"The way a team plays as a whole determines its success. You may have the greatest bunch of individual stars in the world, but if they don't play together, the club won't be worth a dime."

A web directory or link directory is a directory on the World Wide Web. It specializes in linking to other web sites and categorizing those links.

A web directory is not a search engine and does not display lists of web pages based on keywords; instead, it lists web sites by category and subcategory. The categorization is usually based on the whole web site rather than one page or a set of keywords, and sites are often limited to inclusion in only a few categories. Web directories often allow site owners to directly submit their site for inclusion, and have editors review submissions for fitness.

Below is a listing of the Top 10 Directories displayed in alphabetical order

1. Best of the Web



a directory where all the webmasters want their website/blog to appear. When you try to submit your website here, make sure that you are submitting your website in the relevant category and your site should not be under construction. If you are willing to get your site listed in ‘Best of the web’ directory, then you have to pay $99.95 yearly fee or $249.95 one time fee. I would highly recommend this directory because most of the pages have page rank 4 or 5 and will help you in improving your search engine rankings.

2. Gimpsy - Active Sites for Active People
   


Gimpsy is an Internet directory that categorizes sites in a new and unique way. Unlike other Internet directories, which categorize sites according to their subject, Gimpsy is concerned first and foremost with the service that a site provides.

3. GoGuides
   

is a searchable human edited web directory, categorized by location and topics and also includes features like image search and updated news.
Major websites like iseDB.com have recognized the worth of the content posted on the site and consider it one of the major online directories.

4. Google Directory - Powered by the ODP
   

Collection of links arranged into hierarchical subcategories. The links and their categorization are from the Open Directory Project, but are sorted using PageRank.

Jayde is the internet's largest B2B Search Engine and one of the web's oldest business directories. Jayde was founded in 1996. Jayde is an entirely human reviewed directory with a lightning fast search.

6. JoeAnt
   

Joeant was started in 2001 and is a great web directory having links to quality sites only.
Volunteer editors are registered automatically and do not have to go through a review process. The sites they submit go to a higher-level editor regardless of topic. This allows the submitter to get a quick review of the site without the likelihood that the reviewer is a competitor.

7. ODP - Open Directory Project – dMOZ(formerly directory.mozilla.org)
   

This is the largest and most comprehensive human-edited directory on the internet. Submission at Dmoz is free but the waiting period for a site acceptance/refusal here can be long. If you are able to get your website in dmoz directory, it will be automatically picked by many search engine and directories including Google, AOL, Excite, Lycos etc.


URL : http://dmoz.org/




8. Skaffe - The International Directory
   

Quality sites with original content and value to the directory should be listed here. They are building the best directory on the net. High-quality and original content are key factors for them.

9. WebSavvy Directory
   

WebSavvy Directory provides an index of high quality, family friendly, child safe resources, which are human edited and reviewed prior to inclusion into the Directory. WebSavvy is a PICS labeled Directory which accepts websites that follow either the ICRA or SafeSurf standards.


URL : http://www.websavvy.cc/



10. Yahoo! Directory
    

The Yahoo! Directory is a web directory which rivals the Open Directory Project in size. The directory was Yahoo!'s first offering.
Yahoo! provides both a search engine and a directory service, and the directory is searchable separately from the rest of their search engine results.
