How to: Add Products to the ISV Add on Product Directory (Paid ISV Members Only)

We have the goal to build the most comprehensive Microsoft Dynamics ERP ISV Add-On Directory on the web. We are actively driving traffic to these pages. In addition to your other directory listings (by company) be sure that you also add a directory listing for each of your products.

Paid members have a special “Verified” icon next to their products, and will always show at the top of the search/filter results.
