The hardest part of link building is finding high-quality sites to reach out to. If you do a search using a search string, you’ll usually get a mixed bag of high-, medium- and low-quality sites—which means you’ll have to spend valuable time link prospecting to separate the wheat from the chaff.
Fortunately, high-quality web directories have hand curated thousands of quality sites (and organized them by category for us). Just head to any of these directories:
Yahoo!
BOTW
JoeAnt
AllTop
DMOZ
And search for your category. Then use the Scrape Similar extension for Chrome to grab the results. And bingo! You have a list of high-quality link targets.
