		<description>I&#039;m planning on adding that soon, actually! The truth is, there are SO MANY good places out there, and it would be absolutely impossible for me to transfer my entire spreadsheet &quot;book&quot; to the site. But I will soon post a section with some of the &quot;majors&quot; on it! :)</description>

		<description>My pleasure, Lara. Thanks for providing the informative articles. I also appreciate the additional insight you&#039;ve added. Do you have a comprehensive list on your site that includes all the major directories we should be looking at?</description>

		<description>Thanks for the link love, Ray!

I&#039;ll tell you this much: Directory links provide benefits that some people don&#039;t really expect sometimes. They really are viewed by some people as the best way to be &quot;categorized&quot; in terms of search results, but also because - believe it or not - there are a number of people out there who actually use directories to find what they&#039;re looking for. ESPECIALLY niche-specific and regional directories.

Just something to watch out for: Check through the directory listings and try to make sure that you&#039;re getting a direct link (unless it&#039;s a super specific niche directory - then you should grab the link anyway for the traffic). Many so-called directories out there will use cgi redirects to link to those listed. This will give you no &quot;link juice&quot; whatsoever, and the search engines won&#039;t ever notice it.

Anyway, thanks again for the link, and do stay tuned to the site as I plan on adding regular articles like this one! :)</description>
