PLease see this thread http://forums.digitalpoint.com/showthread.php?t=479607 Looking to make this list 10,000 + free directories. Anyone else got a large list?
OK I have received dozens of requests for the list. And that is fine and will occur but first this is a request to exchange. If anyone has a list of one to two thousand I no doubt have these in the list. For me to gain new directories i need big lists of 4000 + and even then I may only gain a few hundred new ones. From a guess I would say there are probably well over 5000 + free english directories out there. A lot turn paid if they are under the umbrella of a webmaster wanting to make money out of it - many stay free if it is a resource attached to the main informative site. It is a nightmare trying to keep up. I simply use an amazing semi-auto submission program in my sig - I have added directories up to 7000. I visit digital point and info.vilesilencer to add new ones weekly. I have two staff who submit full time every day. Any directory which is now not free gets deleted and any directory with a faulty script gets deleted. They may have been fine before and I may have got some of my links in but if there is an issue now they are out! I then grab any big list I can get - preferably english and add it over the top of my list - parse out duplicates and continue as usual I can and do expect to get 10,000 english free directories within months. The whole list will be available for free in my thread once I throw a few big lists on top and I have one run through to clean it up. If you want the list prior to the clean out or you want it early it is only available in the directory submitter format so if you want to help finance this project follow the link below and start to use the software I use. It is very well maintained and I can simply send you the data base I have. The program is worth it and I will have my database sitting freehosted to thoses who can use it. I expect the project to get to a clean list of 10,000 within weeks - of course clean means about 10% bad.. sorry but thats the way this business is. I will spend the next few days placing any large list i have over the top and removing duplicates. My staff will run through the list to remove the paid and non functioning.
