Getting listed in the various Twitter directories is an important step in building your Twitter following for a couple of reasons. Submitting for entry to the directories is very similar to submitting a website to search engines – people won’t be able to find you if you’re not. This is where your one-line bio becomes very important – people will be able to find you based upon the categories you select in each directory as well as by the keywords listed in your bio. Be sure to select your categories in each directory thoughtfully and tweak your bio accordingly:
- Twellow – the granddaddy of all Twitter directories, likened to the Twitter “Yellow Pages”.
- Twitterholic – Simply enter in your username on the home page where it says: “Check out your Twitterholic Ranking! http://twitterholic.com/______________ Click the “Go!” button and you’re good to go.”
- TwitterCounter – Click on the “Who are You on Twitter” badge in the upper right hand corner of the page to add your Twitter profile.
- JustTweetIt – Sign up for a free account, select the 3 most relevant directories in JustTweetIt to be included in. Pay special attention to the description for your listing. Add relevant keywords in your description as well as a link to your blog or site.
- GeoFollow – locally sorted directory for Twitter.
- Loaded Web – Click on the “Add Yourself To the Local Twitter Directory” link, verify your Twitter identity, enter your country, state and city and “Add Your Account” to LoadedWeb’s directory.
- Wefollow – A user powered Twitter directory
- Tweetburn – Tweetburn is a directory of the top twitter users on popular topics
- TweetSocial – TweetSocial Twitter Directory
- Floxee – The most powerful Twitter directory platform on the web
Getting listed in these Twitter Directory listings is one of the most important first steps in building a solid, targeted following so don’t skip this step when your building your following.

once again Bill you have provided a really fantastic post and a valuable resource for twitter newbies like myself. I will now get distracted from what I was doing before to go and investigate and play with all these tools you have expertly assembled together. (Thanks a lot! -more distractions!)
But honestly, this is a great read and truly a valuable resource. I have quite a few of your posts bookmarked as references now. Awesome content coming from sellitontheweb!

LOL I was totally going to write up a post on this exact subject. Now I’ll just share yours. I had not heard of Floxee or LoadedWeb. Will definitely check both of those out as well.
