Free Directories
Open
Directory Project :
The Open Directory Project is the largest, most comprehensive
human-edited directory of the Web. It is constructed and maintained
by a vast, global community of volunteer editors. Admission
into this directory can take years following a website submission,
but can pay huge dividends in a websites ranking within several
search engines. When submitting your website, follow the
submission guidelines (If unsure how to submit your site,
review the listing of your direct competition for a guide).
Your submission policy should be to Submit your website and
forget about it. Expect a wait time of typically not less
than 6 months for review.

Paid Directories
Yahoo! Directory
:
The Yahoo.com Directory is one of the most important human
edited Paid Directories on the Web today. Inclusion within
this directory is not a Guarantee, but submission is Highly
Recommended.
Business.com
Directory :
With the increase in pricing to $299.00 and the simultaneous elimination of the multiple deep link benefit, we can no longer recommend the business.com website as value added directory. Rather, we recommend for an additional $299.00 investment you purchase a secondary listing in the Yahoo.com directory should your site have multiple category relevance. This can amount to multiples of total valuable links across the Yahoo.com directory network versus the modest link count and benefit afforded by the business.com directory. Further, the yahoo.com directory is only one of two directories directly recommended by Goolge.com: "Submit your site to relevant directories such as the Open Directory Project and Yahoo!, as well as to other industry-specific expert sites." So, until such time as we see a change in benefit to our clients with the business.com network, we suggest these funds are better invested with lower cost; or higher value; and highly topically themed industry specific directories.
Joeant
A very low cost directory, we have seen significant improvements
with our Tampa
website clients positioning in search when listing these client
sites into the correct categories. Well worth the investment
and very much recommended.
Best of the Web! :
One of the oldest human edited directories, the BOTW maintains
its integrity listing only quality sites within relevant topics.
Like Yahoo.com directory, inclusion is not guaranteed by payment.
A great investment for your small business website.
Site-Sift
:
Another under valued paid directory, Site-Sift can add a little
"Link Pop" to your site. We like it, we recommend
it to our clients.
GoGuides.org
:
Another under valued paid directory, GoGuides.com is well
structured, spam free, human edited and is top quality. We highly
recommend submitting your site within this directory.
