Forum Only Directories - Here's 37 - Any more?

FORUM SPECIFIC DIRECTORIES

I've compiled a nice little list of SEO-friendly FORUM-ONLY directories where forum owners can submit their board to be listed at no cost. I hope many forum folks here will find this list useful and help me add more forum-only directories to the list. Enjoy!

great post. wish i had some to add for you!

 

Thanks man, was looking for some forum directories.

 

Great list, I just submitted to almost all of them!

 

dude, great post.

 

Sorry to bump this thread again, but I submitted my forums to all of these last night and woke up to about 15 approval emails this morning, almost every category I submitted to showed PR (1 or 2 or 3) and some of the emails I got were hand written responses, I'm looking forward to some actual traffic from these directories.

 

Nice list, gamecock

did you submit your forum(s) to all these directories ? If yes, what was the approval rate ?

 

I like that post! Just added my forum to a few of them

 

I've been documenting the forum directory submission to keep track of them, so look here for the latest results:
