Free General Web Directory Submissions

About the Free Directory Submissions List

This list was last updated on May 09 2009. All the sites below, except where noted, accept free submissions, with no reciprocal link. Sites must meet my strict criteria.

The list isn't meant to be exhaustive, but presents a carefully selected list of quality directories worthy of your time & link.

Niche directories moved to their own page: Free Niche Directories List.

By the way, your energies are best spent submitting to the directories & getting links from relevant websites. If there are links to your site, search engines will find it on their own. (Here's a list of search engines.)

To get the most from your efforts, before submitting, check out these directory submission tips. To understand the importance of links, check out our article on why & how to get links to your site.

Got a directory you think should be added to this page? Fabulous! Please see the How to Suggest Your Directory page to learn how.

Wait, There's more! Specialized directories

We've moved our voluminous list of niche directories to a separate page, to accommodate its growing size. Don't stop submitting until you've checked out our Free Niche Directories List.

Search Engines

We also have a list of Search Engines, though it's not really necessary to submit to them.

Does submitting to directories work?

Yep! Here's an August 2007 testimonial from someone who used this list:

Denise, I found you by search engine, and glad I did. Because of your site I was able to submit our site to a bunch of free directories....Within 12 hours of work, a bit more gray hair, we now have over 40 new links pointing at our fledgling ministry. I wish to thank you again, and have added your URL link at the bottom of our home page, so that others may realize the value you pose. ~ Travis.

Want help? We can professionally submit your site to the directories for you. (Save your time & hair color!) Learn more about our directory submission service.
