DeadFly SEO

You would think that I have nothing better to do, I am avoiding real work and browsing Irish Webmasters Forum, and read a topic on web directories. So here just for the hell of it is a list of Irish web directories. There are bound to be more web directories in Ireland, so if you know of any drop me a line and I will add it.

All of these directories are hosted in Ireland, there are others that are hosted outside of Ireland. The ones that don’t have clean links are using “no follow” or redirects, for SERP’s these are a waste of time. I must add that I rarely get any traffic from directories, so I would not use these, that is a purely personal choice.

Directories are a easy place to start building links. The best place I know for lists of directories is at Directory Critic.

Irelands Directory – PR 3 – Three different types of listing 1 without any link, 2 reciprocal, 3 paid, however they do not state on the site how much a paid listing is but rather email you once you have submitted your details, a bit annoying. Clean links.

Browse Ireland PR5 – Two different types of listing 1 Premium at a cost of €250 per year. For this you get top of page listing and a clean SEO listing. 2. Free link using a redirect – useless as a link to help in SERP’s

Ireland Local PR6 – associated with Browse Ireland (above), not even a submit form one this site, really should not consider it as separate directory – again redirect links anyway.

Irish Blogs Don’t know if this should be here – not a directory but a feed reader for Irish blogs – anyway if you have an Irish blog you would be missing out on a great opportunity not to be listed here – so get over there and add your feed url.
