Hi

Could someone tell me what are the other major directories -- the ones that pull the same weight as DMOZ? Or aren't there any?

Hi Sun.

The Yahoo Directory and DMOZ are the most important major web directories but here are a few more.

ZEAL Directory

Gimpsy Directory

GoGuides Directory

Jayde Directory

InCrawler Directory

You might also want to consider MSN's small business directory.

The last time I checked, it was 49.99 and you could link to a couple other pages/subdomains within your domain.

Are you looking for free or paid?

Business.com charges a $299 annual listing fee. Business.com is a purchase more for direct traffic than link popularity.
DMOZ - also known as the Open Directory Project - provides free listings, but it may take a while to get your site listed.
Gimpsy verb based directory which charges a one time $40 fee or also list your site free if you are willing to wait 21 days.
GoGuides one time $40 fee or provides free listings for editors.
JoeANT one time $40 fee or provides free listings for editors (it is quick and easy to become an editor.)
LookSmart pay per click directory which does not provide static links. Due to low traffic quality LookSmart is not worth the money in my humble opinion.
Lycos Directory European based directory.
Skaffe one time $40 fee or provides free listings to editors. Originally Built from GoGuides core data.
Web Beacon one time $40 fee or provides free listings to editors. Originally Built from GoGuides core data.
Yahoo $299 annual fee or free for non commercial websites.
Zeal the free side of the LookSmart directory. Provides free listings to editors for non commercial websites.
