A WebmasterWorld member asks how to find local directories for link building purposes.

One member suggests that you search with "directory + [your local area]" on Google or Yahoo to find some really targeted local directories.

There are also some great paid directories including Best of the Web's regional directory and Yahoo's regional directory, both of which are subscription-based models.

How do you find quality link directories?

Forum discussion continues at WebmasterWorld.
