There are more than a 1000 website directories on the Internet, where people can submit their websites. A Website Directory is an information database on other websites on the Internet, and is optimized for human reading. Various directories provide various features. The directory may support extensive search options, or categorizing information in meaningful sections.

A single website directory cannot list each and every website on the Internet, but they do list all the sites that were submitted to them. The quality of websites in a directory makes it Popular, and more expensive sometimes. The best example of Website Directories I think would be DMOZ at http://www.dmoz.org, which is a publicly edited website directory.

In case, you want to speed up the results from your website submission process, you may go for paid submission services, where directories may charge you a certain amount of fee for featured listing. Paid submission may cost anything from 10 USD to 100 USD or more for each listing, recurring annually.
