1. Check out your competitions back links. Your competition is sure to have got links from some directories. Try to get into those first.

2. Do a search in Google (the most obvious one!) using keywords like 'submit+site+directory'. You will come up with many directories for your site. And you can use your imagination to come up with new combination of keywords for searching in Google.

3. Do a search in Google with "allintitle:webdirectory". I did a search with these keywords and came up with some good directories. Or you can use "allinurl:webdirectory" also. The command "allintitle:webdirectory" shows those sites which have "webdirectory" word in the site title. Similarly the command "allinurl:webdirectory" shows those sites which have "web- directory" in the site url.You can change "webdirectory" to "internetdirectory" or any other keyword of your choice.

4. Visit various Search Engine related forums. In almost every such forum you will find some threads discussing directory sub- missions. Follow such threads ? dig deeper if needed! You will be aptly rewarded with lists of many directories posted by members of these forums.
