We regularly create new websites covering various topics. In the process we regularly try to include our sites into different web directories. This is always a trial and error experience. There are hundreds of at least medium sized general web directories around, and it is sometimes difficult to judge which ones are more suitable for promoting a website. It takes usually a lot of time to search for web directories randomly, and add your URL to the more useful ones. As a result, we think most webmasters give up after adding their site to 5 or 10 directories.

Directory108.com is an attempt to categorize different web directories, giving information on their size, number of visitors, ranking in Google. Importantly we indicate which directories offer free submissions, and which ones only offer paid inclusions. Some services are actually quite deceptive, and only ask for money after you filled in a long form.

Our editors come from Europe, and live presently in Thailand. But we do hope this site thas worldwide appeal.

You can contact us (vg AT directory108 DOT com) and suggest your own general web directory. But at least your directory should have content (that is, at least a few hundred listings) and not have PageRank of 0 (mainly because we rightfully suspect that these directories have in the past used unscrupulous practices).

What's in our name?

What's is our name? The number 108 stands for the 108 auspicious qualities of the Buddha. These 108 qualities are often displayed symbolically by drawings on the sole of reclining Buddha images.

However, Directory108.com does not intend to teach Buddhism or religion. In common Thai spoken and written language, the number 108 has come to stand for 'many, abundant, not countable'. It is with this meaning that our website name has to be understood. Directory108.com hopes to be a directory of directories, where you can find lots of directories and lots of information.
