Hi Guys

Just asking for your feedback in identify the not obvious, but credible site directories?

Thank you

I don't recommend directories as you are asking to be hit by a penalty. The way to look at it is as follows : Would you go to the directory to find the business ? If no then don't bother listing, it can be helpful on directories like yell & yahoo etc. but due to the price it may be worth looking else where to make sure you get a good return.

I agree most directories are no good and will incur penalties.

My question is if anyone could recommend any credible directories which maybe we've not come across. Their are many advertising companies who provide good exposure such as scoot, the independent, thompson local…we only use a handful.

Thank for your feedback

Completely agree with Chris.

What's the point now a days of a directory? Even paid ones (and good ones) like Yahoo's... People don't search in directories...

Unless of course you are listed (naturally) in a directory that only lists "Ducati Parts" if you were selling Ducati parts, and still I'd ask for that link to be nofollowed.

A solid link profile which contains variety, within your industry niche, can sometimes be beneficial. Directory submissions is pretty much dead. However my question was to ask "if" there are any creditable directories anymore. Although we think not, if never hurts to ask the question.

If a directory has good page rank, there may be some value there, but that needs to be tested and proven.

If there is a good directory of directories, this is it:
