Article Directories for Link building

[PK357]

That being said, you have to use your discretion when getting a link from a directory. The first piece of advice is, look for inner page rank. You are not going to get a home page link from your directory, but rather a categorical one. If you are able to get into the right directories it is going to have an impact on your SEO. For instance, DMoZ the open directory project still passes a lot of link juice. Also business.com, and Yahoo directory still have a lot of authority and are not viewed as spam link farms. Look to get into those directories which cost money, as this usually weeds out the spam.

Also try local listings. This is especially true if you have a business to go with your website. Google plus local business pages, yahoo local listings, dex, etc. all work well. Avoid link farms at all costs!
