Very clean with few listings. This 2 year old site gives you custom in-content links (your link text is in the middle of your description, surrounded by your relevant keywords) which should maximize the SEO benefits. Good value for the price of this paid directory. Some of the categories are starting to have too many listings per page for my liking. New submissions are listed at the top.

Good looking site with a unique design and un-crowded pages. Sitesnoop has been a directory for over 3 years. Their PageRank is well spread around the site. The only negative is that they have quite a few listings on a page in some categories. Additional deep links available for $5 each.

An attractive site that has been around for a long time, although it looks like it was a search engine before becoming a directory. Categories are not crowded, offering good PR opportunities, although it's alphabetical listings will give the advantage to sites with titles at the beginning of the alphabet. They don't let you choose your own title. They offer an $8 submission but their review period is an unreasonable 6 to 9 weeks (no reason for that?)and their $20 submission promises 3 business days. Affiliate businesses and sites without proper contact info are not accepted.

A unique design. Shows little extras like site PR and ratings. They have fairly strict inclusion guidelines. Price is very fair.

Site looks good and is well-categorized. Non-commercial sites can submit for free (they also have free submissions but by the number of listings I would doubt that any are approved).
