Traduction francaise: Liste des 25 Répertoires les Plus Puissants sur la Toile
So after getting a fair amount of feedback on my last series I decided it was finally time to offer a "Top 25 Most Powerful Web Directories" list. Now this comprehensive web directories list isn't set in stone, and will probably need to be updated on 3-month intervals, but it does cover a good majority of the top paid directories you should initially target to submit your site(s) too.
Now I don't usually offer such specific details on link building resources; personally I prefer to provide general tips and then let the viewer read between the lines and extract my key points, but in this case I just felt that I should provide a quick and powerful directory list to follow up my three part series on directory submissions. Only seems fitting. And with the potential power of directories for SEO currently in hot debate, I thought that it was the right time to unleash this list. (For the record; yes they are still powerful!)
Now, there are a lot of great directories that aren't on this list because they are either too expensive for my blood (BOTW, Yahoo! Directory) or it just takes way too long to get approved (DMOZ, Illumirate) when you're looking for a quick boost for your site(s). So without much further ado, here is a list of the top 25 most powerful directories:
1.) Family Friendly Sites
2.) Incrawler
3.) Kahuki
4.) Greenstalk
5.) Rakcha
6.) Joeant
7.) Splash Directory
8.) Goguides
9.) Enquira
10.) ALS Links
11.) Clush
12.) Octopedia
13.) Info Listings
14.) Skaffe
15.) Global Weblinks
16.) Links 2 Go
17.) Dmoz Zilla
18.) Gimpsy
19.) Global Link Networks
20.) Business Directory
21.) Zorg Directory
22.) TWD
23.) Data Spear
24.) World Site Index
25.) Most Popular Sites
If you feel there is any directory which I overlooked (or have any questions about the list or any of the specific directories for that matter) please feel free to write a comment about it and I will do my best to respond to you and answer your inquiries! Happy searching!

I think you missed a very valuable directory, The librarians’ Internet Index (http://www.lii.org/). It is difficult to get into, however, it has a lot of value for those that make it.
Thank you.
Great list here 🙂 Thanks for taking the time to compile it.
Interesting list, but I also like http://www.AllBuziness.com
Interesting business oriented directory that is organized well.
This is a great list, especially if you have a new site. There’s a bunch of these directories I was not aware of. The whole series has been helpful, thanks!
Good list. I added ’em to my Excel document. Thanks
Hey all,
Really glad you’re getting some value from the list!
Special thanks to Stephen and Eric for providing some great feedback by adding more powerful directories to the list!
The problem with directories is that most all of them require a recip link which isn’t as good as a one way link. Also, the page your link goes on will almost always have no PR so you get no PR benefit.
I think it’s important to always consider which page you’re going to end up on, check the cache date, how many links on it etc before jumping.
Hi,
I think you overlooked a few very strong web directory’s including http://www.LoboLinks.com http://www.AuthorityDirectory.com
http://www.AvivaDirectory.com
http://www.Dirjournal.com

Thanks for sharing……just what I needed.
it would hav been more helpful for the newbies if u hav published specially the free topmost directories.
but after all, great work 🙂
Now that’s pretty sweet. I have been using this semi-automated directory submission software for a while now and I am still for directory links, but this post helps me to narrow down even more the ones I should use (or make sure I use) in the future.
Thanks.
Very useful list indeed. Now lets check which one is paid and free, and start with submissions 🙂
Great list here. Will you be adding more in the future?
Great post, we’re in agreement with the majority of those directories. I would also recommend BOTW as they are quite established.
This list comes in handy. Bookmarked your post! Thank you
nice list! thx! besides, only one can tell the useful dir based on its own experience
@Hugh.. All of these directories are not reciprocal, and you’re right about the sub-page PR I wrote about it in one of my opening posts on the series.
@Foot… Good point about cache date; also covered this in the series.
@Matt… Unfortunately no, this was a one time freebie!
@SEO… You’re right about BOTW, but like I said it’s one of the most expensive directories out there.
@John… Thanks for the additions, went ahead and fixed the link for authority directory even though it’s a PR 0. Either way; hope you were able to get some good value out of the list as well!
This is what I have been looking for! Thanks for list
