Have you been wasting your time in finding out the best free article directories? I was also in same boat and then I decided to create the list of best free article directories to help others.

Following is the list of best FREE Article Directories on the Internet. A brief description of these directories is also given which might be useful for you for SEO purpose or just for writing and submitting informative articles.

This list also contains the Instant Approval Article Directories & Fast Approval Article Directory List.

ArticlesGala.com

Articles Gala is one of the best article directories which I’ve ever come across. There are not restrictions on who could be author and who couldn’t be. This directory is absolutely FREE, registration is FREE, and article submission is FREE.

ArticlesGala is SEO friendly as it is hosted on Class C Dedicated IP.

Approval doesn’t take much time. However you must respect their terms and conditions failing to which your article would be removed without warning. Read Terms and Conditions page before submitting.

Articles Gala doesn’t accept any duplicate content so avoid it.

The best thing about Articles Gala is that it allows you to add links from inside the content as long as it doesn;t look promotional link. No affiliate links are allowed inside the content.

You can add up to 4 links, 3 from inside the content and one from the Author box.

the best thing about Articles Gala is that unlike almost all other article directories it doesn’t flood the pages with crap Google Adsense advertisement.

thebestarticles.com

The Best Articles directory has been there for quite some time and it is also a PR2 article directory. It is absolutely FREE article directory and approval time is short. It allows links from inside the content, you can add up to 2 links one from the inside the content and 2nd in the author box .However it is very liberal and sometimes allows more than 1 link from inside the content. I’ve seen up to 4 links in some articles.

It’s tags are little different than normal HTML tag so you have to be careful while adding html code in it.

goarticles.com

Goarticles is another of my favorite article directory, it allows free submission and instant approval. You can have 3 links from inside the content and one from the Author box.

ezinearticles.com

ezinearticles sucks, it takes 1-2 weeks of time for approval and it has got more rules than n Army’s boot camp. If you have got plenty of time to kill and you have patience to wait then post articles on ezinearticles. No they have introduced the keyword density rule and you must adhere with it, which is absolutely crap. It kills the spirit of article writers who write articles naturally rather than for search engines. I predict demise of ezinearticles soon.

justarticles.net

justarticles.net is another rusting article directory which doesn’t guarantee any approval time, avoid it as it is also waste of time.

articledashboard.com

Even though it has got the PR5 it also suffers from the same problem as justarticles.net.

articlestreet.com

Articlestreet is not a true article directory but a demo if script so avoid it too.

articlealley.com

It allows HTML link inside content. However AVOID this article directory as they have a network of other article directories which uses SAME backend with different domain which ultimately gives DUPLICATE CONTENT issue.

Following are the other article directories in their netowrk

a1articles.com

What a bunch of usless idioits these people are just spamming the Internet.

tss-articles.com

Crap, just and advert trap. Avoid it.

isnare.com

PAID.

articlesidea.com

This article directory doesn’t look good as it is hosted on a shared IP address which also host some exploit websites. So AVOID it.

Here is the result of quick Domain check

Found over 1320 domains hosted on the same web server as articlesidea.com (74.220.215.205).

It appears that the web server located at 74.220.215.205 may be hosting one or more web sites with explicit content. The web sites in question are highlighted in red below. There is a possibility that all of the web sites on this web server may be blocked by web filtering software. Search engine rankings for these web sites may be affected as well.

I’ll keep on adding more article directories as I find them. If you have got any list of good article directories then don’t forget to share it with us via comment box below.
