We are now actively submitting to specific and general directories, but we wonder if we could be doing more. Are there any really good paid directories out there? Cheers, [Mod Edit: please use CP for sig editing]
bCentral is the only one I submit to for now. The same question was asked a couple of days a go. Have a look in the Directories forum to find it with more suggestions.
I used to think yahoo would be worthwhile but I have two sites that are listed in Yahoo (and have been for a while) that get barely any traffic at all... they haven't been noticed by Google yet. (At least not in terms of PR and actually showing up on normal queries.)
try yahoo directory. it's best for yahoo rankings. and also try to purchase some text links related and must be relevent to your site with good pr site.
Submit to niche directories and reciprocate links with sites that show 50% or better Similar Pages for your industry (using Google toolbar). Here's a few excellent niche directory sources for you. http://www.web-directories.ws/Niche/ http://www.directorylist.org/niche-directories/ http://www.incominglinks.com/ We have over 250+ spider friendly directories (both free and paid) in our tutorial.
