List of directories

There are loads of directorys on the net and most arent useful

So apart from dmoz.org, which directories should i make sure i submit to?

I went to Yahoo, type in search directories and submitted my site to all of them. I've built up quite a few reciprical links now and other sites (which I've never heard of!) are linking to my sites.

It's a big job, but seems to work.

 

Schlottke, how do we submit our sites to the links you gave?

 

Try http://www.websavvy.cc/. It's free and search engine friendly. They also have a syndication system that will end up giving listings multiple links/exposure. There is a bit of a queue for listings in categories without editors, so patience is advised.

 

Its lists of directories... look at the pages content.

 

Good find!
I have used this one too. http://www.isedb.com/html/Web_Directories/ Tons of directories too.

 

You could also take a look at Joeant and Bluefind. They both cost $40 (one-time fee). Bluefind is brand new and they added my site within a couple hours while Joeant took a couple days.

http://www.bluefind.com
http://www.joeant.com

 

Does blue find even count as a backlink? The home page is pr8, the rest are pr0 and php pages.
When I pay to get into a directory my requirements are:
Will I get a backlink out of it? (extra traffic through increased SE rankings)
Will SE's spider the link and the page? ( will the page with my listing even show up in SE's?)
Page rank matters little to me on a paid inclusion, but a pr0 on the page I'm paying for inclusion makes me suspicous that I'd be wasting my money.

 

If it is indexed by google, I see no reason why anyone wouldn't pay the $40 to get indexed.

 

Every level or tier from the homepage is one PR rank less than the previous. So if you get a listing one level deep in Bluefind, it should be PR7, 2 levels PR6, etc. This is how DMOZ works too.

Bluefind is brand new so I'm thinking that the pages PR have not shown up yet and will during the next update.

 

Home page pr8, all other pages pr0.
If I'd have the time I check it for spiderability.
I think Bluefind has been through two Pr updates. I bacame and lost a pr7 rank since bluefinds existance.

 

If GG has no problem spidering it, it gets plenty of traffic, and has categories related to my niches; 40usd is no problem. I'll wait untill the next update.

 

I believe GG updated PR, yet bluefinds subpages remain at 0
I hate when people hipe behind php, include pages, robot=no follow, and Javascript or whatever else done to "hide the link" purely for SEO purposes only.

 

"purely for SEO purposes"?

it's not like outbound links adversely affect your PR or other SEO aspects. I mean, look at dmoz.

 

Anyone know of any really good real estate directories?

 

If you give up a homepage link: www.top-real-estate-agents.org ---- good decent PR passthrough and very few links on the pages.

For everyone: www.seopark.com --- she's a virgin now, but she'll be a real beauty in a few months!

Gee - wonder whose sites those might be?

 

Thanks for the list of directories. Hadn't used some of them yet.

 

I'm working on a list of directories here.

Just got started a couple of days ago, feel free to submit any directories that you know of to the appropiate catagory. I've split the listings into 3 sections: Free, No Recip Link Required, Recip link required & Paid Listings.

If you check the list today it's small. If you you happen to read this post 2 months from now the list should be more substantial
