I am trying to find high quality directories to submit links, finding it really hard to find them!!
Has anyone got any advise for seeking out such sites! I have tried the tool within SEOMOZ but to be honest did not really work that well!
thanks

Hi Diane. Its not $20 per url but per campaing. For free you can submit into 150 directories. For 20$ you can submit into all the directories in the program database.

just been looking at fast submitter which charges $20 a url. has anyone used this and if so is it any good, did anyone notice a difference to traffic and ranking

Thanks Keri

Here's a recent post about best practices for link building with directories that might help you.

Fast dir. submitter allows you to specify several titles and descriptions and to change them during the process. I think it would be better to submit to few directories per day with random titles and descriptions.

Hey, Thanks for the link
is it ok to submit your site to almost any directories you can find? or does Google look at it as spaming or something ?Daniel

Thanks that is a great help.
Regarding Majestics, I really cannot afford to pay for any other seo tools at the moment!
Cheers

You need to do abit of research to create a solid list. (1) Search for "directory website lists" on google. Probably the best but most time consuming. (2) You can also have a go at this site - http://www.linkbuilderstoolkit.com/ however there will be a few expired sites since it hasnt been updated in a while. (3) Another way is to view your clients Google Webmaster Tools account and pull the external links pointing to the site. Then use Majestics Clique Hunter to compare with other similar competitors to find new linking opportunities. Hope this helps, Vahe

Paid Directory Links
To my surprise, I couldn't find a clear answer to the questions "Do paid directory links violate Google guidelines?" I know Matt Cutt's recently had a video on paid links, but it didn't really cover paid directory links. Are well-curated directory sites that charge for inclusion violate Google's guidelines? A good example would be the business.com directory.

Why does my aged Yahoo Directory listing not show up as link in OpenSiteExplorer?
A site of my is in the yahoo directory (3dprinter.net). It's been there for a long time. I just went into OpenSiteExplorer to see where the link ranked, and it's not there. Why would not not show up? And if it doesn't show up, is it even worth my money to do for other sites?

Automatic Directory Submissions
I was talking to someone about automatic directory submissions with someone lately, and would love the thoughts of the community here. Basically, the thought was that automatic directory submissions wouldn't get flagged by Google, because they're directories, not necessarily spam links. Is this still true in a post-penguin world? He hasn't seen any negative effects from it yet, but I'm still cautious. My thoughts would be not to depend on the automatic submissions, but to use them as a supplement. If a handful (maybe 50/mo) of directory links could be submitted automatically, that could free up more time for content development and promotion, which is where I believe the real value lies. It would also help skeptical clients feel better about having a certain number of links. So, what have you seen so far? Is this dangerous, safe, or fairly pointless?

Directories are Paid links right ?
How are directories ok for buying links ? How can the funds be claimed to be used to review your submission when everyone knows you are basically buying a link ? What experiences have you had god and bad with directories ? Is it a free for all any directory will do or should you be more selective in your approach. If so what are the signs to look out for on a top quality directory.

Question on Links from Directories…
Hello,
Link Building | | inhouseninja
When I do an OSE back link analyses of some sites that are listed in some directories we are considering, for almost all the directories and companies in them, the directories are listed in the OSE report, listed as followed, and usually have decent domain rank and page rank. So this means that the link from the directory is obviously being picked up by OSE and it’s listed as a followable link. My question is just because the link is picked up by OSE does that mean that the search engines value it too? Or could Google see the link ok but throw it out of the equation, presumably because it does not “like” the directory? Hope this makes sense
Thanks!0
