    Niche Directory means Directory concerned with a particular niche/topic.

    Submitting to directories dealing with your niche is far better and gives more seo value for the backlinks.

    This is a SEO niche directory, offers SEO related listings, general directories have a wider category scope.

    Thanks Brian

    Not a problem, a niche is a focused segment of a market or simply stated it is a specialized topic or focusing on specific subject.

    So when we say blog directory, it should list only Web sites classified as blogs.

    Niche Directory means If your site is related to Shopping or Travel then you should submit your site to the Shopping Directory sites or Travel Directory sites

    General directories have categories for all type of sites

    Niche directories have categories only for sites in one area, for example dating, a dating directory will contain only dites related to dating, having categories to cover all types of dating related types of websites

    A niche directory is only about one topic like cars or books will only accept sites with content of that nature. A general directory will accept websites with any kind of content.

    as others have said

    these directories are the best. they have the potential to grow faster than general directories and offer a much better experience for the end user because there is less rubbish to sift through and everything is relevant.

    Directories dealing with a specific topic instead of multiple where they list, health, business, automotive, sports etc. My new directory is an example of a niche.

    Now we run a niche directory of tea. We are all more experienced with tea industry instead of web promotion and development so we wish people here would give us advice and comment to help us grow. Thanks http: //directory.viconyteas.com

    The biggest benefit with niche directories is that the content is relevant to the subject matter. I would say a relevant niche directory is 25 times more valuable for seo than a general directory listings.

    submitting to a niche directory always is advantageous, Google values niche directories more than it values a general directory (afcourse there are exceptions to the rule, on each side of the fence.)
