Directory submission services as we used to know them are basically dead or on the verge of being extinct. There are still a few hidden gems but that are worth submitting to like Best of the Web or DMOZ, and the YAHOO Directory. If you are going to do directories make sure they are free ones or Google will make wish you had not wasted your money! Use them for advertising purposes only, not for link building. Another top directory still worth spending the money on is BUSINESS.COM, a lot of good leads come from there as well as link juice.

Don't get me wrong not all directories are a waste and the situation is not as bleak as it sounds. If you are looking for traffic from other engines they can still help you to rank. If you want to do a link building campaign for your web site you would be better served to try social marketing or pay a link building company to assist you with this task. We will be putting up some new ideas on how to build links in the future for people who subscribe to our news letter. Until then we will be stripping all the directory list pages and converting them into new pages.

The new link building newsletter and ability to sign up will be available by the middle to end of next month.
