List of Free UK Link Directories with .asd4 File

May 27, 2011 by dodod

Version 11.05 of UK web directories contains 218 free and seo-friendly link directories hosted under the .uk ccTLD. This web directory list might be useful if you are targeting UK clients. An Allsubmitter 6 compatible .asd4 file is also available for a minimum fee.
Although some other British link directory lists might contain more directories, this is a carefully filtered list made with Allsubmitter: during the process we have eliminated a lot of paid and reciprocal UK directories.
Only a few dozen of these British web directories accept only UK-related sites, while the remaining directories accept international links too (although this data is only included in our .asd4 allsubmitter file).

Use the contact form if you are interested in getting our Allsubmitter directory list.

How to find almost all directories?

May 10, 2011 by dodod

There are three different ways of building systematically your own link directory (or social bookmarking site or article directory) database — all of them is based on finding certain footprints or texts present on only the kind of sites you are looking for by scraping search engine result pages.

Finding sites which call themselves directories

It might be rather ineffective on the English web due to the enormous volume of (useless, paid or otherwise not that useful) directories where a search engine  “web directory” or “link directory” strings  can be found by search engines, but if you are looking for foreign language sites, it might be still useful such as looking for “Webverzeichnis, Webkatalog” or the “Annuaire, Annu” words if you want to find German of French sites respectively.

You can add up some adjectives to these like “Free” or “SEO friendly” to the above expressions or other special keywords which can be found only on link directories (or sites dealing with link directories) such as for instance “ohne Backlinkpflicht” (“without compulsory backlink” in german) or otherwise narrow down to the type of directories you are looking for such as “deep link directory” or directories with “instant approval”.

The topic of the website you are about to promote with directory submissions can be also incorporated in these search queries, although a query like “Real estate directory” will scrape both directories accepting only real estate related links and subcategories of general directories.

Finding directories with footprints of directory scripts

Taking the most popular link directory script as an example, one expression which can be found on a huge number of link directories poweded by PHPLD happens to be the expression “powered by php link directory”, although there are many oher directories, where the owner has paid an extra fee to remove this attribute from the directory’s footer.

Other typical thing is the submission page’s URL: PHP Link Directory Script’s link submission script can be found at submission.php, so if you are looking for this sites with the inurl:submit.php special expression, you will find many PHP LD sites. Unfortunately many other systems or sites which have nothing to see with link directories have similar urls, therefore it is better ro refine this expression and use the inurl:”submit.php?c=” expression in Google, as the submission pages corresponding to certain categories have URLs like this.

Submission pages sometimes tend to have other specific texts, so examining a few directories of a certain kind you can figure out commonly used expressions (which are part of a default template of that directory script for instanca) you can find similar submission sites easily.

Anyway you can use Google and search for directory footprints expression to find a lot of footprint texts and expressions.

Finding sites by detecting links to submission forms

Although the words which are used by linking the submission forms show a great variety, you can discover which are the most commonly used expressions such as Add URL, Suggest a site, etc. The easiest is way of gathering all possible variations is to collect the verbs used for submission, suggestion and adding plus the words used for links/sites:

[enregister|proposer|proposez|s'inscrire|inscrire|referencer|réferencer|soumettre|ajouter|ajoutez|présenter] [votre|un|mon|une] [site|site internet|site web|lien|url]

As you can see in the above example we gathered different verbs and their most commonly used forms, then added other possible variations for the most requently used nouns in this context. Having put them in the word spinning syntax used by Allsubmitter’s value generation module and let processed by this module, you will get a long list of every possible combination:

“Enregister votre site”
“Enregister votre site internet”
“Enregister votre site web”
“Enregister votre lien”
“Enregister un site”
“Enregister un site internet”
“Enregister un site web”
“Enregister un lien”
“Enregister site”
“Enregister site internet”
“Enregister site web”
“Enregister lien”
“Proposer votre site”
“Proposer votre site internet”
“Proposer votre site web”
“Proposer votre lien”
“Proposer un site”
“Proposer un site internet”
“Proposer un site web”
“Proposer un lien”
“Proposer site”
“Proposer site internet”
“Proposer site web”
“Proposer lien”

and so on….

