listed.

The directories on GetListed.org are great, then any other industry specific or local business directories you can get into will make complete sense to Google when crawling. It starts to become a sketchy area when you start adding your website to random or generic directories... some are OK, you just don't want to over do it in the generic ones.

Hope this helps.

LAME! You may just want to let the 301 redirect you have in place take its course or remove the URL from Google's index since it was added by mistake anyway.

If that does not work, give this a whirl:

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !\.[a-zA-Z0-9]{3,4}

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !/$

RewriteRule ^(.*)$ $1.html

Maybe give this a whirl:

If URL does not contain a period or end with a slash

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !(.|/$)

append .html to requested URL

RewriteRule (.*) /$1.html [L]

"I accidentally manually submitted the url to google and manually in submitted it to index and that when this issue began...."

It sounds like you accidently added this URL to the index. You can follow the procedure outlined below to request Google remove the specific URL from the index:

I checked your site's structure using Screaming Frog and it does not appear that you are linking to any non-.html versions. If I perform a scan using one of your non-.html pages, it appears that it only links to itself.

Since you have the 301 redirect in place, you can choose to wait it out and Google should correct things eventually; otherwise, requesting Google remove the URL is a faster... PERMANENT process.

Good luck.

Mike
