More great info! You guys are awesome!!
thanks a ton for this useful info. I request you to post more and more resources like this. Are there any other directories which gives instant backlinks.
Fabulous resource. Thanks for putting so much valuable information in one place and "on the house"!
Great post! I am definitely consider all the sites mentioned above, but I am concerned of the quality of inbound links.
hey Hubspot gang! this is great, thanks a bunch. I especially find the blog directories useful.
King,
If you find the blog directories useful, also check out the following article, "8 Free Links to Promote a Blog" http://blog.hubspot.com/blog/tabid/6307/bid/3013/8-Free-Links-to-Promote-a-Blog.aspx
Thanks,

I think the blog directories list is useful but you say "Directories not only help you get more inbound links but also bring in more qualified traffic and generate leads."
Since when did any directory provide you with qualified leads? I think your dreaming a bit there! The only web directories worth submitting too are dirs like botw, yahoo, dmoz and maybe a few industry niche directories. But thats only too build your initial trust in the eyes of the eninges but give you click throughs and leads? Not directly.
How effective is it to be listed with Yahoo and pay the $300/year? Great index of free listings by the way!
We get a good number of leads from good directories like HotFrog and Google Local. The quality seems to be OK to since I guess people find these sites when they have intent to purchase. Sure some of the directories we've added to haven't sent us anything but for the cost it hasn't seemed to harm us either.
Hi there thanks for the resource - would be great to get a UK focused list too! Any one out there got one ready to share??? Yelp.co.uk works - and yahoo and bing. Do follow blogs.com now charges! No longer free. And some of the others are blocked due to oversubscriptions. But generally got me thinking about the importance of links again!
Michelle,
We will definitely be posting resources for other countries, UK included ... stay tuned.
Hi, great post however is there any chance you could list those available in the UK for us non-US subscribers :-)
Thanks!
Linking is new to me but any info. is great and appreciated.

Fantastic Resource - I have already submitted our site for a couple of the blog listings. Does anyone have any rating directories or lists that are more relevant for B2B, enterprise software type listings?
Thanks!
