Directories that seem worthy to me

in no particular order:

1. DMOZ
2. StartingPoint
3. Yahoo
4. JoeAnt
5. GoGuides
6. Linkopedia
7. BestoftheWeb

do you agree?
any others you would add?

 

What criteria are you using to assess the 'worthiness' of these directories

 

No -- what are your criteria for inclusion / exclusion?

 

Besides number of post do you need some Red Rep too ? You should read some post about SOME of YOUR directories mentioned.

 

for me a free back link from a PR 0 Directory is worthy enuff.

 

Ooops-- I am doing great without even visiting any of the directories (except Yahoo --but it was for another reason) mentioned.

Check Aviva's strongest directory list--you would be much wiser.

 

Well you need to keep looking a little more friend...

Today we have directories out thier that run loops around most
of your list except for 1 or 2...

thx

ok, please post them.

 

I suggest you have a good look around this forum and find them for yourself

 

I would add:
ZoomInfo
Gimpsy
wowdirectory
netinsert

I would remove:
GoGuides

... sorry, forgot one more to add: Exactseek.

Never had first hand experience with any of those listed, so cannot say how they help or worthy to myself.

Cheers

 

Waoo ... Great list .. Thanks for sharing ... I was looking for such a list for the past few months ... You made my day ... etc etc

What else you want for this post ??

Exactly what I would be saying being a bit serious

 

Can you post a reply to this question please
Thanks

 

5 of the directories he listed are 7.5+ on avivas list and the other 2 are 6.5 and 5. What would he be wiser about since aviva lists them as some of the top directories (which is exactly what he is saying anyway)?

Which directories are these? Surely the most important factors in a directory are traffic and page strength, how many directories can you name with more traffic and page strength than the ones above, just interested.

 

Yes you are right in that these are the most well known directories,but that doesn't mean there the best,or value for money

For example starting point I look at there categories directory and there is no pr,ok pr is updating so it might be that,but It's not even in cache, so from a submitters point of view what value would I get from submitting to them?

Next one I look at was joe ant, one click from home page into computer category, and It has pr4, which is ok but there are ppl that have had a directory for as little as 8 months and can match that, me included

So yes they are well known but value for money no well not with the ones I just said anyway.

Edit:Actually I just looked at joeants prices and are pretty good so I take that back about value for money

 

Hmm the spt directories category looks cached to me..

 

I don't rate Joeant my detail page is supplemental so is my category page:

http://www.google.co.uk/search?sour...&rls=GGLJ,GGLJ:2006-50,GGLJ:en&q=seoco+joeant

No sign of any PR even 1 or 2 levels up from my category, well and truely burried, I'm suprised the links even got spidered, Starting Point doesn't give you any anchor text choice which makes it less beneficial, Aviva and Alive should certainly be on the list.

 

thank you for the reply, I will check those out.

not really, are you trying to increase your post count with worthless posts like this one? thanks

weren't you doing a web search there rather than a directory search though?

 

You'd realize now that a Smart A like you would be penalized for bumping consecutive post.

 

not my goal here bro, thanks for the reply.
