Web-Directories.ws now has 20,000 directory listings

    Web-Directories.ws has reached a major milestone and now has 20,000 web directory listings. This total has been reached after 6 years of continuously adding directories, one at a time. Most of them have been added with the help of Google searches. Users can take advantage of hours of hard work. The work is never done as I remove thousands of dead directories every year.

    Free Directories
    The most popular directories are the free general directories. There are currently 3200 of them. This list takes a lot of effort to maintain as directories continuously switch from free to paid. I appreciate all the reports I receive. It makes the job much easier. I also spend a lot of time identifying the directories that are actively adding new free listings.

    Niche and Regional Directories.
    Unlike other sites, we have a huge list of niche and regional listings. Well over 10,000. I find that some of these are quite useful for research. For example, check out the science listings. Categories like Engineering offer a great selection of resources.

    Comments are always appreciated.

    wow. you really spend a lot of time editing this. "Oct 8, 10 - They have added 10 new listings in the last 6 months." great job.

    how do you determine the order of the ads in the left margin?

    New ads are displayed at the bottom and move up whenever ads above it are not renewed.


    P.S. Thanks noobpreneur for your blog post.

    About a year ago I stopped adding same IP directory networks where someone announced "I just created 40 new directories". My main motivation is that these networks usually disappeared after a while. Most of the worst offenders are no longer in the list.

    Of the directories that are added, I periodically sort the database by IP and identify the large networks of duplicates. The data allows me to identify any new additions from the same IP on an ongoing basis.

    In general, I just point out observations about the directories. Not everyone has the same SEO beliefs, and beliefs change over time. I leave it to our users to decide if they want to submit to the directory or skip it.

    We add and delete thousands of directories every couple of months. The listings are a database of all the directories that we know of. When we delete directories we lose the history. We would also have a good chance of adding it again (but this time not knowing that it is not working properly).
