which of the directories helped you the most?

hey all,

the subject says it all: i'm interested to hear which of the directories helped you the most (in terms of traffic). both paid and free.

thanks

Back when Yahoo! was the king, it helped me alot. But now it's DMOZ because many web sites use the directory listings on their sites. So it's like getting extra links just for being listed on DMOZ.

 

Frankly, the only directory I've seen much traffic from has been http://www.kwikgoblin.com . Most traffic is comining from recip links.

 

I've been listed in Yahoo for years and I can't say I see that much traffic, but its probably due to the industry. Greenstalk has sent me a little, as has the wow directory. The Ski-jungle directory (recip link) has also sent some. Directory traffic is always sporadic for us at best but I'll take whatever I can get.

 

top 2 directories 4 me are http://directory.xperts.ro/ and http://www.deep-directory.com/index.php also these two directory list have brought me some traffic http://www.info-sales.co.uk/directory_D.htm and http://www.submitservices.com/phtml/Free_Submissions/

 

i guess dmoz....for the back links.

 

as for me, i am listed in dmoz but i don't see much traffic coming from it at all. there might be some traffic coming from other directories powered by DMOZ, but it does not seem significant. i guess the major benefit is that DMOZ listing indirectly helps Google rankings

i am contemplating a listing in yahoo but it's just too expensive and there does not seem to be a great benefit in it.

i am also looking at business.com and sbd.bcentral.com but i hate their category structure and i have no idea how they can bring traffic if it's hard to find what you are looking for within these directories themselves (either by drilling down the category tree or doing an internal search).

 

To me uncover the net and abilogic are the traffic bringing directories.

 

DMOZ, wowdirectory and skaffe.

 

Do you think that yahoo directory is worthy to invest 270$?

 

Only if the editor lists you in the right category with the right title

 

I haven't ever gotten any traffic from directories-

 

I think directory listing is good for back link generation than traffic.
