When I was preparing for a list of top 100 article directories, I was surprised to see that the majority of the users are not from English speaking countries. Almost 70% of visitors usually come from countries in Asia (Mid Asia & South East Asia). The remaining 30% is divided between United States, United Kingdom, Canada and Australia.
Hence I think there is a need for a new list based on the users from English speaking countries especially United States. After spending over 2 weeks compiling the list, here is the result.
It is interesting to note that only 4 directories with over 1 Million U.S. visitors per month and only 15 directories with over 100 thousand visitors per month. If a marketeer needs to submit an article manually to just a few article directories, this is the most suitable list to start with.
Here is the list, with the number of US Visitors in bracket. The reason why only U.S visitors is included not U.K. or other visitors is because there is only one easily available resource for data gathered from english speaking users.
The source is CompeteCom which is based on a diverse sample of over 2 million internet users in United States that have given them permission to analyze the web pages they visited. In the website, one could easily find the number of U.S. visitors by typing the URL of the article directories in the search box.
Without further ado, here is the list. The PageRank for these directories are between 3 and 6. This list was last updated on July 2009.
