Everybody seems to focus on Pagerank these days, but it is important to consider the fact that the Pagerank that shows up in your Google Toolbar is only updated 3 or 4 times a year and can be very inaccurate. To get a more accurate representation of which web directories actually offer the most SEO benefits, I used seoMoz’s Linkscape tool to rate each directory and see which are truly the strongest right now. Below you will find a list of the top 25 web directories based on mozRank, a measure of the available “link-juice” that can be passed on to your site.
