Several weeks ago, I announced my new Article Directory Ranking List. It that time, I had a few dozen directories listed -- and I was focused on the directories that I personally considered to be the best.

Now, the Article Directory List has been expanded to include over 400 Article Directories -- all ranked by Alexa and Google PR using my "special algorithm." The ranking algorithm takes the log of the Google Page Rank +2 and multiplies it times 10,000 over the Alexa score, then adds an offset. This results in a number that ranges from about zero to around 100.

Anyway, check it out and let me know what you think.

Note that I have focused on directories that work with Article Post Robot -- almost all (but not quite all) of the directories listed can be posted to automatically using that software. Because of that, the special discount offer for Article Post Robot is still available for MasonWorld.com readers.

My goal is to have the best article directory listing on the internet, so comments, diggs and stumbles are appreciated!

Finally, note the the list is still in beta. If there is something you would like to see (that can be automated) please let me know in the comments below.

Tell me what you think!

Thanks!

In the past few months, I have written about the value of article marketing.  One of the questions that always comes up is "what article directories should I submit to."  As you know, I follow the article marketing strategy outlined in Article Marketing Domination, and I use Article Post Robot to post my articles.  Still, the question remains, "what are the best article directories."

See, the problem is that you can find excellent article directory lists, but they are out of date as soon as they are published.  After some discussions with my buddy, Article Marketing guru Josh Spaulding, I decided that what was needed was a site that ranks article directories on an on-going basis.  So, I fired up the text editor and wrote a simple Perl script to do just that.

Introducing the MasonWorld Article Directory List

I have created a script that looks at various stats for the major article directories and ranks them.  The script runs every Sunday night, providing you with a weekly ranking of the best article directories.  Currently, ranking is based on Google Page Rank and Alexa score.  However, I have lots of additional features planned, including additional ranking criteria.

Your suggestions, comments and ideas are appreciated.
