Top 25 Most Powerful Web Directories List
by Paul Teitelman.
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!

Great list, and if you include these directory list with PR it makes Superb List
thanks for this great list. do you have something like that especially for germany too? or doesnt it matter from where you get the backlinks even if you wanne rank high just in germany?
Great list! Check out Stumpedia.com also.
I tried some of them, what a pity, they were not free.
FYI — Global Weblinks looks like they nofollow the listings.
@ Todd: Only the outgoing links from the category pages are nofollow - links from detailpages are Dofollow - The directory is custom built and tweaked over the years. - read more about the thoughts here: http://www.clausheinrich.com/usage-of-relnofollow-on-directories-its-not-all-bad/
Nice list. I also use these directories:

Cheers!
A good list, but there's quite a lot of pay sites on there
for someone like me, paying directories is not an option. I guess these would be mostly businesses trying to get in these directories.
I personally believe that directories are undervalued these days. Of course, they do not help as much as they used to. But if you can find a way to get cheap (or free) posts, then do so. Great list! Thanks
@Mohammed Depending on what you do with a site, paying for inclusion can be, and often should be, an option.
If you make money from your site or plan to, investing in directory submissions certainly can be worth it.
Great List I also found a directory that hasn't been listed
I have a few of them already. Not all, thanks for saving me the time searching for valuable directories. Have it all right here
Thanks

Wow. I just found this post. I wish I would have spotted it earlier but better late than never. I am in the addiction field and for addiction treatment this list of directories is crucial to getting the word out about recovery. Thanks very very much for the help.
