There are valuable websites, directories, and social networks which approve all types of websites (blogs, forums, general web pages).
1) Digg - if you are not there yet… you miss a lot. Digg provide average traffic for all websites even 1 year after submission. If you submit your articles and stories on average basis it can give you several hundreds visitors each month and valuable backlink for Google. Moreover, if your story became featured and appear for couple hours on frontpage… your traffic can jump up to 1 000 000 visitors during busy business day and 20 000 - 200 000 visitors during nighttime.
2) DMOZ - still not there? Hurry, everyday it become harder to be approved. If your link rejected, try again in 3-4 month. Make sure that you found the most appropriate category for your site. Also, try to give the best description you can without trying to put keywords, spam phrases, and offers. DMOZ still count’s by Google, Yahoo, MSN and other search engines.
3) SpicyPage - most social networks prefer to accept only weblogs, news sites, or RSS feeds. SpicyPage offer to create real profile for your site with description, additional links, sub domain submission, pictures, ranking buttons, comments… Google pick new added links to these networks in 1-5 hours.
4) EzineArticles - the best article directory (more article social network) where people can write and share articles. Almost all article pages reach pr5-6 with every pagerank update. It is also the best place to expose your writing skills.
5) DirectoryCritic top 10 /100. Have you ever checked Directory critic? Good network to find best rated and most popular directories with fast approval and good traffic. If you go deep and become submit your site in hundreds directories you will see that many of them are crappy, but you have to add your site at least in top 10 or top 20 free or niche directories.
6) Furl. Do you remember great “dot com bubble” network called LookSmart. Yes, they still around and their search engine kind of sucks, but this guys have Furl which count as one of the most popular social bookmarking network. Google and other search engine still count LookSmart projects as valuable and important websites (kind of support for old friend and competitor). Adding your link to Furl you automatically receive a quality link for your website.
7) MySpace. Create profile of your business / hobby on MySpace. You can create blog, group, forum and link your site when it is appropriate. Be careful, because you are close to become a spammer but… if you provide fresh idea, good content, promote this group a little bit, support it… your MySpace website / business profile could be a great thing for your business and extra traffic.
8 ) MyBlogLog. Even if you don’t have blog or a website with news page and active RSS feeds you can still create profile for yourself and share link to your website. MyBlogLog was just sold to Yahoo… good sign.
9) Pegasusdirectory - #1 directory according DirectoryCritic. This guys approve free links really fast providing best category. I really like this general directory.
10) 43 things. Social networks to share things to do. If you post your link right away… account will be banned. You have to write a little bit and only after to post your link.
