Are Web Directories Worth Submitting To?

Web Link Directories are websites that list website URLs with a description that are sorted into relevant categories. Web Directories are usually maintained and edited by humans. Websites are therefore reviewed and approved by human editors before appearing on the directory website.

Having a link to your website from large Web Directories is very useful to get found by search engines, because most of them crawl the directories first to find new websites to index. As well as this, most web directories have a high page rank with Google and Yahoo! and therefore can improve the page rank of your website and overall link popularity.
