Free directories are a mixed bag of nuts. Most have few if any cached pages, pass no link juice and have zero traffic. Needless to say a waste of time. A few however are worth your time and effort but I put a strong emphasis on a few. Just go to the topic page you will be listed in and see if it’s cached and recently. If it’s not don’t waste your time.
I disagree, there are some very good free directories around. My friend has www.yhay.com, that has almost 40K backlinks. A lot of paid directories don't have that many.. This is just one example, I believe that there a few others too. ~ Razvan
I would have to agree. But quite a bit of wait time there, and even after that, u never know if your site will get listed.
most free directory that got PR higher than 3+ are worth to submit. but be careful of those dropped domains directories though.
DMOZ may be the best free directory IF you can get in. But who wants to deal with that kind of horrific customer service?
Dmoz, thats no brainer of course right next to mine my directory i know, sorry about the page offcenterness <---- is that a word lol im getting that fixed soon.
