I was looking to submit a website to the search engines when I came across this web directory called Max web directory. It made me happy to find that this was a free directory while many others are paid. So I lost no time in getting my website listed on this web directory. I had to insert the website URL, title and description. And lo and behold! The approval came in less than 24 hours. They said they have zero tolerance for web masters who try to use spam methods by putting in lots of keywords. Anyway, I had to look into their listings and viewing the listings was absolutely free.
There were different articles that could be read on the websites. Those articles were updated articles on SEO and internet marketing and they were much informative. I also looked into the different new listings on the websites. I liked looking into the various categories and it was a pleasurable experience because the website listed good websites. This is a human edited directory and I felt humans did a better job than those in the paid automated directories. The web directory encouraged link popularity and some of the websites would get listed after reciprocal link exchange.
