A new website needs to be found, and it’s not as easy as it once was to get links from other websites.

If you’re an author, book or magazine publisher, you can get your first link from PublishingCentral.com.

But one link is not enough.

Some of the places online where you’ll have a fighting change at getting backlinks to your site is from web directories. Some of these require links back to the directory, and others are free. The only ones I avoid completely are those that require payment for placement, since the vast majority of these links won’t bring more than a few visitors a year.

What they will do, however, is give your website a boost of credibility with Google and the other search engines.

Here are a few quality directories you might want to try:
