Looking for resources and places to promote my websites today, I came across the folowing web directories that will help boost your traffic and increase your search engine rankings. I made sure to find sites that will fit any budget. Take a look at these sites:

A Free Directory is a brand new site (about a week old) that uses a customized version of a free template. The result? Eye-catching and unique. You can get a free or paid featured link and the sites are approved within 24 hours – talk about service.

Directory of Sites is a brand new site (a day or so old) so is yet unproven. They offer free and paid links on the site and the approval for my sites was pretty quick. It remains to be seen how this site does, but I have a good feeling about it… time will tell though.

The Best Damn Links Page is just that – a great directory. This one is an example of what you can do with an older site to make it great again. Whether you have no advertising budget or some money to spend, anyone can get a backlink from this site.

Tower Promote Free Link Directory is a directory on an old, established domain. Search engines tend to rank links from older sites as more important than newer ones, so a listing here is a must. You have three choices of links including free and reciprocal as well as paid featured listings.

Mitefind Paid Link Directory is not a free directory, though I thought I should mention it here anyways. For less than two dollars, you can get a backlink from this site which is an old established domain. Why pay? Usually with a paid directory, your site listing is approved faster which means your link gets indexed faster by the search engines. An added bonus of this site is that any other directories that the site owner creates, your site will be listed on those sites automatically. You can think of this offer as perpetual promotion of your website.

Be sure when you submit to link directories to follow the site submission guidelines - that will ensure approval of your site within the directory.
