Directories good for Google

Besides Yahoo and Dmoz (and free)

[Gonzalez]

Hi everybody,

With Google droping recips, it seems to me that it will get difficult to get inbound links for our sites. This is a dog's world and nobody will give nothing away with no return.

So I think good listings on directories will be a good way (as it allways was) to boost a new site's ranking.

Do you guys have any suggestions on good directories (on Google's perspective) to be listed, besides legendaries Yahoo and Dmoz?

Do a DMOZ (or probably better) Google directory search for "directories"

Hi vitaplease

Well, I did it. But SERP's don't mention if they are good or not. For example, there are tons of Dmoz mirror sites and I read somewhere on previous messages that they are considered as mirrors (duplicate content).

Or search for Directory of course :)

and then regional then directory/directories eg Antartica Web Directory :)

Plenty of them out there

The mirros of DMOZ use the exact same data as the ODP, they use the RDF dump.

Look in the Google directory (quicker than the ODP) and then navigate to the directories category and then submit to the ones listed there.

Directories that appear high in Serps should be the better ones by nature.

And of course looking at page rank is important.

I tend to prefer directories that will link to my site directly rather than a redirect script. We're talking small directories in this case.

Adding "topic keyword" to your search for "directory" or "directory" does OK too, dependong on the topic though ;)

if an example is OK, search for "webmaster directory" as an example, I'm sure the first 1000 results will contain directories that WW would fit into.
