Top 10 Largest web Directories to get backlink
1. Yahoo! Directory
Description: The Yahoo! Directory is the web’s most popular as you can see from the traffic comparison below. Although, I believe the 3-rank is for Yahoo! iteself, not the directory. Desite this, undoubtedly, the Yahoo! directory is the largest rival to DMOZ. The directory was Yahoo’s primary method of search until 2002 when the change to crawler-based searches was implemented (source).
Cost: Free (takes as long as DMOZ to get listed) or $299/annually (cut-the-line fee)

9. Your Joker
Description: This is a good directory in that it’s human edited and free. The problem is there’s a lot of ads all over the place and not very user friendly IMO. It is definitely worth submitting your site to this index. To submit a link you have to register (bummer) then browse to the appropriate category for your website and click Suggest a Link
