Ajdee Web Directory

Review Category: Paid Directories

ajdee
Ajdee Web Directory offers permanent website submission options. In other words, they do not charge an annual review fee like many directories. We feel it is noteworthy to mention, that Ajdee.com will celebrate it’s 6 year anniversary in January 2010. The age of a directory is often overlooked, but this does provide the directory with credibility and another reason for why webmasters should feel comfortable submitting websites.

Ajdee has some strong backlinks including dmoz.org and the Yahoo directory just to name a few. Some of the keywords that send search engine traffic to the site include “web directory”, “internet directory”, and “top 10 sites.”

Ajdee provides users and submitters with a clean, advertisement-free environment while navigating through the thousands of website listings in the directory. If you own a blog or forum, you can submit to their separate directories for each niche.
