Top Web Directories List That I Use Myself to Promote My Website

That’s right. I’ve decided to publish my top free web directories list, that I use to promote my website. This list consists of the most pageranked websites, that offer to submit your website for free. I’ll include Google pagerank and Alexa ranking, so that you could see its value. Since I’m using this list myself, I’m going to update it monthly or more often.

Now, below are 3 basic tips why you need to submit your website link:

1) Get you first traffic!
- Very common reason. There are lots of opinions about that. Most of them tell us that we need to write more often and more precious content. It’s actually right. But when we begin, we can’t wait. We need the result as faster as possible. I feel the same right now. I really want to see, that my website is being visited. One of the things, that can help it, is adding your website link to high-ranked web directories.

2) High-ranked web directories will raise your PR.
- That’s it. But be careful choosing those web directories. Pick up only quality ones.

3) Mostly it’s all because of traffic.
- Don’t you think that only submissions will do your PR like 5-6 or more, right? So don’t. It’s just another way to bring you some of targeted traffic.

My personal advice:

Don’t waste your time on submitting to thousands of web directories. That’s not worth it.. Focus on some hot web directories and just stop. Want to know why? Then watch Lisa’s video about this.
