Looking for a new directory with value, I am having a hard time. I love places that offer free links, but they end up just putting my URL with all the spam sites too. I feel like Google is going to penalize me for it. I have been searching webmaster forums and directory ranking sites and I have found a few strong directories. I like the new design of the Za7 Web Directory. Its fun and easy to navigate now. I also like the V7N directory with Webdirectory7 as a good site that needs more page rank.

How do you know where to find the best web services now? I think SEO consultants and web hosting sites need a place to be listed so a webmaster can just look in one place to find what they need when starting a site. Graphic designers also want to be included in this category so they can offer their services to the webmaster who is shopping.
