If you’d like to promote your site and get it listed a slightly different kind of directory perhaps you might be interested in visiting The Big Weblinks directory.

As I said it’s a little different than Google or Yahoo. You can submit your site and it will be looked over by a human editor, but sites are listed according to how much they’ve bid for placement. Therefore this is a bidding web directory. Sites offering the highest bid amounts are listed at the top of each category section, and the top 10 listings are shown on the front page. The top 20 link bidders are also shown on the top links page.

Any listings you place in the Big Weblinks directory are permanent. Why don’t you check it out, read their FAQ.
