Debra Mastaler has a great post at The Link Spiel Blog on directories and why they should be an important part of any link building strategy. She even includes a list of her favorite directories.
However, for webmasters just starting out, paying for directory submissions is not an option. This is where ISEDB and their list of free directories comes in handy.
Not only will you find listings of directories which accept non-pain submissions, but they also offer visitor ratings and reviews. The site also offers listings of Specialty, Local & Regional, and Weblogs Directories. Looking for those special directories targeting your niche? Chances are you will find it here.
The site also provides articles on search engine optimization, search engine marketing and a variety of other topics.
If you don't have the time to manually check out the site, sign up for their weekly newsletter or RSS feeds.
ISEDB should have something to interest every webmaster.
