Top 5 Web Directories you should know about

If you own a website and are interested in driving more traffic to it, here are 5 online directories you should be aware of:

1:  DMOZ, widely recognized as the Granddaddy of online directories.

2: JoeAnt:  Born of the desire to provide relevant results in a wide variety of topics, and seeks to work by forming a 'community' of editors where anyone interested can join in.  Re-launched in August 2002 following an extensive site rebuild that recreated the back-end to enable the directory to be indexed by search engine spiders

3; Yahoo Directory: The directory wasYahoo!'s first offering. When Yahoo! changed to crawler-based listings for its main results in October 2002, the human-edited directory's significance dropped, but it is still being updated. The Yahoo! Directory offers two options for suggesting websites for possible listing: "Standard", which is free, and a paid submission process that offers expedited review.

  1. Yes - these are good directories to be aware of. Do you think the ones that charge for the service are worth the cost?
