Niche directories are tightly-focused directories that list websites for specific categories only. For example, a “shopping” niche directory will only include shopping related websites and a “travel” directory will only allow websites that offer resources for travelers. This is much different than general web directories because niche directories cater only to a smaller category and will not accept websites that cater to non-relevant topics.
OK, so where can I find niche directories?Niche directories are abundant – you just need to know how to look for them. Many popular directory lists offer lists of niche directories, and you can also use Google or any other major search engine to find these types of directories. Just plug in a certain phrase plus a keyword representing your niche and you should have some great success finding the right directory for you.

From personal experience I can say that niche directories are a great place to submit your website. Niche directories can send better traffic (better targeted) to your website than general directories usually do. Now, I’m not saying that you shouldn’t submit to general directories, because you should, but niche directories typically provide the best results.
Checking through my server logs and visitor statistics tracker, I have found quite a few direct referrals from directories. And, in most cases I am getting more traffic from the niche directories than from general directories.
By submitting to niche directories, you’re getting very relevant backlinks – which is great for SEO! Page 25 of 48 Directory Submission Secrets
