The following clone directories on your list are in fact not free: Demotte 411, Demotte Directory, Directory Buddy, Directory Dude, Easy Folders, Free Digital Marketing Report, HTML Easy, Indiana Finder, Jasper County Directory, Lost Traffic, Monkey Directory, Northwest Indiana Directory, Oh Goody Sites, Okay Directory, 4Hitz Directory, 4 Eye Spy, Chicken Directory, Directory Bytes, Directory Chick, Easy Eraser Pro, Easy File Lock, Easy Internet Eraser, Easy Lock It, Easy Privacy Software, Flying Popups Directory, Hot Sites Directory, Site Folders, Sliding Ads , Sloogle, Software Sells, Synergy Directory, Synergys List, Web Girl Directory, Webs Made Easy, and Web Wiz Guide Link Directory. Some more from your list which are not non-reciprocal are: Jimac Web Directory, Neorunner, and Sootle. Top Depo confused me, but appears to require you to place a piece of JavaScript on your home page. That probably disqualifies it for non-reciprocal status. Sites on Display and Max Promo are not really directories in their own right. They are just front-ends for the ExactSeek database.
i used to be a big fan of these directories, but not any more. just be careful that the directory does not use a re-direct to your site. if it does and happens to have higher pr or ibl, you will get slammed.
Look closely at the submit page. They have different payment options but you can still submit for free.
Here is the URL to the Blog that has all of these directories... http://www.overthemark.com/seoblog/item/11
How? I visited the following: 4 hitz Directory Synergys Directory Sloogle Directory Easy File Lock Directory Easy Privacy Software Directory Easy Internet Eraser Directory and only saw the paid options. Please clarify as it wasn't immediately obvious to me. But then again, I still need some coffee.
Fill out the info and click the submit button below. Those payment options are exactly what they say they are. Options for improved placement in the directories.
no problem, Iktorn, next update I do will be in 3 days when I have time off work, will add yours then
Definitely my bad... I submitted hundreds of links to this groups of directories run by OverTheMark and have had hundreds of links approved.
you can add my directory - its free and link backs are not reg. http://www.directory.just-4-teens.com/ its a kids and tens directory
That is a fairly nice list. I am cool with the fact that some of the sites may change there payment status as this allows for quick access.
just-4-teens and capebretoner, both of yours have been added. I've put the list onto a web page here now, to save people the hassle of downloading it.
Thanks for the acknowledgment , that list was lifted from my forum where I had placed it for members, it took me a long time to accumulate those directories, a lot of time and hard work actually, which is why some have gone awol or have changed to payment.
Again, thanks for this awesome thread. Will, thanks for all of the clarifications. You saved me a lot of time.
I'm not sure if someone pointed this out already, my apologies if so. Buzzle DOES have a free listing, but it only shows in search results on their site and is not listed on a directory page, making a basic listing from them basically useless for SEO purposes. Here's the page that says this: http://www.buzzle.com/suggest_basic2.asp
