I've seen a lot of people recommend submitting your sites to directory services, but which paid directory services are worth submitting to? I'd be interested in free services as well however I think paid would probably give better results - am I right in this thinking? Anyways what are your top 15-20 directories you submit to?
We submit our directories to both free and paid on a daily basis Top 15-20 Directories is subjective, but a top directory will offer a number of value added benefits and will be continuing to promote and market the directory to provide better services.
It really depends on your budget. However if I had to choose some of the best would be http://dir.yahoo.com/ http://www.botw.org/ http://www.joeant.com/ http://www.goguides.org/ http://sbd.bcentral.com/ http://www.gimpsy.com/ http://www.business.com/ http://www.uncoverthenet.com/ I also like http://www.illumirate.com/ which is free
If that was about my directories suggestion, no I didn't miss them. No offense but there is a huge gap between the ones I posted and those two, the same of course is true for my directory as well compared to the ones in my first post.
Thanks dkessaris - Yes I'm not looking for someone to come push their own directory service, but more of a list of directories that people first think of when they get ready to start a site. The smaller individual ones I'll worry about later, however I'm wanting to go after those "I HAVE to submit to these first" kind of directories.
there is a ton of advertisments concerning services that will submit your site to directories. Has anyone used one to there satisfactioin or do you simply have to do it all yourself a little at a time?
Here are some of the directories I like to submit new projects to: dir.yahoo.com sbd.bcentral.com joeant.com goguides.org gimpsy.com uncoverthenet.com wowdirectory.com site-sift.com umdum.com directory.v7n.com alivedirectory.com 01webdirectory.com octopedia.com linkopedia.com botw.org
www.site-sift.com www.avivadirectory.com www.octopedia.com www.alivedirectory.com www.2yi.net www.smittyzweb.com those are some of my favorites
