ALERT: Google is currently updating their Toolbar Pageranks. We are editing the Pagerank values we show below as they get changed. Expect that these values may be temporary, and subject to change as the new official Google rankings evolve over the next few days. Check back for latest listings daily.

Most experts agree that increasing the number of highly ranked, high quality backlinks pointing to your site is the best way to increase organic traffic from search engines. The more popular sites that link to you (without a “nofollow” tag of course), then the more likely you may be to show up near the top of search result pages for most search engines. Like in high school, being successful online means being “in with the in crowd”.

And, the easiest way to do that is simply to go through the tedious process of submission to hundreds and hundreds of the most popular free listing sites. You might want to buy links from some of them, but Google has recently opposed this practice vigorously, and decreases their Pagerank and in some cases even bans them for the practice. So, we’re left with choices that require a bit of work from us.

So… there are really only 3 “safe and sure” ways to ensure that your site gets high quality incoming back links (IBLs):

• Free Article Sites (like eZineArticles.com)
• Free Web Site Directories or Indexes (like DMOZ.org, or Yahoo.com, which isn’t free)
• Free Press Release Sites (like PR.com)

Of course, the easiest way to get started is to submit your web-site to at least the top 100 free directories or so. Once you’re accepted by these sites, you will get free high quality backlinks without spending hours writing tedious articles or press releases.

That doesn’t mean that you should ignore the press release sites or article sites. I think that considering the work involved, most of us would want to start with the free directory or index lists.

Today, we’ve researched the actual current Google Pagerank of over 1,500 sites called “free web directories”. We’ve spent hours carefully logging the true popularity of these sites, trying to determine which are the best as of the moment (things change rapidly these days). Obviously, if you’re taking the time to fill out the forms on these sites to “join” their community and so on, you should start at the top, and work your way down.

One suggestion — work fast! We’ve found that some of these lists that purported to be currently only a few weeks ago are completely worthless. Hundreds of these sites have decreased in Google Pagerank by 2, 3 or even 4 whole positions merely over the last 2 or 3 months.

Here is the complete list. Enjoy it and tell your friends!

Note: If you use this list to help improve the rankings on your own site, please include a working link that points back to us, without a “nofollow” tag, please. Use the link shown below. We appreciate it, and it’s the way to pay us for the work in producing this valuable compilation. Thanks!

HOW TO LINK TO US: Drag across the text below to select it. Then press CONTROL-C to copy the selected text. Open a page on your site and paste using CONTROL-V the copied link into your page. Thanks!

Over the next few days, we will be researching hundreds of the free press release and also the free article sites. We’ll upload those as soon as they are finished, so come back soon to check.

Remember, it is important to act fast on these lists. In today’s world, the value of a “free” SEO web marketing site can increase or decrease overnight.
