Some paid directories are well worth submitting to if you need quality backlinks or want fast inclusion of your travel site into the major search engines like google, yahoo or MSN.

For me as a webmaster of several travel sites, the actual page rank in the travel category, not of the home page, matters. What good would a home page rank of 7 and a travel category page rank of 0 do my link building efforts. Especially if I look for fast inclusion into the search engines for a new site, it is important, that the page my link is on gets spidered by them often. And a page with page rank 0 might not even be included in the search results.

This list is ordered by page rank of the travel category. The homepage of these directories usually have even higher page rank. I will add new finding from time to time. So please check back from time to time or subscribe to our newsletter with all current information.
