2. Do a search in Google (the most obvious one!) using keywords like 'submit+site+directory'. You will come up with many directories for your site. And you can use your imagination to come up with new combination of keywords for searching in Google.

3. Do a search in Google with "allintitle:webdirectory". I did a search with these keywords and came up with some good directories.
Or you can use "allinurl:webdirectory" also. The command "allintitle:webdirectory" shows those sites which have "webdirectory" word in the site title. Similarly the command "allinurl:webdirectory" shows those sites which have "webdirectory" in the site url.You can change "webdirectory" to
"internetdirectory" or any other keyword of your choice .

4. Visit various Search Engine related forums .In almost every such forum you will find some threads discussing directory submissions. Follow such threads – dig deeper if needed! You will be aptly rewarded with lists of many directories posted by members of these forums.

5. Visit some good directories like http://dmoz.org,
http://dir.yahoo.com, http://www.joeant.com, http://www.goguides.org and search for the 'directories' category. These prominent
directories provides lists of other good directories on the net.
