About:
Among the directory users, this has earned a lot of respect since 2004.
Every submission is manually reviewed and only top quality sites are approved.

Every listed site can be rated (0 to 10) by anyone. Another good feature is a site can be reported for category mismatch, inappropriate content etc.

Apart from usual categories, websites can be submitted by continent wise plus all the states wise in U.S.

Pros:
Since this directory is widely used, websites can expect a good page rank and traffic.

Cons:
Free submissions can take a very long time to get reviewed.
