Free Directories
A few days ago someone had started an awesome thread with a list of directories. This was a great tool and I have that list saved in a text file. Thanks to the author of that post.

Most of the directories on the list were paid sites however. I am looking for a list of FREE DIRECTORIES that might serve as a first step in free link development. Any posts appreciated.

joeant.com, gimpsy.com, jayde.com, dmoz.org are a few off the top of my head.

Thanks Relaxzoolander,

I am starting to see that they all cost $20 - $60 on average and that there are a whole bunch of them at that price range, which I should probably build into a base cost for all e-commerce clients.

Long List of directories
Ok, I'm not sure how valid some of these are... most are free, a few are paid:

www.jayde.com
www.ipl.com
www.vlib.com
www.illumirate.com
www.xoron.com
www.webworldindex.com
www.aardvarkbusiness.com
www.netinsert.com
www.thedirectorysite.com
www.capterra.com
www.thesoftwarenetwork.com
www.buzzle.com
www.qango.com
www.bizweb.com
www.chiff.com
www.dc2net.com
www.mavicanet.com
www.monemission.com
www.searchtheweb.com
www.topsearch.com
www.turnpike.net
www.websavvy.cc
www.worldhot.com
www.joeant.com
www.skaffe.com
www.gimpsy.com
www.goguides.org
www.qango.com
www.linkopedia.com
www.allestra.com
www.americasbest.com
www.arieles.com
www.azoos.com
www.directory-search.org
www.mastersite.com
www.pharos-search.com
www.sunstream.com
www.webworldindex.com
www.business.com

This is just the beginning... there are many more market-specific directories out there as well. I'm not suggesting that anyone submit to all of these sites, as I haven't checked into the value of each site. Its just a starting point :-)

I haven't had much time to check these out but this is a directory of directories

http://www.isedb.com/

Honestly I dont think the 50bux you spend on a directory is very worth it. Considering you'll only convert a handful of users since directories dont recieve that much traffic. Spend the 50 bux in adwords or overture. Less $ per conversion. No SE puts any special interest on your site because your submitted to some directory. Most are all low PR with redirect you-to-hell-and-back links.

I personally put less value on a directory that makes you pay for a listing. What is the money for??? I know! To pay the server bills because the advertising on the site doesn't get any traffic or clicks. Joeant.com is garbage, dmoz is garbage, Yahoo is garbage. Directories are a thing of the past and they'll end as old news just like webrings very soon.
