The post has been replaced by a new post.  Please see  add your directory to our list of 12,000 directories.

We have recently added a brand new list for webmasters and web designers. See our new list of CSS galleries / directories for 40 listings of sites that list CSS. The vast majority of the directories are completely free.

Here are the two reasons I don’t recommend starting an article directory.

1. There are way too many already. I have 850 article directories listed on this site. Some of the niche article directories look useful but the there are way too many general ones to make a new article directory profitable.

2. The rate of abandonment is very high. While doing research for our list of article directories, I went through a bunch of article directory lists. Although many of these were less than a year old, I found an incredible rate of parked sites, dead sites or sites that were no longer directories. I am talking about hundreds and hundreds of dead directories. I also have to remove a large portion of my own listings every couple of weeks.

I don’t consider myself an expert in article directories as I have never owned one. Current owners would know better. My analysis is that there are too many and that the business model is not profitable. My advice for anyone wanting to start a new one is to try something else.

We have just implemented a new Real Estate Directory Submission Service on our sister site best-web-directories.com. It is based on our list of real estate directories which now has close to 250 listings.

The free real estate directories are definitely in the minority, although we have managed to find about 45 free ones. The actual number of directories that we can submit to will vary depending on your type of site and your region. Many of the sites are American. We will round out the service by submitting to general directories.

We have just done some work on our real estate directory list. We have added 100 new real estate directories and added some new regional categories for North America (Canada & USA) and Europe.



We are investigating the possibility of offering a niche real estate directory submission service on our sister site best-web-directories.com. If anyone is interested in such a service please leave a comment here and we will let you know if/when the service is implemented. If you have any free real estate directories that are not on the list please leave us a comment and we will add them right away.

I have been working pretty hard at reaching the 10,000 directory mark and we are really, really close. I have put a real push on in the last couple of days. As a result of finding some good article directories, the article directory list has doubled to more than 600 listings. Listings include both general and niche directories. I also cleaned up many of the parked / dead sites.

Tell your friends.

If your article directory is not on the list, leave a comment on this post and I’ll add it. Le me know if submissions are free or paid.

With close to 10,000 directories I needed some extra help. We would like to introduce our newest team member Zoey.

Zoey is our Golden Retriever. She has been very busy. She has collected 100 pet/animal directories. She is especially proud of the 27 dog directories. She is trying to be fair when looking at the 18 cat directories.



Zoey has searched Google up and down. She is looking for more pet directories. Submit yours today. As usually, submissions are free.

For the podcast crowd, checkout our list of Podcast directories. I just researched and added a bunch of podcast directories (about 45 new ones). The list is clean and should be useful for marketing a podcast.  The podcast category is part of our ever increasing Internet Press section.

We have added a fair amount of blog directories to our list of blog directories.   It brings the total to about 250 directories.  Blog directories are the most useful types of directories because most listings will bring you real traffic.

We also have a separate category for niche blog listings as well as a category regional blog listings.
