Big List of Directories - And are they worth it?

Website Directories are said to be a good way to get backlinks to your website, but are they actually worth the time it takes to submit to them?

There are loads of directories on the internet. It only takes a simple search on Google to find some, but you normally find that big directories such as Dmoz.org take over, and some of the smaller ones such as Sitedir.net struggle to reach decent places in the Search Engines.

Chances are you found some directories from forums, advertisements or maybe even directories of directories. These are the main places that Directory Owners target.

Advantages

• More Backlinks
• Possibly More Traffic
• Search Engines could find you quicker

Disadvantages

• Often crowded, so its difficult to see your link
• Normal people don’t search directories for results
• Might take a while to approve the link
• Takes a lot of time to submit to mass directories

Although there are more disadvantages than advantages, directories are still worth it. Although it takes a while to do to make a big affect, it is time well spent because eventually, if you submit to enough directories, it could just affect your PageRank in a positive way.

There is one way that you could make sure your link is crowded in with the rest though. Most directories have a Featured Link option where your link will be displayed at the top for a small fee.

Anyway, now that you know that these are worth it, you might want a list of directories that you can submit to. Here you go:
