How do you tell if a directory is a smammy one? There are a lot of directories out there. The really niche, or new directories that people are forming could have lower PR etc. but be a good place for you to be in. So how do you know where you shouldn't be? Or for that matter, where you definitely should be. Question. How do you tell if a directory is a smammy one? There are a lot of directories out there.

I've been meaning to look closer at the value of link building in regards to directory submissions.
