Best Web directories

I know this topic comes around periodically, so I thought I'd mention that I'm compiling an up-to-date list of the best directories for SEO purposes:

http://www.platinax.co.uk/webmasters/articles/6/

Just FYI.



EDIT:

Whoops - should've posted it in Directories - and this list is more comprehensive than the list I had at SEO lab, as mentioned in this thread:
http://forums.digitalpoint.com/showthread.php?t=144

I can't edit my original post there, unforunately.

 

Well done!

I found a few in there I had not submitted to yet.

BTW......know of any good sources to place run-of-site text ads?

Thanks I Brian, I would of prefered direct links to submissions and perhaps some knowledge as to whether they were free or not, i.e.:

http://www.192directory.co.uk - paid only

http://www.4intrepid.com/cgi-bin/search/addurl2.cgi - requires backlink

https://www.ajdee.com/cgi-bin/LinksSQL/add.cgi - requires 1 dollar payment...

 

Some will accept free submissions, or reciprocal links, while also offering paid for "premium submissions". But, undeed, I should provide that info - I'll look to amend that.

 

what about this one instead:

Here's another:

I'm missing JoeAnt.com?

 

Nice to see my new directory on that list.

I would actually like to see a list of directories that allow "anchor text" to me this would be more valuable.

 

Hi,

You can also check Strongest Links Directory listing @ http://www.strongestlinks.com/directories.php for some useful information.

Cheers!

Brian:

I recently put about 40 more hours into:

What web directories should I submit to?

I am pretty sure that you will want to check this out.

Will:

40 hours into posting or creating the site?

That's a good list, Will.

You might also like to consider adding my baby:
http://www.platinax.co.uk/directory/

Note - I've also added prices to my original list, and updated it umpteen times as I've submited, taken away, and added.

 

I've just submitted my free/ no recip directory to you Will:

http://www.smallbusinesspro.co.uk

PR0 at the moment but it should improve greatly on the next update

 

Brian:

That's the trouble with these pages, the updates are maddeningly endless. I have (to my knowledge) the largest and most up-to-date list on the Internet, yet I also have a huge queue still to process.

I've added Platinax to two categories. It's the first entry to be treated that way, but it seemed like the right thing to do.

I also added your list of best directories to the "Directories of Directories" category.

Luckily, I don't have to list prices, as I only list free directories.

My attitude is "pay directories can pay to advertise". Let them use AdWords.


leeds1:

Your new directory has also been added.

 

Any knowledge of what percentage of these pass page rank? That info would be good to have....but hey, your list is great by itself.
I appreciate it.

 

I try to mark each one which I know does not pass page rank with comments.

 

Will, you say:

When you become an editor for JoeAnt.com (also works for GoGuides), you can submit as many sites as you want for free. Just sign up and you're in.

Hugo

 

Good call, Will.

And it is a good list - I will definitely have to mine through that in more detail.

Anyway, I added it in my forum as one of the major directory resources.

 

Are all these FREE and do not require recriprocal links??

 

looks like it...
