List of top directories

Directories are used by people looking for popular sites on a particular topic. If you want people searching for your topic to find your site, you will need to have your site listed in the main directories related to your industry. If you’re not there, people will not find you. It is impossible to list all directories as the number continues to grow.

A secondary benefit of being listed in directories is that the major search engines will see that your site is associated with a particular category and associate you with that category. In addition, the more relevant links you get to your site, the higher your search engine ranking.

Directory submission

Most directories are human-edited, which means that your submission will be evalutated by the owner of the directory and categorised in relation to its content. Directories have several types of listings, which determine the speed at which your site will be listed and the prominence on the site:

• Free submission
• Reciprocal link
• Paid submission
• Featured or pormotional listing
• Affiliate link
