SEO Friendly List Capped at 500 Directories

First off, my apologies for my long absence! Client work has a way of intruding on my ability to work on my own site. Thanks for your patience and for all the suggestions and intel on the directories and their changes you have sent me.

I've enlisted the assistance of an associate to help me with maintaining my free directory reviews in order to keep my reviews up to date. So watch for a big update here shortly.

Now for the big news!

Dan, of the SEO Friendly List, has just released his largest list ever. It now contains 509 directories. In order to emphasize quality over quantity, Dan has capped the list at 500 directories. That means that in order for new directories to get on the list, an existing one needs to be dropped for failure to meet the SEO Friendly Guidelines. In the beginning, 10 directories need to be dropped before one can be added.

There has been a lot of list churn lately, where free directories:

• go live
• get on the SEO Friendly List
• get some great visibility and lots of traffic/listings
• then quickly turn paid to cash in
• get dropped from the list
• and then come back for re-inclusion when their listings and traffic drop off

This doesn't benefit you or the other folks trying to find directories through Dan's list and my site. It also makes maintaining Dan's list and my reviews very time consuming. In the past, I have tried to act as a filter and only review directories that seem pretty stable. Now Dan is adding his list's clout behind this effort by capping his list and forcing directories to maintain quality standards (and quit switching from free to paid and back to free) or get dropped from the list.

If you are too busy to submit your own sites to free directories and want to use a great submission service, remember to check out Dan's Info Vilesilencer Submission Service. He will hand submit your site to hundreds of free directories over a 3 month period for $349. For a limited time, if you mention that you heard about his service on webseodesign.com, Dan will give you a $15 USD discount. I use Dan's service with my own clients.

Thanks again for your patience during my absence!
