    Hi directory gurus,

    Can you guys recommend a bunch of quality paid directories which have a track record of helping boost SERP rankings?

    I don't want free and useless directories, but I believe quality ones still have some worth. I plan to submit to some in the hope of improving my rankings.

    Thanks.

    Depends on what you would determine to be affordable. The majority of fly by night sites just don't have the budget to submit to top quality directories. If you believe your site is worth it, then check out this paid directory list. Granted it is a subjective list, but these directories are not core installs of PHPLD either. If you want quality, then look outside the box and for those directories with the features and reputation that will help you with your goals.

    And why would that make you tired? BTW, this is the first time I've been here in months, so I'm sorry to say I don't know why it would make you tired. In any case, you don't have to reply, since it would make you more.....tired.......?

    I am not sure what most quality directories charge, since I've only submitted to useless free ones all this while (and a waste of time it was). I do have a budget around $100 and if they charge $10, then I'll strongly consider them. I would even pay $300 to Yahoo Directory once I get more cash.

    Here are some rankings of the top paid directories.

    top paid directories
    top paid directories $10 or less
    top paid directories $20 or less

    These directories have been around as directories for over a year. Most of them have been around much longer.

    Here's a list of top value directories. It combines PR, Alexa, and price to get a value score. You can also use the search on the site to narrow the list to a price range, niche, etc. My experience is that you should start with directories in your niche, then branch out to some of the better know general directories for the most SERP benefit.

    You come back and ask the same question that's asked 1000 times everyday. Do a search or scroll down the page.

    Ridiculous

    Look mate, I've also been a long time member of this forum and maybe you're not aware that this section is about the only one worth looking at, because DP was and is known for its directory section. So it would be normal to expect these kinds of questions. You want ridiculous questions, go look at the Adsense section...enough to keep you occupied.

    Don't chase off people who could be customers of your peers, it's their livelihood (maybe not yours). I don't think you would earn any fans to your directory by being an arrogant-condescending schmuck around here, well... certainly not me.

    Good luck for your directory though. And thanks to everyone else who replied.

    No offence to CanadianEh, but knowing someone doesn't make them an authority, lol

    This authority word is almost as misused as the words seo, nofollow and pr :)
