What kind of directory list gives the most value?

Undoubtedly, the info vilesilencer seo directory list holds a great reputation for having quality, responsive directories.  For a moment, though - let’s think about what “the” ideal directory list would be for submissions.

With the obvious out of the way - they would have to be general directories, free, not requiring a reciprocal link & not requiring registration, though that’s not a terrible issue.  Also - they must be search engine friendly, of course.  But what else?

A directory having a high pagerank is good, yes.  I think that the age of the domain could/should come into play as well.  But what about other factors?

I’ve read & seen, though not that often - directory submission lists touting different class c ip addresses.  Some time ago there was a post on the vn7.com blog about a couple of different websites - while one had significantly more backlinks, the website with more unique backlinks (though far less in total) outranked the first in the same keywords.  This, I believe, was also coupled with poor on page optimization for the site with more ip address unique backlinks.  Does this factor still make that much of a difference?  If it did - we should really see more directory submissions that offered unique class c ip address directories as an option. 

I’m sure there are other factors that should come into play as well.  As posted before in this blog, page strength might be a good tool for comprising a quality directory list for submission.

I’m by no means trying to reinvent the wheel as there are great, well maintained directory lists out there: It’s just - if there were a directory list - that almost guaranteed an immediate and significant jump in your website rankings, alongside steady increasing popularity for every website you submitted to this magical list -  why shouldn’t we try to improve on what’s already available?

I would really love input on this - as I, myself, am working on a couple of things for this “magical” directory list as I have time.  I’m not too far into it, but would love to hear what others think would give a directory list a real, and significant value - aside from what is readily available today.
