Direct to site: http://www.IncomingLinks.com
Summary:
The new IncomingLinks.com "Directory of Directories" catalogues over 500 niche directories that publicly state their willingness to receive new link submissions from relevant sites. The site catalogues each directory by theme, and gives information on the most appropriate way to submit a link request. "I've been building websites since 1996," said Edwin Hayward, the owner of IncomingLinks.com. "Each time I launched a new site, I had to hunt down relevant directories to list it in. This nine-year collection of useful link sources formed the basis for IncomingLinks.com."
