Thread started by back in October 2009 asked for directory lists; several replies (including , and ) suggested broad searching and directory submission, and later closed the thread to curb spam. Directory submission tactics have changed a lot since then. Mass submissions to generic, low-quality directories are low ROI now and can even attract penalties. The useful role for directories today is narrow: provide real users, authoritative citations, or trusted category placement (industry associations, local chambers, review sites, vetted resource pages).

Practical checklist to vet a directory:

  • Editorial control: human review and clear moderation policies indicate higher quality.
  • Relevance: tight category fit or industry focus beats general link farms.
  • Visible traffic or real user engagement (not just a link list).
  • Low outbound-link density and reasonable site design (HTTPS, no obvious spam).
  • Clear contact/ownership info and a removal/contact mechanism.
  • No bulk-payment-for-links schemes or automated mass-acceptance.

Simple workflow that produces value:

  1. Audit existing citations and remove obvious duplicates or low-quality entries.
  2. Prioritize a short vetted list: local listings, industry directories, and major review/aggregator profiles.
  3. Prepare unique listing copy and consistent NAP (name, address, phone) formatting; include images and a concise description that helps users.
  4. Submit manually where possible, track submissions in a sheet, and monitor referral traffic and indexing over several months. Remove or nofollow listings that provide no traffic and look spammy.

Strategic alternatives and cautions: editorial links from niche blogs, resource pages, partnerships, guest contributions, and content that attracts natural links typically outperform directory links. Given the spam history on this thread (see ), the safest approach is quality over quantity: invest time in a few well-chosen directories that send users or provide authoritative citations, and redirect bulk submission effort into content and outreach.

Search in Google for top directories. Its a fact that not all web directories are considered valuable by Google, but some are still considered as good resources to web listings.

You can get quick results using search engines. To find keyword related directories search using this allinurl:directory"internet marketing" , you will find lots of directories. Look for free directories and aim for high PR directories.

Closing this discussion before it becomes too much of a breeding ground for spammers.
