Arrow Creating a REAL VALUE free directory list, dare to join ?

Now with pratically 100's of Free Directory Lists out there, what could I possibily mean by a REAL VALUE free directory list ?

Ok, to even get you thinking in that direction let me ask you a question.

What makes your time a big waste with free directory submissions ?

I practically submit to a few thousand free web directories on a monthly basis and there is this one thing that bother me the most.

The fact that my link will never be reviewed in a few hundred of those. Yes, its a fact that in some directories the free link submit is a farce.

People want the free submision traffic and the backlinks from the hundred of free web directory lists, but never are a free web directory in real sense.

They use the free submit option as a means to get free traffic and PR and pick up a few paid submissions along the way.

Also, as I undertake directory submission work for a few client every month, I wanted to create a REAL VALUE free directory list that would justify their money and my time spent on such submissions.

So here I am.

This list will exclusively contain web directories that REALLY Review and Add QUALITY free submission to their directory index.

This directory list would be split in two parts as such:

1. Directories reviewing within 10 days of submission

2. Directories reviewing within 10 - 30 days of submission

So if you are a free web directory owner who really reviews free submissions and with speed. Please post your web directories for inclusion on this list.

Trust me, we will soon have a cult following.

p.s. I am personally going to verify your claims of a quick review as i always have a few client sites in my kitty to submit too. NO FAKE CLAIMS PLEASE

Please post below to let me add your directories to this list in this format

Number of days to review a free submission:
This list would be made here and would be promoted as soon as i have a few decent verified numbers:

I am accepting free submissions in exchange for a backlink at tech-directory.net, since from personal experience I know that not everyone has money to spend on website promotion.

But to avoid the spam that comes with allowing free submissions I have modified the script to verify that the linkback page exists and that it contains the *exact* backlink code *before* accepting the submission. That is probably not going to make my site popular with people doing bulk submissions - but what the hey - but I don't think it's too much to ask people to spend a bit of time as an alternative to money.

Since my intention in creating this directory was to create a useful internet resource for ordinary people not an SEO tool for webmasters I have no compunction in rejecting submissions that I think are junk sites or don't fit any of my directory's categories.

If despite all that you still want to add my directory to your list go right ahead.

Since I don't get a ton of spam I usually process submissions within one or two working days (would probably be quicker if IS would actually notify me when submissions are received - for the paid ones of course I get an email from PayPal to spur me into action.)

No prob.

I salute those who are willing to accept completely free submissions, but unfortunately the nature of the world we live in is that you open yourself up to a lot of spam and low quality submissions, and weeding through them is something that I for one can't afford the time to do.

I would be interested but I don't know if I fit your requirements as I deal with only real estate in Spain but I could open it up for more than just Spain if you think I could benefit from this?

I have sat on the directory for too long now and would love to get it going as it seems like a waste, plus there is only so much you can do for real estate in Spain! Maybe it would be better if I opened it up, I never expected to make any money from it and it wasn't my intention - so if my directory is any good to you please contact me.

Thanks

Ahhh. Ok. But I have one coming out that is totally free and absolutely no payment for a listing just if someone has a quality site to add then it can be added. Its not a DMOZ standard review though but more of an acceptable standard rather than the all acceptance mode that most free directories have.

Thanks
