Being new to SEO, I would love some input:

DMOZ, Yahoo! Looksmart directories. I understand the importance of being listed in these.

Are there any other major directories out there that I should be adding to, in order to increase quality traffic? What are the benefits?

Some Canadian Directories would be appreciated as well.

Input?

(No link Farms Please)

Have a look at ISEDB

The other major ones you can submit to are as follows:

GoGuides.org
JoeAnt
Zeal (non-commercial)
Gimpsy
HotRate (have to be an editor)
Xoron

There are usefull UK directories, we just don't know about them much here in the US. I know Lycos has a web directory for them there europeaners and ukers

Lycos Directory

also Limey Search (which is ODP+)powers many of the smaller UK searches

Thanks Aaron - I'd not come across Limey Search before.

BrianR ,

You may want to have a look at these UK directories:

dotukdirectory.co.uk
Splut.com


I get a small amount of traffic from Splut for a couple of my sites, don't know a great deal about dotukdirectory, but may be worth investigating further.

Hello,
business.com This is a very good directory. I probably feel a entry here is weighted high in google, I recommand my clients to have a paid entry here,
thanks,
VIJAY.

Thanks for your input, Towny - splut I know of, but dotukdirectory.co.uk is a new one on me - I'll give it a whirl.

Well, if you are hosting a forum, you can get listed in the following directories. They all are small directories, so I don't know if you're interested though.

http://www.forum-search.com/
http://www.forumzilla.com/
http://www.boardreader.com/
http://forumdirectory.com
http://forumdirectory.net/

(You can get listed in my directory as well, if you are running an education or related site)

Splut isn't currently accepting any new URL submissions

From the site:

Due to the success of Splut, we have a large backlog of sites awaiting review.

Once we have this backlog is cleared, Splut will be open to more site suggestions.

NOTE: This does not apply to paying advertisers.

Apologies for any inconvenience caused.

A friend of mine has put together a comprehensive list of business directories with descriptions, free vs. paid, and the whole site is free to access, no registration or anything, just a free resource. If you're stuck, try taking a peek at it, there are about 30 QUALITY directories listed on the site, as well as tips for yahoo and dmoz.
