Findelio Web Directory

Review Category: Paid Directories

Findelio Web Directory has been around for years and this site receives high volumes of traffic from many different countries. This is a great directory for webmasters trying to gain a global audience for their sites. Findelio incorporates a regional category structure providing visitors with easy access to websites from their region of interest. The actual directory is located at the sub-domain directory.findelio.com. In order to submit a website, you must navigate to the appropriate category and the “Submit Site” link will appear on the left side. Sorry, we could not find any current Promo Codes for submission discounts, but their non-sponsored listing are permanent which provides good value. There is also a Blog Directory setup within the main directory category structure.

Realitist Web Directory

Review Category: Paid Directories

Realitist.com general web directory has over 4000 website listings. A small amount of organic visitors come by way of the keyword “web directory.” The homepage states that this is “The Fire Breathing Directory”, so be careful. At least the $5 non-refundable review fee won’t burn your wallet much. I am not completely sure why when the site loads there is a great deal of data communication with the site mirror.nbstatic.com. I am pretty sure it is the banner advertisements. All it does is effect website speed. If you are looking for a relatively inexpensive backlink you can submit your site to Realitist.com.

Suggest Url Directory

Review Category: Paid Directories

Suggest-Url.Org business web directory is a paid directory comprised of spam-free website listings. As claimed in the header, this directory does contain “seo friendly” urls from the category pages to the individual link detail pages. The owners do offer a refund if your website is not accepted. Submitting additional deep links is not an option. Some webmasters debate that this only improves the weight of the one link you submit because the directory has less outgoing links overall. We will let you decide for yourself.

The most powerful keyword sending search engine traffic to Suggest-Url is “add url.” Additional keywords sending organic traffic to this directory include: web directory, business directories, and suggest url. From our location, Yahoo lists Search-Url.org first for the keyword “suggest url” which some may interpret as an easy accomplishment, based on the domain name, but Google kicks the site back to the third page. So apparently it’s not that easy as one might expect. We will have to wait and see where it moves in the future. This shows how domain name choice can slightly effect your search engine ranking. Now on to the statistics…

Stats:
Traffic is 64% from India, 18% from US and UK people, 18% from everywhere else.
