If you are looking to add your website to a web directory, then their are a whole heap to choose from, but some are of course, much better than others. One such directory is the SlackAlice.com Web Directory, this has been around for more than 7 years and is well spidered in the major search engines and a favourite amongst seo specilaists which should provide a clue as to its position. It is also ranked 33 with a score of 7.8.

The directory itself is clean and well organised into categories and sub-categories, each one appears to have been optimised to maximise the possibility of the page being indexed and found for the approriate terms . This is an important aspect for anyone that wants the directory to send them useful visitors, rather than just providing a backlink.

On ethe front there are the major categories such as shopping, transport & logistics, business etc and sub-categories include more detailed listings with categories such as manufacturing. All of the listings are edited by hand and the directory unusually for one of such quality, offers free listings. However, this also means that they are victims to automated submissions and spam, therefore they end up rejecting a reported 98% of all submissions. Some are refused, of course, simply because the submitter couldn’t be bothered to read of follow the submission guidelines.

They also offer paid for listing and sponsored. Nonetheless, both must follow the same guidelines to be accepted, although the editors may make some minor changes if that is all that is required for listing. Those that are rejected receive a full refund. One particularly nice attribute of the directory is that it is not cluttered with adverts, which only seek to tempt visitors away from people that have taken the time to list, they do however have some 8 directory sponsors, this takes away from the ‘feel’ of the directory, but does not interfere with the easy navigation or pewerful search facility.

All in all, the SlackAlice web directory is a must for anyone that is serious about promoting their websites.
