Just a reminder that my free web directory list has over 1300 directories seeking submissions. I made some major changes to the directory list to improve quality and make it much easier to submit to. The list is updated 3-4 times a week at a minimum, so it is easy to find new directories. I hope you find it a good resource. Feedback is always appreciated.
Thanks for the nice comments, and especially from those with very high reps! I hope the list will be a good resource for all (new webmasters and pro's alike). I will always try to improve the list by listening to the suggestions I receive.
Why do people feel the need to re-invent the wheel? There's loads of directory lists already out. Your time might have been better spent on adding decent sites there instead. ?
I submit my sites and client sites to Web directories. The list that is posted on my site is what I personally use. If you want to bust my balls for sharing the list, go right ahead. Because in all honesty, most of the other free directory lists you speak of contain loads of paid directories, dead links, parked pages, etc. Maybe your time would be better spent busting someone elses balls?
You'd know it if I wanted to 'bust your balls'. I was simply making an absolutely legitimate observation based on the fact there are brilliant lists of directories like info.vilesilencer, directory critic to name but two.
Dan and Manish have some respected directory lists, and I have high respect for both of them. Shabu has the best paid directory list as well. In my OP I did not post a new directory list - it's been around much longer then you have been a member of this forum. And it has more free general web directories then most lists, including those you noted. If I did not know better, I would think you are trying to bump your post counts.
Given the volatile nature of the directory industry, I can only applaud your effort as it's a worthwhile contribution. Good luck and I hope that you'll continue the hardwork you are putting into this. The directory world is certainly big enough to warrant another attempt at a decent, well maintained list.
Thanks for your encouraging words deebee. My focus is on providing a clean and quality list, which as we all know is hard to do with free directories turning paid so quickly.
