		<description>Directory submissions used to be a very big part of most search marketers traffic and link building efforts. Really it is true.</description>

		<description>This article and following comments have been very helpful. But is the cost of these directories really worth it for small businesses?</description>

		<description>I Guess Business.com is shut down now, but there are few more which should be included like goguides.org, gimpsy.com, sevenseek.com, skaffe.com.

So, far it is nice article.</description>

		<description>I am one of the persons that encourage the directory submission. Maybe some of the easiest ways to promote to your website is to write articles and publish them in article directories and to submit your website to directories.</description>

		<description>Lee, good list. As mentioned above the only ones I&#039;d add would be   

skaffe.com
gimpsy.com

That&#039;s all. I guess that kills the other 4,573 other directories. :-)</description>

		<description>Hey SEOsnafu, thanks for stopping by. FYI BOTW is indeed the oldest directory on the web. They &lt;a href=&quot;http://web.archive.org/web/19970401132004/botw.org/1994/&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;started in 1994&lt;/a&gt;.  Yahoo! was &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.answers.com/topic/yahoo-inc&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;incorporated in 1995&lt;/a&gt;.</description>

		<description>A few others I thought worth noting including...

sevenseek.com
skaffe.com
gimpsy.com
web-beacon.com

botw the oldest directory? I think Yahoo might take that distinction.

Since age (both domain and links) is a G factor, I sometimes wonder 
what might provide better ROI over directory links.

e.g.
Buy aged domains already in previously mentioned directories and 
include your link?

Seek out authority sites worth pursuing IBL&#039;s from?

Great site Lee. I shall return.</description>

		<description>Hey Lee,

I ran across your article from a Google search here. After reading your article, I wanted to add to it. 

I can&#039;t agree enough about the importance of having your site listed in these directories. This day in age, people feel that these directories are nothing more than ghost towns... but it seems that we know differently. 

I have just written two very nice articles regarding Dmoz.org. One talks about how being listed in Dmoz.org can affect your PageRank, and my second article is similar to your article here, but also talks more in depth about what I would suggest being the top five musts in order to get a successful listing in Dmoz.org.

I want to invite you to view these articles and offer your opinions about it. I have bookmarked your site and also subscribed to your rss feed. I will now be able to stay updated with your publications.

Take care, and excellent post.
- Garry</description>
