Which Affiliate Directories are most popular?

There are many directories, but some only can bring a program 20 views a month. Which are the best for driving heavy traffic to your affiliate program? I am already aware of AffiliatePrograms.com...but what are some others?

Well, a little self promotion doesn't hurt here :)

I run a search engine optimized affiliate directory. Each listing has its own HTML page with full meta data amongst a dozen other features. Many of my users submission pages have a Google PR between 3/10 and 4/10. The trick to having a good search engine optimized listing in my directory is to write good submissions.

One and two sentences describing the program are not enough and do not compel a potential user to buy the product or sign up as a sub affiliate. Many users simply plug in the bare minimum...well that's what your going to receive in return. Be sure to add good keywords in your title and desciption box. Go to http://inventory.overture.com/d/sear...ry/suggestion/ to find good keywords related to the product or service you're promoting.

I'm always working on ways to improve the dirextory and actively promote it through marketing campaigns. Check HERE for my MSN lsiting for "affiliate program"

I just recently registered to your Top Affiliate directory and am awaiting approval. I was also wondering if it is possible to get into the b2b directory with the same information, or if I need to register separately..?

The two directories are not linked....That is a good idea however for merchants so I will investigate it. I'm still adding categories and subcategories to that directory but you are more than welcome to list your services. Once it is complete I will transfer you listing to the most appropriate category.

How long does the review process go for Top Affiliate before the listing is posted?

Usually no more than 24 hours. Did you read the submission guidelines? That will tell you exactly how to make a submission. Hope that helps.
