Do you submit to General web directories?

**temi** · 03-19-2009 08:28 PM

I just read at another forum about a guy who removed his site from general web directories.
His reasons includes the fact that the links are untargetted and the fact that Google has penalised and awful lot of general web directories.

What is your take on this, do you think it still worth submitting your site to general web directories?

I do submit to General web directories.. But I am making sure that I landed my links on very much related category and given the most descriptive title for my link so visitors of directories will have an idea of what my link is all about before they click...

I pretty much submit to every new announced directory, it's still good if you use the right title

If google has penalized web directories, then i would say stay away from those.

I also dont like general web directory links. I agree with that guy. I dont like to submit my website to general web directories. Google is likely to think their links unqualified, just for links and ranking. They are not worth. I just submit my site to DMOZ.

In my opinion, it's not advisable to submit your site/blog into a general directory or into a general section/category. It's better to submit our site/blog into the most appropriate/related category as much as possible.
