Thanks for sharing this well organised useful directories listing.
Thanks for sharing this valuable information, I´d been looking for org links and finally I found them. Have a good day
Dear Ana,
I am pleased to know you find the .org list useful. I plan to update this post soon with a few more directories.
Well organized and very useful directories. I look forward to seeing an .edu directory list if you can as we all know that both .org and .edu links have special significance on SEO ranking of WebPages. Thanks for sharing these links.
The major search engines don’t seem to differentiate between website created for desktops and those for mobile devices. If you search for a hotel on your mobile phone you get a list of hotels but they may be mobile compatible or may not!
We have just launched a FREE mobile website directory where only mobile compatible website are listed http://www.bizzy.mobi. This makes it easier when trying to find information about hotels, new cars, property and travel as you don’t have to zoom out or in as the website fits your device.
Everyone (with a mobile compatible website) can add their website to the http://www.bizzy.mobi directory FREE.
Well organised useful directories. I look forward to seeing an .edu directory list if you can as we all know that both. org and .edu links have special significance on SEO ranking of webpages. Many thanks for sharing with us
i am learning about internet marketing, and have learnt that directories are best places to build links to website. Thank for listing these .ORG Directories.
These are all great. But sometimes the trick is to use it in an original and smart way. Google can be tricky! Thanks for sharing this though.
