What makes for a good directory?

And, with Google’s assertion that it doesn’t want anybody to pay for links, what about buying a link in the Yahoo Directory or on veteran sites like Best of the Web?

Matt Cutts, Google’s guru of SEO, said recently that the key to a directory’s value is that it isn’t just about purchasing links.  We’ve all got those emails.  “Buy a link from us and we’ll be sure to increase your Google ranking.”

Not so easy.  The key to a reputable directory, said Cutts, is that the directory doesn’t accept all sites.  In fact, directories like the Yahoo directory or Best of the Web directory regularly reject sites that don’t meet their credentials.  That’s the key to a valued directory.  If you want to pay, you don’t necessarily play.

Best of the Web Discount Code for July 2009

Best of the Web bills itself as the “oldest directory on the web.”  Given that it has been around since 1994, I guess that’s probably a pretty accurate assertion.  Hard to believe that web directories are now 15 years old!
