Directories Worth Investing Into..

Discussion in 'Directories' started by EGS, Mar 16, 2007.

  1. #1
    I've compiled a small list of web directories that are worth investing into. My list is small for the businessman on the budget, as one submission into each of the directories listed below will ring quite a total cost.

    dir.yahoo.com - PR8
    AliveDirectory.com - PR7
    BOTW.org - PR7
    AvivaDirectory.com - PR6
    LinksFactory.net - PR6
    LinksJuice.com - PR6
    Site-Sift.com - PR6
    SevenSeek.com - PR6
    GoGuides.org - PR6
    Joeant.com - PR6
    dir.v7n.com - PR6
    UncoverTheNet.com - PR6
    wowdirectory.com - PR5

    Is PageRank the primary benchmark you're using to determine the value? Just wondering, as I see the list is ordered by PR.

    A little bit, as these sites seem to be valued/appreciated a lot more to search engines. :)

    page rank is one of the biggest factors, but then we also expect some traffic, my pr3 webdirectory is also good, but then i would have been happier if it was pr5 or more........:rolleyes:
    anyways, thanks for that list,

    To a directory, PR is the key factor for sure.

    I'll just say three facts. Yahoo! values its directory so much that it'll dramatically increase your keyword rankings within specific keywords that you specify by purchasing a link in their directory.

    BOTW seems to be like Google's paid version of DMOZ (the way they value it ;)). AliveDirectory is getting up there and with the promotion and marketing the directory it gets, it is well worth submitting into.

    Can you expand a bit more on how these are valued more to SEs?

    Please don't take this as a challenge as it is not intended to be. I'm sincerely interested in what would make these more valuable.

    Never mind... a see a few others beat me to the post!

    Google Links for my site.

    Hate to disagree with you on this mate but I bought a BOTW link and it doesnt show on front of my best links. See Links Quitters that is a PR4 made in late 2006 my link submitted on January. My link in BOTW submitted in February not even in front page.

    The company serves in whole State of Maryland Look at Google at how it fares.

    DirectoryDump.com
    Elegantdirectory.com
    Forplex.com
    ewebpages.org

    Regardless of direct effect directories directly impact search engines, and many ( and it's growing ) directories rank by PR.

    So regardless of direct impact there is impact.

    Indeed a good list, my directories are listed on many of them and will now cover up whole of your list but here I would like to add two more directories, Elegant Directory and Romow Directory which are really worthy for investment and a valuable resource.

    Are you saying that high pr directories rank higher on the search engines than lower pr directories? If so, I can not agree with that statement.
