Hi, As you know that there are many directories on the net. But it becomes very difficult to us which are the best one and most traffic generated ones. Would you give some tips for this. Regards theappreciative
Bidding directories are more likely to send traffic as their categories and homepage listings are easy to navigate to. www.bidilicious.com has a great list of them. As for general directories, its hard to say. Depends which directory, where you submit, your description etc.
I'd say you can start off with conventional methods like checking the number of backlinks pointing to the site and checking the Alexa ranking of the site for traffic. There are probably other less concrete methods available that other users can post about such as design and function and other intangibles.
some of them are listed here http://www.avivadirectory.com/strongest-directories/ and www.directoryrate.com
In my opinion, I would not give too much importance to the Alexa rank (and similar). If you look at how it works, you will easily see that an high value is not always related to a really popular site. I'd suggest you to go on looking at directories one by one and deciding by yourself if they are good or not. You will find both sites with very good layouts and ugly sites that exist only as adsense containers, directories created with the same templates and services developed from scratch by experts in web design, and so on...

Go for both directories and bid directories. There are many general directories and general bid directories. Why not start a niche (bid) directory? And if you choose bid directory remember you need a lot of traffic, mostly because, that is what we all pay for.
I have not write that bid directories is better then other directories. I personal like bid directories because you can combine to of the most important things for a website, PR and traffic. Of course you can get good PR with directories, but where is the traffic comparing to bid directories?
