What directories do you guys recommend to pay to be listed?

With so many in the web is hard to decide what directories are worth it... Anyone has suggestion?

Thanks!

Hi Elaine,

Here's an article to get you pointed in the right direction.  Be careful with directories though, as I have a feeling google is going to get tougher and tougher on them as time goes on.  http://moz.com/blog/web-directory-submission-danger

I like this article and would recommend your checking this out and follow when selecting directories because Google is very much strict when it coming to getting a link from directories (not all paid are good).

After doing all the quality checks, when choosing directories keep the users in mind, if you are paying any directory website to place your link, do you think that your targeted audience will visit the directory and find you? If yes, go for it otherwise just drop it!

Hope this helps!

Thank you to you both! The only reason why I am looking into directories is to get backlinks, I don't think people would be actually looking for me in them. So you guys don't recommend directories as part of backlinks strategy?

Thank you so much!
