A better way to assess the quality of directory links

    Directories that rank high in the SERPS for a certain keyword provide not only targetted traffic but also a quality relevent backlink. This is the kind of links Google recommands in its guidelines. So If you want to submit your real estate related website, instead of choosing the directory with highest PR, you should choose the directory that ranks best for that specific keyword.

    I used the Google custom search to restrict the search on directories. So far 1277 directories are listed.
    Strongest Directories for the Shopping Niche
    Strongest Directories for the Real Estate Niche
    Strongest Directories for the Jewelry Niche
    Strongest Directories for the Celebrities Niche

    You can do this search for any keyword you are targetting using the
    Directories Link Quality Search: http://tools.enquira.com/link-quality.php

    Your feedback is appreciated.

    Isn't my directory nobledirectory.com in the list?

    I rank well for some nice niche directory words in google, and am no where here.
    Can i know about it?

    I used the list from vilesilencer. Yours was not included in the list, I just added it now.

    The results returned are from google.com, I see romow in firsrt position for medical. I think CSE only shows the results that rank high enough in the normal serps.

    no directory is excluded, paid and free. Only those listed in vilesilencer are so far in included (1200+) I will try to add more directories from directorycritic.

    could you mention some of the directories that should rank high for real estate, I will add them and see the results.

    I think it would be a lot easier for you to create a sort of submission form so people can add their own directories.

    I will probably do that but I will start by adding directories listed in large lists,this will save a lot of time.
    I noticed that penalized directories don't show up even for their own url unlike in regular google.com.