Some of them will be grammatically incorrect or for other reasons seldom used, but this will not be a problem, because if no site has these bad expressions normally created by machine translation only then it will not even give you false positives.

If you cannot find enough directories

Before you start to systematically discover link directories with a specialised tool like Allsubmitter, you can usie a directory list published on some web site as a starting point: although many directory lists are rather outdated, these will help you to identify what’s common in certain types of directories, thus give you a good start for creating your own expressions to scrape search engines in your search of directories.

As search engines will provide you with only a limited number of results for each keywords and expressions you might want to try expressions narrowed down to certain top level domain names, so instead of  “Link Directory”, you can use the

• “link directory” site: com
• “link directory” site: net
• “link directory” site: org
• “link directory” site: info
• etc. expressions too

This way link directories will give you four times more results hopefully, as having only a few hundred initial results is just not enough given on the fact that how many of them will be filtered later on during the process.

If you’ve found just too many sites

Using the above methods you will have a whole lot of false positives: sites which are not directories, sites — like this directory blog — which only write about directory scripts or submissions. Allsubmitter has a few handy features to filter these lists and eliminate unnecessary items:

First of all you can determine which expressions’ presence would indicate in the directory that a site has a submission form and let Allsubmitter to find exactly where the submission forms are located too. Cases when sites which have internal links with texts usually referring to submission forms but on the referred subpage no actual forms can be found by the Allsubmitter (because for instance the form is only available for logged-in users) can be also determined.

Unfortunately this algo is not working 100% perfectly so you will still have many sites which will not be directories indeed, therefore you should also use an other feature of Allsubmitters’ Catalogue Base handling module which lets you filter lists by the contents of database fields. For instance if you search for %link% of %Link% or %dire% or %Dire% or similar SQL expressions in URLS and web page Titles but you cannot found neither the link nor the directory keywords, chances are high that you can remove that site from the scraping’s results.

Going through all results manually

Once you have systematically gathered and meticulously filtered your results, the last step would be to go through those sites with Semi-Automatic Submission to check whether they are really directories, and whether they allow your sites to be suggested for free or with any other conditions which are acceptable for you.

Allsubmitter provides sophisticated tools for the whole process, effectively assisting you to:

• gather sites with search engine queries
• remove duplicated links or domains from the results
• detect submission forms by examining web sites while deleting all sites which are not responding or giving errors
• determine other parameters necessary when assessing the results such as Page rank values or IP addresses
• finalize your directory list by going through the directories with an easy semi-automatic link submission process.

Useful directory lists — only from linkbuilders

Apr 20, 2011 by dodod

When you need a good list of directories or social bookmarking sites, no matter whether you are looking for some general directories or other sites specializing in a certain topic or language, not really the mere number of the included sites count but the ratio of the directories which are still alive and accept link submissions in a timely manner.

Aging of directory lists

If someone once happened to gather a list of directories or social bookmarking sites which was offering SEO-friendly links without nofollow attributes or redirects,  it does not really mean that this list could also work for you. As time goes by, many sites will be shut down, discontinued, become a paid directory, etc. so the older a directory list is, the more useless information it will contain. A two years old list therefore can be completely useless in many cases.

status of the included directories

Not to mention the fact that discovering new directiries is usually the first step when you build an usable database of directories. You should go and see whether they actually accept your submissions, and if so the link they provide will be valid and usable for SEO purposes. Although finding new directories might be not that time consuming, determining whether they are still working, is not the easiest task.

No directory list will do for you!

This is the reason why — based on our experience — you will never find a really usable, up-to-date directory list available publicly on the web. As neither the vast majority of “directory of directories” sites nor “directory submitter software” is owned by link marketeers who are working with the listed directories on a daily basis, the list of directories they offer will always be far from optimal.

On one hand, there will be many listed directories which have never been used by the owner of that list — if it is to be a foreign language or an other niche directory, this is quite common. On the other hand once a site is included, its status is rarely checked by hand and updated accordingly.

Only the directory list that you create

Bad news is that if you have no time to waste by submitting your links to  a number of directories which will never accept your submissions or if you plan to do regular link building, (almost) the only way of getting a really usable directory list is to create your own.

