Best "paid" web directories

Discussion in 'Directories' started by thefanta, Apr 7, 2007.

    Hi there

    Thousands and thousands of free directories out there.

    I was wondering whether anyone else out there can recommend a paid directory that has benefited them by driving extra traffic to their site.

    Personal experiences of ones that work would be nice!

    Thanks

    Anthony

    Directories dont help much in traffic sense..

    Even though you can get traffic if you buy featured links..

    Aviva, directorydump and alive directory are great.

    The only one directory that drives traffic to your site is Dmoz

    but some times Aviva and Alive also bring you some traffic!

    I had seen a lot of Promotion of a Directory some time back,
    http://www.site-sift.com
    donno whether it is still good
    But I think
    Gii.in, Alivedirectory.com, Avivadirectory.com and www.romow.com are good paid directories ;)

    Yikes really? All the hits i see from dmoz is just my own clicks i make when i am browsing dmoz for fun. Plus most traffic comes from google searches though not via directories.

    Cheers

    If you have the resorces for spending go to Malcolm's List. There you will have all the JUICE you need. All are THE BEST in TERMS of VALUE. You will never lose. Some suggestions are good here but they don't offer what the MALCOLM LIST Offers.

    When submiting to paid directories it is really about finding the balance of 'value', price vs. the benifit your recieve. There are lots of good paid directories out there worth submiting too. As for free directories look for the ones with unique templates and owners that promote them, they will likely turn paid in the future but it is nice to get in when they are free.

    To be honest, the unique template aspect is very well applicable for paid directories also..

    For sure, any directory that is being promoted well, will give you good results in future..
