Use Directory Rating Websites to Find Top Directories


Paid directory submissions can be scary.

Unlike submitting to free directories, it’s way more stressful to send a Paypal payment to the owner of a web directory and never really know if your site will ever be listed. Most web directories appear to be lifeless, and you don’t know if the webmasters that manage them are still actively accepting submissions.

So you fill-up their form, make a payment, and wait for a response. A week passes, then a month, and eventually you’ll forget about checking if your site is listed. Not to mention that by now you’ve already submitted to so many paid directories that you can’t keep track of them all. What a way to waste cash.

Isn’t there a better way to find directories worthy of your hard-earned money?

This is where directory rating sites play an important role. Simply put, these sites attempt to find, organize and rate the thousands of free and paid directories available on the Internet.

Here are two of them:

Directory Rate

directory-rate

DirectoryRate.com allows you to rate the top directories, so you can read other people’s ratings and experience before you decide to submit. It’s also easy to see which directories are active, and the overall SEO power of each. The site assigned it’s own rating system, and the active directories will display this rating on their sites.

Directory Critic

DirectoryCritic.com works the same way. When a directory gets listed high here, it’s providing social proof that they have an active submission process, and you can even get testimonials of how much traffic to expect from your submissions. It’s a win-win situation for the directory owners and for you.

If you submit your blog to a directory via these services and get good service, make sure you go back to the sites and submit your own rating or review. This would help other webmasters find good web directories. You can also share your list via StumbleUpon or other social bookmarking sites.

If you own a directory, consider listing your site in these sites and instantly improve your reputation and daily submissions.

    Well I tend to manage my directory with an iron fist. I edit alot of the submissions so that my submitters link to a well laid out site. The featured premium links get an almost instant approval as long as guidelines are adhered to.

Got something to say?
