When I first started doing SEO, I learned that one of the first things to do is to submit to directories.

There are a couple of reasons for this. One is that it's often free, or free with a link exchange, or, if not free, inexpensive. For a relatively small budget you can get linked from a multitude of directories fairly quickly.

Backlinks are on every webmaster's wish list but the problem for me was locating the good directories, and knowing what I was getting into. Sometimes I'd get all the way through the submission process and find that there was a fee I wasn't willing or prepared to pay. What I wanted, what I needed, was a directory of directories.

So, I'm pleased to share my new discovery with everyone. A Directory of directories!

http://www.best-web-directories.com/ not only gives you listings of directories but they rate them as well and give you a listing of free directories and the best paid directories (with fees) and niche directories as well as great information like how long it takes to get listed, the page rank of the directory, a comment or two about the directory.

I've bookmarked this site (wish I'd found this long ago) and suggest that you take a look and see what a great resource this directory of directories is.