There will be one exception though: in the near future we will offer some of our proven directory lists for a minimum charge. Although many link marketeers would never publish their similar lists, since usually we do not promote e.g. British sites on the English web or German sites on the German web but foreign sites on English or German web, we really don’t have that kind of competitors, with whom we would not like to share our “secret” lists.

Other piece of good news is that there is a tool which significantly eases not only he link submission process but the creation of any kind of directory list which is the simply wonderful AllSubmitter.

We will also give detailed instructions on how to build your own directory lists soon, so stay tuned!

List of German Pligg sites

Jul 3, 2010 by dodod

List of German language social bookmarking sites powered by pligg. In this post I would like to share with you my list of German Pligg sites. The method I used to collect them was to search for two key expressions almost every Pligg powered site has: “veröffentliche” (means published) and “bevorstehende” (means upcoming). The below social bookmarking and social news site list contains 64 working Pligg sites (as of July, 2010).

I have only included those sites which might be useful for link building. As I don’t want to support spamming, I have not included those pages where I could see that the bookmarking site in question only collects sites from a niche topic, or where the site profile was more like a human-edited social news portal than a “do it what you want, we just installed Pligg on our site with a basic skin, without adding categories and such”. All in all this list is useful if you want to promote German language web sites.

How to find good lists of directories?

Jan 21, 2010 by dodod

For many people who start to build links in a yet unknown topic, niche or language, the first step will be to look for individual directories by entering special queries to Google. It is a quite widespread method to search for different combinations of some typical keywords of your niche and expressions almost every directory has (e.g. add url, submit link). This is the reason why many directory owners see in their web statistics keywords like: financial consulting add url, add link directory education, cosmetic dentistry free add url, etc. Other, similar method is when you have some idea about the usual taxonomy used to categorize your topic, so you search for a sequence of categories like: “Regional Europe Germany” or “World Italiano”.

The problem with all of these methods which based on looking for certain keywords a directory should have in order to be relevant to your topic is that you will find a lot of inappropriate directories for your campaign, so you will have to dig through a lot of directories which are not useful or usable at all for your actual link building. In many cases the first results Google shows you will be those well established directories which accept only paid submissions, so if you are looking for free and SEO friendly directories these won’t help you too much. The second problem is that during this process you might find a lot of regional directories which accept submissions only from a certain region (try to look for directories of lawyers and you will see that the majority of them only accepts US-based professionals). Even if you sorted out all of these directories it might happen that you submit your links to a bunch of sites where although the submission form works, no one will accept it, since the directory is abandoned long time ago.

Since chances are high that someone has already done the above described labour and has already shared its experiences (here I mean directory lists) with the public, it might be more effective to look for these special directory list compilations instead of searching for individual directories. If your topic is popular enough (for instance if you are looking for UK-based directories), perhaps you’ll only have to go to the biggest specialized directory lists, find the appropriate category and start submitting. If your topic is a bit more esoteric, you will find just a couple of relevant directories there; or if you want to find more directories than these big directories of directories offer, you should use this method:

1. Find a few relevant directory either by starting with
   1. going through the corresponding topic of Open Directory
   2. going through some of the biggest directory of directories
   3. searching for appropriate keywords in Google.
2. Go and submit your links to these directories to see whether they fit your needs.
3. Enter the URLs of two or three good directories you have found useful
4. If you are lucky, Google will deliver some directory lists to you

If these directory lists have been compiled recently or they are regularly updated, you will be able to harness the knowledge of someone who has already been tried the same thing you are about to accomplish: you will not waste your time visiting paid, reciprocal or otherwise constrained directories, submitting to defunct sites, etc. Unfortunately the older these lists are the less accurate the data will be: many direcories would become paid or shut down in the meantime, for instance.

Caveat: although you can find many useful directory lists with this method, you won’t be able to find all: partly because on many web sites the longer lists are batched, so the entire list spans over more web pages, therefore sometimes the directories you seek for will not occur on the same page, so Google will not find them. On the other hand some of these directory lists are much more sophisticated than just being accessible as simple list. For instance the French directory of directories, Annuaire-info.com has a rather sophisticated form for filtering the more than 3000 links it contains. Since unfortunately these forms with multiple filtering options due to technical reasons are almost impossible to be handled by search engine bots, Google cannot access these filtered lists.
