Niche directories are great for the web. Some argue that they are no good, but we highly beg to differ... in fact, so much so, that we would say that many niche directories are better than search engines. Not all, but most. Good directories are highly valuable to both web surfers and website owners. Visitors are able to find what they're looking for much faster and easier.
