Just felt that i wanted to share my findings with you .

I have been searching for many free directories and lists, and after some hardwork i found the following directories nicely worked out in accepting free ones.

Free Directories

SOC Engine - http://www.socengine.com

Human Ranked Directory Project - http://www.hrwebdir.org

Directory Lists
