The Chinashufa Directory of Directories is the online source for locating websites dealing with directories. Acceptance is based solely on quality and the useful information provided by the directories. As a result, you can be assured that you will be listed among some of the best web directories. Submit your directory related web site to this category in the Chinashufa Link Exchange Directory. If you can not find the appropriate sub-category, please recommend it. We will add it.

Web directories and link directories are websites that link to other web sites. The better ones categorize the links by category and subcategory. The categorization is based on the product or service offered by the websites that are added to the directory. Sites are often limited to only one or two categories or sub-categories. A link directory often allows site owners to directly submit their site for inclusion, and if the directory is a human edited directory, editors review submissions for fitness. Those submitting their websites to gain higher search engine ranking prefer that a person physically review the websites being submitted so that they do not link to what SEO experts call "Black Hat" sites. Black Hat sites violate the rules established by search engines in order to gain an advantage.

Directories have various types of listings and are known by how they handle the inclusion of websites, links and articles. Free Submission Directories do not charge for the listing of the site. Reciprocal Link Directories require a link back to the directory or another web site from the listed website in order to get into the directory. Paid Submission Directories have a one-time or recurring fee for listing the submitted link or article. Bid for Position Directories list the submitted websites based on how much each is willing to pay for the position through a bid process. An Affiliate Links Directory earns commissions for referring customers to the listed sites.

Article directories are the same as their link counterparts, except that instead of categorizing links, articles are organized in the appropriate categories. RSS directories are also similar but contain a collection of RSS feeds, instead of web sites.

Some directories are very general and list websites across many categories. Niche directories focus on select regions, languages, or business sectors. An example is a shopping directory. Shopping directories specialize in the listing of retail stores that have online shops.

The websites below are directories that have quality sites and information. Scan through them and select the best ones for your website. Make sure that they have the category that works best for you.
