Not all niche directories are the same. There are good ones as well as bad ones. It depends on your niche and how many websites are in your niche. It is true that the better the niche the better the quality links you will find in a niche directory. But finding and recognizing a good niche directory requires certain steps.

The first step is to do a good search using Google, or your favorite search engine. Use a keyword that is part of your website. Use this and add the word directory. For example, when you are looking for a niche directory using the keyword “dog” here is how to find it. If you are using Google, Yahoo, or MSN, type in “dog” + “directory” in the search field. You will have the keyword dog directory or dog directories as your keyword search. Then submit and see what sites the search engine returns. There may be at least 30, if not more. Keep a note of them.

Now, you want to see how well the search engine indexed them. Once you have the link to the directory, using the search engine, type in site: [URL of niche directory]. Do this without the http://. Look at the results. If a few pages appear, the chances of getting any good results from the niche directory when you submit it will be slim. But if the amounts of pages that appear are many, you stand a better chance.

You can also check the quality of backlinks. When you find the niche directory in the above step, look through and go visit a few of the sites listed. Do you like the sites? Do you want to be associated with those sites in the same directory listing? If you doubt it, don’t do it. If someone searches that directory and sees your link with the others, they will assume you have the same quality site as the others. This can hurt you. So think twice about submitting to niche directories until you check them out first.

Another thing to check with a niche directory is price. Do they charge for you to submit to them or is the service free. You may be on a limited budget, if so you don’t want to spread your budget too thin by submitting to a niche directory that charges, when you could find a niche directory that offers free submission. Thoroughly investigate this first.
