Zemalf’s Blog Directory PageRank Listing

Here is a list of blog directories, ranked based on PageRank. High PageRank does not automatically mean that one blog directory is better than the other, but for certain SEO activities, PageRank of the blog directory is quite important, so I hope you find this list useful, all 140+ of them..

Also note that these are front page PageRanks. Individual categories are most likely lower PageRank, 1-2 PR lower on average. It is possible that category/topic listing has higher PR, based on what kind of reciprocal link strategy the directory uses (to front page or to sub-directory).

Some of these blog directories are highly targeted, to a specific niche, country or such, so take a look what the directory is about before submitting. And not all are necessary on English either, so consider if your blog is good for that directory or not.

Disclaimer: PageRank of a page is subject to change, the PR of these blog directories might be higher or lower than the one listed. It is possible that some of the services are not available anymore when you read this, as some of these are relatively short-lived (higher the ranking, less likely it is that they go out). There might or might not be paid (non-free) services on the list that I didn’t notice, I didn’t check all the services to that extent, as I haven’t submitted to all of these myself.

Some shady people have created directories to build links and ranking, and then change the subject and/or use the domain for non-directory purpose or just sell the domain for big bucks, because it’s readily ranked and linked. If a blog directory link redirects you to some other service, this is what has happened, they (or the domain seller) have built their PageRank with blog directory and then use that to leverage their business.

Blog Directories Based on Front Page PageRank

Here’s the current PageRank based listing of blog directories, happy submissions :)

You can find full list of blog directories and feed / rss submission services in my The All-in-One Resource Collection for Bloggers -page.

Most links take you directly to submit/add your blog -page, and it is possible that the submit-page has PR lower than the front page. You might also want to check the PR of the most suitable category before submission if you want.

Paid = submission (or featured link) must be purchased (either one time, or also to maintain). Reciprocal = link is free, but you must link back.

Comment policy: We're gonna be like little Fonzies here. And what's Fonzie like? Cool. Correctamundo, and that's how we roll here -- cool. Critical is OK, but if you're rude, spam or otherwise misuse the blog comments, I will delete your comment. Do not put your URL in the comment text. Use your PERSONAL name (yourname@example is cool, example.com without your name is not). Have fun, be excellent to each other and thanks for adding to the conversation!

    Thanx! How long ago were they checked? I think dir.yahoo has PR8 now..

  • The list was checked/created the day it was posted. The mistakes are probably because the submit page had PR of 6. It's a big list, so there might be some errors :)
  • I'm assuming from the list that PR 9 is better that PR 1, right?
    .-= Gordie Rogers´s last blog ..Tim Ferriss’s Tools And Tricks You Need To Know. =-.
  • Correct. In short, if you get a link from higher PageRank page to yours, that link is kind of a vote for your site, from Google's perspective - possibly increasing the PR of your site while at it.

    I posted the list, because I saw people looking for lists for high-ranked directories and as you can see there's a whole lot of them out there.

    I'm not looked deeply into how useful submitting to blog directories is as far as blog traffic goes, so I haven't gone into submit-frenzy. But submitting in the higher ranking ones is one of the easiest way to get quality links, as directories are ranked high on PR.
