|

Whenever I start promoting any site, I pretty much submit that site to these directories:
Dmoz.org
Yahoo! Directory
JoAnt.com
I have about a 50% success rate with Dmoz.org so far. It's a fire-and-forget directory for me, I sometimes don't even check whether I'm listed.
I usually pay for Yahoo! I've never been able to get listed for free. Has anyone had any success with the free submit? |

Never really tried Yahoo! Directory. Heard too many stories of how free submit never works.
Not sure if I'm prepared to pay for a redirect link
Dmoz is almost a joke. I've waited months and months and sometimes years and nothing's come of any of my submissions. |

There are free submissions to Yahoo for non-commercial sites, and I've been able to get one or two in that way but mostly I pay for them as well.
As for paying for a redirect link that isn't so - Yahoo does do some click tracking on some links but they are otherwise static. If you spider a Yahoo directory page all the paid listings are static links.
and considering that Google still considers this an important link, it's worth the $300 submission annually.
In Terms of link building through directories I've also found Business.com a worthwhile link. It doesn't cost much and can not only provide link pop but also highly qualified leads. And with a paid listing you can also get a few deep links to your site, not just a homepage link.
As for DMOZ you can also submit deep links. I've found articles I've written listed in DMOZ that someone else has submitted. |
