SEO For The Common Webmaster

I recently compiled a good list of Free Directories and I am still adding everyday. I thought it was a good idea to start a list for paid directories also. I mostly use free directories. However, there are some advantages to paid directories. Many quality paid directory owners return much of the money they make back into the business. They do more promotion and advertising which means that your link has a better chance of being seen. The fees for paid directories vary and the quality also varies.

When looking for a paid directory, the first thing you want to look at is if the directory is very clean with a nice template. If the directory looks professional and high quality, chances are, the owner invests money into the directory. You also want to check the age of the directory. Avoid directories that are too new because they may be fly by nights who make the quick buck and then sells the directory to a new owner who removes your link.

There are tons of paid directories and many quality directory owners. I will try to include some that I have found on here. I will be adding to this list as I find paid directories. If you are a paid directory owner and wish to be listed, there are some requirements.

1. You must be the owner.
2. The site must be in English.

You can submit your directory for inclusion by leaving a comment with a link to your directory.

If you find a directory on the list that is not at least a year old or that is not working please contact me. Feel free to use this list on your blog or site if you give a link back to my blog and this post credit.

Disclaimer: These directories are in no way connected to http://seo08.com and are only provided as free information. We are not being paid advertising money to list these directories. All directories are free as of the time they were listed. We make no claims or take no responsibility for any links placed on the directories listed. You the user need to make the ultimate decision rather to list or not to list.

I have written before on SEO08 about the importance of submitting to free directories. These directories make up a majority of the back links that webmaster get for their site. Normally they are search engine friendly and you can place your site in a category where people looking for similar sites can look and find your site.

One way to list your websites and blogs quickly in directories is to write up several descriptions of your sites and than you just need to copy and paste one of them into the directory. Also make sure no matter what browser you are using, you use the function that saves your information for forms so that all you have to do is click to add all your personal information such as email, name , URL, and titles. I try to have at least four descriptions for each site so that all your listings are not exactly the same.

You also want to make sure to check your spelling and grammar. I recommend for your browser because it checks your spelling as you type and it underlines in read any spelling mistakes that you make. It is always much easier and more reliable than Internet Explorer.

I take every chance I get to list my blogs for free. I try to list my blogs in at least a few free directories everyday and recently I found a few good ones that I listed in. As I find more, I will list them here, right now, here is a few good ones to get you started:
