Some SEO experts and online marketeers think web directories are dead. That may be right for general web directories that have been penalised by Google for selling links, but niche directories can still provide a good quality link to your site because they actually offer a web surfer useful information and provide a relevant link to your site.

Bloggings Most Wanted is a blog directory that lists and categorises a wide range of blogs from Travel Blogs to movie and video blogs, and the ever popular Make Money Online Blogs. Is a link from a directory like this worth the money? Well, that depends on your site and how well it fits in with the other sites in it’s category. That’s the benefit of a niche directory – the other sites listed are more likely to be relevant to yours.

Niche directories like this are a useful resource, for both surfers and bloggers looking to promote their blog.

A lot has been written about web directories and their usefulness for Search Engine Optimisation. Recent efforts by Google to crack down on the link selling market have hit directories hard – especially the big boys. But there are still quaility small directories out there that offer good value.

Directory-King has a very simple, clean layout (maybe even unique – at least I haven’t seen it before!) making it easy to navigate. There are a wide range of categories to choose from and the categories are supplemented by articles and news feeds, which helps to keep the content fresh and unique. Features like this help to make a directory stand out from the crowd for visitors and search engines.

And, as well as the standard directory listings, the site offers a variety of frontpage & sitewide advertising options.

Good features and good value make this directory well worth a look.
